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.
