The Right-Wing War on Lena Dunham (Barf and eye-bleach alert!)
The Daily Beast ^ | 5/27/2015 | Amy Zimmerman

The right-wingers obsessively document and chastise her every move. Why are conservatives so threatened by a 29-year-old TV showrunner and author?

In honor of Memorial Day, Lena Dunham Instagrammed herself in a lacy bra and panty set, and captioned the sultry snap, “I think I will wear it to dinner with some boots & a smile because we are all very lucky to be free.”

Dunham clearly presents her exhibitionism as a celebration of personal and political freedoms, but certain fringe elements of the right-wing media have taken the peaceful photo as further evidence of Dunham’s personal war on male retinas, Republican values, and the American dream.

The friendly folks over at Breitbart even took it upon themselves to share the photo on Facebook along with a PSA: “DISCLAIMER: Breitbart News is not responsible for any emotional, spiritual, or psychological damage that might occur as a result of viewing this article.” Because trigger warnings are a liberal tool used to infantilize and over-coddle—unless they’re giving big, strong men ample warning that the nude woman they’re about to ogle and objectify is not a piece of eye candy constructed exclusively out of the world’s most physically arousing, dude-approved lady parts.

I agree. They are wanting to literally kill Josh Duggar (some here too), but they don’t have a problem with Lena Dunham who did the same thing......no call for “Girls” to be cancelled or anything. So annoying. As far as Steven Collins is concern, his situation is he is done with acting forever....7th Heaven may be on but they are repeats and will never have a reunion show or anything like that.

Some people are protected more than others. I still am shocked that NOBODY called for “Girls” to be cancelled or even a company stop advertising. Nothing. So frustrating.

No one has called for Dunham’s HBO show to be canceled either..its because she is a flaming liberal and they can do whatever they want..with Stephen Collins, he is a liberal too, I know his ex wife is a lib too, 7th Heaven was taken off the air but UP TV waited a few months and BAM its back on the air..yes his career is over but he is still making money off of those reruns. You have Lena Dunham writing in her book what she did to her sister and it seems no one cares, so its cool for a liberal to molest her sister and give minute by minute accounts of it but Duggar does the same thing and people want his head on a platter..both are the same as far as Im concerned, both are child molesters
