Quote
Simon Leis:
[Referring to the Santa Claus cartoon while in court]
Do you think the founding fathers had a cartoon like this in mind when they wrote the first amendment to our Constitution?
Larry Flynt:
[while on the witness stand]
No but I don't think they had Playboy in mind or people either for that matter because I saw a couple of four letter words in there a few weeks back.
Simon Leis:
But isn't a community allowed to set its own standards?
Larry Flynt:
No that's just the disguise for censorship. This country belongs to me just as much it belongs to you, if you don't like Hustler Magazine, don't read it.
Simon Leis:
I don't but what about our innocent children that gaze upon it in our grocery stores?
Larry Flynt:
If a kid gets caught drinking beer in a tavern, we don't ban Budweiser across the nation.
