This headline is misleading and only promotes Larry Flynt as some sort of civil rights crusader. The man "who paralyzed" him is a serial killer and white supremicist convicted of multiple murders. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Paul_Franklin

If we want to promote the people who have shown grace and forgiveness for horrible crimes committed against them, there are many people to celebrate over Larry Flynt. Likewise, the number of anti death-sentence crusaders are plentiful and far more admirable than Larry Flynt.

Title is not misleading, he wants to spare his life, he does not want him to go out of prision. He thinks prision is a better punishment, as killing the convict only lasts for seconds. He just does not want killing. This is different.

Actually, Larry Flynt is a civil rights crusader, at least as much as any CEO is these days. He has two causes in particular: he's in favor of the First Amendment (and consequently against censorship in any form) and he's against the death penalty.

If you're trying to imply that Flynt is politically allied or sympathetic to white supremacists, I think that's laughable.

If you want to say that Flynt is not a particularly nice person outside of his causes, well, I don't think you'll get much argument but it's also irrelevant.
