Larry Flynt fought several high-profile first amendment legal battles. What some want today, censorship to ban "hate," isn't much different than the old obscenity laws.

There was a movie, The People vs. Larry Flynt about it.

The right to publish smut. Yeah, way to go pushing "free speech" to an extreme nobody needs.

It's the extremes that need protecting. Nobody cares if you say inoffensive things. And this in turn protects us, theoretically anyways, from being silenced if suddenly what we say is also deemed offensive.

As in Fascism: You have the right to say, write, or publish anything that is morally acceptable.
