Voting for Obama is like losing your virginity?

by In the news Thursday, October 25. 2012

The Obama for America campaign has a new ad out comparing voting for the first time (for Obama) to losing your virginity. The ad features Lena Dunham, who is the creator and star of the HBO series ‘Girls’ – a show that has faced criticism for racism and for having a creative team that throws everything at the wall to see what sticks, including passionless sex, STIs, and casual abortions.

Wikipedia says that Dunham’s father is a painter of “overtly sexualized pop art,” and her mother is a photographer and designer who creates “disquieting domestic tableaux” with dolls.

It’s like watching a Rev. Fred Phelps rally – you think “ok, I get it, somehow, in some weird demented way, this makes some sense to some small group of people. I don’t know who these people are, where they live or what they do. What I do know is that if I go down in a plane crash in the Andes and any substantial number of these people are among those who survive with me, I would pray for death as quickly as possible.”

  LOL.. so you’re going to compare Lena Durham to man, and his group, that protest at military funerals with signs that claim that “God hates fags”? A tad hyperbolic, don’t you think?

    @3H, if you’re going to be a such a droll’n kool-aid drink’n Dem supplicant – please, doodie it over on BlueCoupOregon because your lunacy does not shine so well here, monsewer!
    Capeesh? Ha, your ID is as blah’d and makes about as much as sense #44′s the VPOTUS Joseph stall’n in time. Ugh!

      How many of your posts have been removed as compared to how many of mine have been removed? At the very least we’re tied.

    The idiocy of the reasoning? Sure, Id compare the two. Both are inane.

      How you can compare her comments, as silly as they may be, to the toxic bile that Phelps spews is beyond me. You really think what she said is on the same level as a man, and his group, who deliberately confronts grieving family with signs that their loved one is going to hell because they are gay? Seriously?
      
      Maybe we have different lenses, or different standards. Simply because two things are inane, does not make them equal. There are different levels of inane, and to me the standard is not an absolute, but a spectrum.
      
      You’ve said some pretty inane things yourself, does that put you on the same level as Phelps? Maybe in your book it does, but in my mind, it doesn’t. You should be happy about that.
      
      “…two lesbians getting married are two more women out of the bar crowd that don’t have to waste drinks on before they spring the “I’m gay” line on you.”

  You wouldn’t need to pray. The others would kill you and eat you first about 5 minutes after you opened your mouth and blamed the plane crash on liberals.

3h A tad hyperbolic. no. doesn’t seem like you get it. both are so far out in nutsville we used to call them space cadets.

  And, of course, in your mind that makes them equal. Kinda showing your true colors there my friend. Fortunately most Republicans and conservatives would be able to see the difference.
Truth Is Slippery

Charming. On a par with Obama’s TV ad saying Romney is “Not one of us.” This is what Obama’s “Hope” campaign of 2008 has turned into.

Poor grumpy old white guy conservatives. You are up against a demographic tidal wave that has water up to your waste and rising. You may be able to climb up on an empty chair and make it through another 4 years if Romney squeaks this out, but that will likely be the end of it. Gals like this own the future.

This ad is inappropriate, demeaning, and very sad. It speaks poorly of political candidates and our culture that grandstanding about government-mandated “free” birth control is a campaign strategy to buy women’s votes. It’s baffling that any campaign would want to portray their candidate as analogous to a sweet-talking dude who gets his way with someone’s teenage daughter freshman year. Most women aspire to more in life and love than a one-night stand and a morning-after pill, and we should expect more of our political “relationships” than being treating the same way.

  Oops–being treated the same way.
