Is Larry Flynt Racist?

No, Larry Flynt is not racist.

Officials said that Joseph Paul Franklin, a racist who targeted African Americans and Jews and attempted to assassinate Larry Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, was executed Wednesday morning in Missouri.

Larry, who has used a wheelchair since the 1978 attack, had unsuccessfully pleaded for mercy for his assailant.

It also came after a series of last-minute legal appeals failed, delaying the execution by several hours.

Franklin was executed at a state prison in Bonne Terre, Missouri, for killing Gerald Gordon in 1997 in a sniper attack on a St. Louis synagogue.

Franklin named himself after the infamous Nazi propaganda minister, was convicted of seven other murders, and claimed responsibility for up to 20 others during a cross-country racist killing spree from 1977 to 1980.
