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

Posted on 05/27/2015 11:52:19 AM PDT by Bluewater2015

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.

"The right-wingers obsessively document and chastise her every move. Why are conservatives so threatened by a 29-year-old TV showrunner and author?" Um, we don't and we're not. Really. As for Dunham, view at your own risk!

Why is the LEFT WING so obsessed with her?

I would have no clue who she was if they weren’t reminding us all the time.

Either that or she has one hell of a publicist!

I'm guessing that Amy Zimmerman thinks Dunham's lies and accusations re: her rape story are personal and political freedoms to be lauded?

The question here isn't about 'freedom' personal or political. It is about "skank."

So, she gets some of the attention she so desperately craves and then she whines about it?

It’s easy. Think back on your younger days when you were tanked and it that bar replete with real beer-goggle honeys and then think about that next morning and what you woke up next to. That’s her.

Yet another leftist diatribe that opens with a bald-faced lie.

So its A OK that she ADMITTED to molesting her little sister but Josh Duggar should be hung from the highest tree..they are both the same as far as Im concerned, but heck, Dunham is a liberal loon so she is exempt, just like with Stephen Collins, molests children, 7th Heaven is back on the air

No, she's worse than that. She would post the whole encounter to Instagram.

If she would just lose weight, get a new wardobe, and take a social skills class...then she would be attractive.
