-Caveat Lector- http://www.bushwatch.com/flynt.htm excerpt from TV reporter Del Walters' L.A. interview with Larry Flynt for ABC Ch.7 in Washington, D.C which aired on Thursday, 10/19/00, oine day previous to the Crossfire interview (see below). Walters: "Are you currently seeking information or do you have information on him (G.W. Bush)?" Flynt: "Yes we do. … It depresses me to see this nation get so excited about somebody like him. We know a lot about Bush, some may be coming out before the election, but I don't know." Walters: "But people are gong to say, 'How do we really know you have the goods on George W. Bush and how do we know you're not just posturing for publicity." Flynt: "Okay, first of all, when we nailed (Congressman) Livingston, he did an interview in the New York Times the next day and referred to me as a bottom feeder and they called me for a comment and I said, 'That's right, but look what I found when I got down there."... Walters: "A lot of people are going to ask, 'Should sex have anything to do with the presidential election?" Flynt: "Absolutely, because there's nothing more political than sex. … Sex is the most political thing in the world."... Anchor: IN RESPONSE TO LARRY FLYNT'S ALLEGATIONS OF INFORMATION ABOUT GEORGE W. BUSH, THE BUSH CAMPAIGN TOLD THE I-TEAM, "MR. FLYNT IS NOT A CREDIBLE SOURCE ON ANY ISSUE AND WE'RE NOT AWARE OF THESE ALLEGATIONS." What this interview shows is that the Bush camp had 24 hours at the very least to construct an answer to Flynt's charges of Bush sexual misbehavior, and the best they could come up with (see next story) is to attack CNN for airing them. --Politex, 10/21/00 Bush Responds to Flynt Abortion Allegation By Attacking Messenger According to Drudge Report, Bush responded to Larry Flynt's charge that he was "involved in" an abortion in the 1970's by having a "senior Bush source" say, "CNN's standards have hit a new low, if that is even possible! It appears the liberal media is becoming desperate as Election Day nears." Neither Bush nor anyone on the campaign team, however, was reported as disagreeing with the Flynt charges. Flynt Charges Bush "Involved In" 1970's Abortion In a half-hour show on CNN's Crossfire this evening, moderator Robert Novak waited until the very end of the show, which was devoted to filtering software on the internet, to say to magazine publisher Larry Flynt, "You said you wanted to talk about the election. Tell me what you wanted to say." Flynt answered, "For eight months we've been looking into George W. Bush's background. And we've found out in the early 1970s he was involved in an abortion in Texas, and I just think that it's sad that the mainstream media, who's aware of this story, won't ask him that question when they were able to ask him the drug question without any proof at all, and we've got all kinds of proof on this issue....You know, the guy admitted he was a drunk for 20 years, and if the abortion issue is true then that puts him lower on the morality scale than Bill Clinton." Novak replied at that point, "Mr. Flynt, you said if it's true and you have no proof of that. I gather you are a very strong..." Flynt, whose previous investigation of national-level politicians led to at least one resignation from Congress, loudly interrupted, "The hell we don't have proof!" The camera cut from Flynt in L.A. back to Bill Press and Robert Novak, sheepishly grinning in the studio. Novak said, "Larry Flynt, thank you very,very much for joining us." Press added, "You never know. Live television." Yes, you never know. --Politex, Friday Evening, 10/20/00 Transcribed in the CNN Chat room AFTER Flynt's appearance on the program--- CNN - Mr. Flynt, I would like to know how you plan to protect yourself from a law suit by claiming to have the goods on GWBush. Flynt: Because we have them and the truth is an absolute defense. CNN; When and where are you going to publish information about George W. Bush? Flynt: When I said that we had the proof, I am referring to knowing who the girl was, knowing who the doctor was that pereformed the abortion, evidence from girlfriends of hers at the time, who knew about the romance and the subsequent abortion. The young lady does not want to go public, and without her willingness, we don't feel that we're on solid enough legal ground to go with the story, because should she say it never happened, then we've got a potential libel suit. But we know we have enough evidence that we believe completely. One of the things that interested us was that this abortion took place before Roe Vs. Wade in 1970 [sic. 1973], which made it a crime at the time. I'd just like the national media to ask him if abortion is okay for him and his family, but not for the rest of America. We're not looking at it as a big issue, we're looking at it as a situation of people not being told the truth. I think the American people have a right to know everything there is to know about someone running for President. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
