Page "Hustler" Paragraph 8

Hustler has long had a left-wing editorial policy on economics, foreign policy, and social issues.

Flynt and Hustler are also noted for having a more populist and working-class outlook than the more upscale-oriented Playboy and Penthouse.

Throughout the 1980s, Flynt used his magazine as a podium with which to launch attacks on the Reagan Administration and the Religious Right, and even published a short-lived political magazine called Rebel.

During the controversy surrounding Bill Clinton's impeachment, Flynt publicly announced his sympathy for Clinton, and offered cash rewards to anyone with information regarding sexual impropriety on the part of the president's critics.

In 2003, Flynt ran unsuccessfully for the office of Governor of California during that state's recall election.
