Larry Flynt's corporate-pimp speech is spoken with a
patriarchal accent, somehow through a vagina.
Exactly how is it that a woman's open vulva
became his mouthpiece?

For decades Larry Flynt, "free speech hero," has been wooing and using
the Left to lend legitimacy to his corrupt, dehumanizing, and expanding
empire. We reject this knowing or unknowing alliance.
At this site you will see who on the Left has been used by Larry Flynt:
some unwillingly, some willingly, and some enthusiastically like Greg
Palast.
You can read their own explanations of how some, like Noam Chomsky,
were misled to be in Hustler magazine, you will be alerted to which groups
Flynt routinely targets for abuse, and you will find analysis of
Flynt’s speech relative to the speech of those he participates in oppressing.
If you are concerned about corrupt corporate limitations on human
freedoms, civil rights, speech rights, and animal rights, we invite you to
visit Hustling The Left. This site was created for responsible speech to
exist and be dispersed freely by you about the harm done by corporate
pimp Larry Flynt and his pornography empire, including his
collaborators, apologists, and his financially well-endowed bevy of lawyers..
Our speech is as protected as Flynt’s even though we’re not government
spin-doctors, media moguls, advertising agencies, multimillionaire
pornographers, and corporate pimps. This site exposes how Flynt’s
harassment and bombastic bluster in response to our speech; and how he has used
harassment and intimidation techniques so typical of those in power
with greater privileges and resources.
Oppressed and systematically silenced people have no media empires, or
reliable access to mainstream media, through which to speak critically
about media, culture, and the politics of each. This site provides a
forum for radical voices to be heard. --F.U.C.K. (Feminists Uncovering

We, the contributors to this new website, are using our First Amendment
right to expose and critique hate speech. We are focusing here on
corporate pimp and pornographer Larry Flynt because so many politicos and
pundits from the Left have failed to comment on, much less confront
Flynt’s hate speech. While Flynt's censored speech has been celebrated in
mainstream film, the multibillion dollar sexxxism industry is mimicked in
commercial advertising and pornography's themes and aesthetics are
commonplace on TV shows. The sexual exploitation, violence, and degradation
--that previously were only found in pornography and other real-life
sexual exploitation, violence, and degradation, is no longer only a
staple in the centerfolds of a few adult magazines, but is, rather, a staple
of corporate-owned media.
The omnipresence of this particular form of speech is responded to in
two ways by the increasingly impotent press: wide-ranging apologetics or
an utter lack of critical attention. We contend that the sexxxism
industry's systematic human rights abuses are atrocious and the Left must
speak to the atrocious harm of the overlapping sexxxism industries:
pornography, prostitution, trafficking, sex tourism, and sexual slavery.
Flynt has engaged for some time in a battle for social prominence and
power. What is largely unnoticed, or, if noticed, unchallenged by
anyone, is his war against those who speak out against him. We think the
contents of this site will reveal what he wishes to keep under wraps: Larry
Flynt is a hostile, misogynist, racist, power-hungry corporate pimp
rather than a poor, besieged, free speech hero.
His pornographic speech rides on the life-breath of subordinated
people. We understand that even more people are dehumanized by the
consumption of Flynt’s speech. We are increasingly transformed into compulsive
consumers of the sexxxism industry's hate speech. This hate speech
fosters addiction and despair and is fueled by harm and humiliation. Younger
generations of women now think pornography is eroticism, that stripping
on a pole is sexual liberation, and that being sexually used--with or
without consen--is acceptable or unavoidable. Tragically, a
sexxx-obsessed public has been mind-fucked by the messages in pornography.
In an effort to keep his status erect, Flynt has wooed some people in
the anti-corporate Left while simultaneously targeting feminists and
feminism, using the First Amendment as his club. This site is our response
to his efforts to intimidate and harass us. This site also reflects our
demand that the Silent Left be held accountable for its collaboration
and complicity with Flynt. We encourage those on the Left to clarify
their positions on these corporate violations of human and animal rights.
At this site you will see who on the Left has been used by Larry
Flynt's multimillion dollar pornography empire; some unwittingly or
unwillingly, like Noam Chomsky, others willingly, and some enthusiastically,
like Greg Palast. You will read their own explanations-about how some were
misled, lied to, and demeaned by Hustler and their representatives.
Please be advised: This site is for people over 18 only. Please go no
further if you are under 18 years of age. If you are triggered by hate
speech visual imagery we strongly caution you about entering this site.
It is in no way our intention to re-traumatize anyone already injured
by the kind of material presented here. On the other hand, we hope that
our analysis of the hate speech images here will be empowering. Each
page of this site contains link back to this warning.
