Porn producer invokes the Bush/Yoo defense -- unsuccessfully

Citizens who produce fictitious films depicting "humiliation" and "degradation" will be sent to prison. Government officials who do that in reality will be immunized.

    Wow, Glenn is fearless ...

    I'm certainly not a gourmand of porn. Neither am I a prude. But this guy, Max Hardcore, "reads" like a total scumbag. At least the few articles I read before having to stop and take a shower.

    And I fully agree with Glenn's overall theme in this blog post. Which really has nothing to do with whether Max Hardcore is a piece of shit or not with how he treats his adult actresses.

    Either way, I just think it takes a whole lot of balls to use this guy as a comparison, no matter how apt, for Glenn's overall point.

    This IMHO is the kind of "stuff" that separates the true advocates of what freedom is really all about versus the pablum we "think" represents freedom. Further, the real shame of it all, as I see it, is that most people would probably go crazy with the desire to imprison this guy or just plain crucify him. Which says a whole lot about how much people understand about freedom of expression.

    Glenn, my hat's off to you sir! If Salon.com had a "Fearless Freedom Warrior" award I'd nominate you.
