Paid to Piss People Off Book 2, Porn

This second volume covers Barry Lynn’s efforts as an ACLU lawyer to defend the First Amendment rights of everyone from promoters of controversial products including tobacco and condoms to flag burners and rockstars. His efforts to discredit the Reagan era “Commission on Pornography” as he crossed the country observing it, generated unexpected and hilarious anecdotes, even as his insights and work resulted in serious and lasting positive change. This led to Commission member and architect of Christian Nationalism, Dr. James Dobson, telling him: “you destroyed all the good work we tried to accomplish”. As Lynn puts it, “everyone wants the government to ban something but if they all succeeded we would end up reading magazines with blank pages and watching only static on television screens”. Many of censorship issues written about in his book mirror the news today – making it highly relevant reading for every American. Award-winning comedian Lewis Black has said the book “brilliantly expresses his ideas with wit, humor and panache.”
