Hollywood has trotted out celebrity after celebrity to back Barack Obama. But none has had a greater impact on the presidential race than Lena Dunham, creator and star of HBO’s repulsive Girls. Dunham cut an ad for Obama in which she likened voting for the first time to losing one’s virginity. “Your first time shouldn’t be with just anybody,” she cooed to the camera. “You want to do it with a great guy. It should be with a guy … who really cares about and understands women.”
And who is that cherished lover?
Why, it’s Barack Obama, of course! As Dunham describes Obama, “A guy who cares about whether you get health insurance, and specifically whether you get birth control. The consequences are huge. You want to do it with a guy who brought the troops out of Iraq. You don’t want a guy who says, ‘Oh hey, I’m at the library studying,’ when he’s really out not signing the Lilly Ledbetter Act.” And most importantly of all, Dunham says you don’t want to be caught still being a voting virgin after the election: “it’s super uncool to be out and about and someone says, “Did you vote,’ and ‘No, I didn’t vote, I wasn’t ready.’”
Dunham is widely perceived in Hollywood as the voice of her generation. Which is to say, my generation. To which I say, paraphrasing Ronald Reagan, I’ll sell my bonds.
But this is how the Obama campaign – and the left – views young people. We’re a bunch of sex-obsessed morons who don’t care about the economy. We don’t care about the future of the country. All we care about is condoms now, abortion later, and sexual freedom forever.
But that’s not us. That’s our parents.
The truth is that my generation does care about the economy. Half of us graduate from college without jobs to go to. More and more of us pile up hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to get degrees in useless majors. Our college choices are rarely geared toward our future careers. We know that our taxes will be jacked up to pay for our parents’ and grandparents’ Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid payments. And we know that by the time we hit our parents’ age, the chances of us receiving those social welfare benefits are slim and none.
If we’re not getting married at the same rate as our grandparents, that’s our parents’ fault. Back in 1960, 72 percent of all adults were married; by 2010, it was down to 51 percent. Overall, 6.8 out of every 1,000 members of the US population get married each year. In 1960, that number was 8.5. That’s a substantial decline – but that number really began to decline steadily in approximately 1970. Our parents thought marriage was taboo; they celebrated sexual profligacy. That’s why so many more middle-aged women seem to care about abortion than younger women. Polls show that 59 percent of people aged 18-34 want serious restrictions on abortion; 58 percent of those aged 35-54 say they don’t want serious restrictions. In other words, older people are more concerned with sex, abortion, and the rest of the Democratic social agenda than young people.
The truth is that Lena Dunham isn’t speaking to people of my generation. She’s speaking to post-menopausal women who spent their youths annoyed that they didn’t go to Woodstock, then got married, divorced, and married again – and now vote liberal to maintain a ghostly connection with the good old days they have otherwise severed in their conspicuous consumption. There are few young adults seriously concerned about the availability of condoms. Kids in college know that free condoms are just a dorm resident advisor away. These scare tactics simply don’t work.
And we’re not dumb enough to mistake sex for voting, either. Only our parents, who coined the notion that the personal is political, would make such an idiotic mistake. And only our parents worship politicians to the extent necessary to make decisions based on fantasies of which candidate they’d like to sleep with.

Obama is gay. Research the murder of his former lover Donald Young and other homosexuals in Obama's. If you don't know about his gay "past" then the black ops teams are doing a good job. Breitbart was not the only one who threatened to expose Obama's secrets and conveniently died.
From what I understand, President Stinky (BO) was VERY popular with the brothers in the back seat of cars. He liked to snort cocaine off the members of his "bros" on the "down low". He's switched to David Brock from Media Matters now as he needed to cut his cocaine consumption down to a third of his pre-presidential consumption, and little boy David is just the ticket.
well he did admit to cocaine use in the past so this would explain Obama's fried brain cells.
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinteresting. If this is true, if even of a fraction of it is true (I'll reserve judgment but this has caught my attention), I could see some serious coverup being necessary.
But didn't Breitbart die of heart failure due to enlarged heart?
Isn't Obama's Mother's maiden name "Dunham"? weird isn't it. Where did they dig her up from. Marys
This is the most disgusting political ad by the Democrats that I have ever seen in my entire life. What kind of virgin would ever wish to do it for the first time with a married man? Eww! Eww! I’m so disgusted!
It's not as disgusting as the Michael Moore ad that Obama hasn't repudiated, using a 90 year old grandmother who uses vulgar language threatening to do something if Romney wins. That's truly disgusting, vile and so terribly, I don't know I can't even find a word that describes how disgusting it is.
Mary S.
Sex for birth control. How about a love parade for birth control?
That does not only sound like the logic of liberal leftists and liberal progressives but also like the logic of liberal neocons.
"liberal neocons"?
What are those, pray tell? Some sort of mythical creature, like the "fiscal conservative"?
The sad truth is a lot of young people are bombarded with crap in college. Either in regular courses taught by moonbatty professors (Ward Churchill comes to mind), or those that think they're doing themselves a favor by entering gender/ethnic studies. The place is a full brainwashing facility, where you're rinsed in hijacked terminology that was co-opted by the "experts" that the professors rely on for information to infect the students.
I don't know what's in the water some places, but the dumbing down of the schools in general, not just Universities, with political correctness run amok, will naturally tend to overwhelm and entice kids (who, to be fair, may also be parroting their yuppie/hippie parents). What results is a bunch of kids that become pretty much single-issue-style voters, who care not for the economy or other important things, but rather the issues of self-gratification and feelgoodism, with an unhealthy dose of THE RICH MUST PAY.
What a burden lifted for you that you never had to form your own opinion.
Yes, Schlo – because everyone knows that "forming your own opinion" means agreeing lockstep with you and any professors "enlightened" perspective. /sarcasm. Have you ever stopped to wonder if maybe it is YOU who is following someone else's beliefs vis a vis "Jews" as well as so much else going on in the world? Instead of looking at all sides, you merely spout talking points and ideas of ultr-leftists and neo-nazis – and then proclaim, in your singular ignorance, that you are some kind of enlightened thinker – -as you march lock-step beside so many other blind and foolish neo-libs, islamists and the loony left.
Even if that were true, you wouldn't know which professors. By comparison, Mary Sue owes her entire opinion to Glenn Beck.
Apparently you have never heard of Ezra Levant.
I have. He's the libelist from Sun News that paid the big settlement.
pfff hahaha libelist my aft. It had nothing to do with libel. It had to do with ridiculous kangaroo court human rights tribunal garbage. Some whiny lib had his feelings hurt by proxy. It never went to a real court.
"It had to do with ridiculous kangaroo court human rights tribunal garbage."
No, that was the Rachel Neuwirth case.
So you admit there is a kangaroo human rights tribunal.
Half the battle won. Now it's just talking you past the rest of your rhetoric.
Well to be fair, the human rights tribunal in question is in Canada.
Apparently you use Wikipedia and have never heard of the Richard Warman case. The so called "libel" stemmed from that.
And you owe your entire opinion to your Iranian paymasters.
Yes well we know that you took the shortbus to school and still lick windows.
It says something very peculiar about you that you get so much of a sense of pride by proclaiming your superiority to people with Down Syndrome. You also threaten people with violence all the time. You also encourage other people to do violence all the time. You are also named after a Kim Possible character. You could not possibly get more absurd.
eh, maybe he thinks mental retardation is the most charitable excuse for your mental dysfunction.
Do you think there is a pakistani rat child in his family?
no, but I think there's a hamster wheel in his brain and the hamster is dead.
Trying to pose as holier-than-thou, troll? It won't fly here.
except that I did? It's the moonbats that never formed their own opinion. They are the ones that uncritically accepted the BS they were taught, ate that crap up with a spoon, and regurgitate it on cue.
My opinions are based on corroboration, not purple koolaid, mkay.
Says the paid Jew-hating troll-scum.
Did you say that in your best Pokemon shirt?
Are you allowed your friendly kitty toys at work Schlo?
I guess college today is different from when I was in college. Back then, we took pride in questioning the validity of what we were being taught. There were major defects in that attitude too, but at least there was an atmosphere of questioning instead of just soaking up the propaganda.
Did you discover that "tastes great" really was false but "less filling" was quod erat demonstrandum?
So many words, so much dribble.
college even 20 years ago was never about questioning validity of things in their entirety. Only about questioning the validity of certain things (such as right-wing viewpoints, traditional judeo-christian values, etc.). Everything else was sacred and unquestionable.
Basically,many of Schlomotion's opinions are based on "Mein Kampf,"not reality.
Pretty much, yeah. He's also confessed that he's paid to be here. By whom, I wonder?
Trista Parsi trolls are very busy here, and he's shared things with them.
Whether Trista actually signs the checks, I'm not sure.
But they do coordinate together.

You still haven't learned to spell "Trita Parsi"?
Al JAzeera is a better source than you.
You should have your boss contact them if they got it wrong.

That is a really good resource you linked. It shows a total of one result when searching for "trista parsi". It does show over 200 results when searching for "trita parsi". Thanks for clearing that up. http://www.aljazeera.com/Services/Search/?q=trita…
Surprising "Trista" even spelled it wrong on his own website. http://www.tritaparsi.com/
Oh well, I'm sure you know how to spell his name better than he does.
alinsky hero? Someone actually chose a username that means they think alinksi is a hero? Man there's something wrong with that person. Alinsky is evil incarnate.
See? I think I made my point.
just a example of the stupidity of some young people, how they drink the kool aid and believe a liar and a sociallist
Barack Obama–never had a girlfriend before Michelle–he doesn't even like women!
Well in his own (lying/forgot who what when where how why) autobiography, he had a lot of composite girlfriends! At least one came out and said hey wait what he said in the book didn't happen.
Everyone has missed the irony and coincidence that Lena shares the same last name as Stanley Ann Dunham, BHO's mother. Look what happened to the senior Dunham girl, Stanley Ann, with her first sexual experience. She picked a randy old Commie in his mid 50's with a camera which doesn't lie. Joel Gilbert had run down all the photos taken before Christmas 1960. Her reckless sex has almost destroyed the USA.
If only the elder Dunham had available to her the same procedures that are touted (and paid for by us) by the Obama administration. A partial birth abortion sometime in the last week of July / first few days of August in 1961, would have been just what he needed. The future Barry Sotero could be brought from the future to watch, and then, in Back to the Future style, feel his disgusting sack of filth self fade away as the young Stinky (BO) draws his last breath, only to be tossed onto a trash heap! Oh what a wonderful world it could have been!!
whow, it's also the same lastname as Jeff Dunham.
Puppets they are, I say. Puppets!
I believe I mentioned it in a previous thread regarding this video.
But yeah, you have a point there…
Leave it to Obama and the Democrats to revile and reveal their true selves. Absolutely disgusting, skullduggery at it's best. You don't deserve another 4 years.
Enter text right here Lena Dunham, any relation to (Stanley) Ann Dunham?
Lena Dunham…any relation to (Stanley) Ann Dunham?
probably distantly if at all, since Ann was an only child, so maybe a far off cousin.
OBAMA, WITH HIS SMILE, CHOOM, AND COKE could talk the pants off of anyone, man or woman.
Yea, have sex with Barack and he'll get you pregnant and when you tell him he'll say "Is it mine?" Now you go for an abortion since you planned a trip to Paris, or your class reunion was coming up, and being pregnant would ruin it all. Or if you had morals, which most liberals don't, you keep the child who is fatherless which is common in the Black community. Barack, a millionaire, will skip out on child support which is common practice of not helping family.
WHAT IS OBAMA'S OBSESSION WITH SEX? Birth control. Gay unions. Don't ask don't tell. My suspicion is that he's gay and since he was bi-sexual, HE HAS A FEW KIDS OUT THERE AND SOME OF THE WOMEN HAD ABORTIONS!
He'll say, "I don't want you to be punished with a baby"
Stanley Ann Dunham's baby is a punishment to our country. Project much, Mr. President?
My oh my, you people are just as sick as Shapiro . You folks bring new meaning to the word desperate .
So, you think this ad is…..what? It is pretty stupid and indicative of "the left" and neo-libs and their world-view, isn't it?
oh please take a f—kin' aspirin . Ifyou didn't watch the garbage on HBO you wouldn't even know who she is ….I've never heard of hear . TV's a vast wasteland -ever hear that before dumbo ?
Suuure you haven't. And that isn't the point, as you well know.
You bring new meaning to the words "moronic troll."
go get a room with jojojams moron .
Do you always realize you don't have a chance discussing the issues seriously?
Says the amusing union slug with the union label kneepads.
Lena Dunham is considered to be "the voice of her generation?" Wow, that's pretty heavy. I never heard of her before this "vote like it's your first lay" thingie.
Generation of degeneration.
I'm amazed she actually makes human sounds.
Future archeologists will be puzzled.
P.S. dear FP, maybe enough with visuals, my brain cell is inflamed.
Do you think that Bill Clinton gave her this idea?
Well considering that kid would have been in elementary and middle school when Clinton was in office, as a young skull full of mush I bet she was definitely inspired by him and Lewinsky.
No doubt women have a different view on the subject, but for me and most of the guys I knew, we'd have shed our virginity with pretty much any woman, skin rash, fat, covered with warts, voted Ugliest Woman of the Decade, with BO, as long as she was willing. The "put a flag over her face and do it for Old Glory" thing was only MOSTLY a joke. For most of my male friends in those days, the epitome of female beauty and desirability was a large "rack."
CNS News Article: "CDC: U.S. Birth Rate Hits All-Time Low; 40.7% of Babies Born to Unmarried Women" http://cnsnews.com/news/article/cdc-us-birth-rate…
No society can endure if it doesn't have children!
You're drawing the wrong conclusion. People definitely are having children. I see evidence of that every week at the local mall. The problem is that the mothers — especially if black and Hispanic — too often don't go by the title "Mrs."
Disgusting ad….but typical of this “administration”……
Second wave feminism was all about sexual liberation; many women artists were complicit in this narrow definition. I laid it out in all my blogs on 1970s feminism, one of which is here, focusing on Lena Dunham and her ultra-progressive education: http://clarespark.com/2012/07/29/girls-or-the-new…. "Girls, or the New Lost Generation." Check out the link to my blog on the sexual revolution.
iT'S ALL ABOUT LABELS.__OBAMA IS INCAPABLE OF DEALING WITH THE ISSUES, HE IS INCOMPETANT, HAS BUILT A CAREER AS THE SOCIALIST UP AND COMING WHO MAY NOT BE QUESTIONED. PRESSED TO THE WALL, HE LIES AND TURNS ON
"THE VIEW" CHARM. HE HAS NEVER RUN A BUSINESS OR EVEN MADE A BUDGET. HE IS LOST.
HE PULLS IN SAD SACKS ON HIS PHONY LABELS – HOPE AND CHANGE- FORWARD- DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN – AND SO ON. ___BECAUSE HE IS INCAPABLE OF ACTUALLY LEADING, OBAMA AND HIS SOCIALIST GOONS CREATED 4 OR 5 LABLES TO WAGE A FAKE WAR WITH AS HIS METHOIDOF CAMPAIGNING._
HERE ARE A FEW:_1. WAR ON WOMEN – REDUCE WHAT A WOMAN IS TO A BLITHERING IDIOT WHO IS ONLY CONCERNED WITH HER SEXUAL ORGANS, IS INCAPABLE OF OTER ISSUES LIKE THE ECONOMY, OR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE OBAMA WOMAN APPARENTLY IS FOCUSED ONLY ON SEX AND ABORTION AND WOULD BE INCAPABLE OF FIGURING THESE OUT WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT'S HELP. IT IS IRONIC THAT THIS LABEL'S MANTRA IS "ROMNEY HAS NO BUSINESS KNOWING ABOUT MY ABORTION OR BIRTH CONTROL" AND YET OBAMACARE WILL IN FACT " KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE OBAMAWOMAN," — THOUSANDS OF NEW IRS AGENTS AND ALL GOVERNMENT ACCESS DIGITAL MEDICAL RECORDS FOR EVERYONE WITH THE WOMAN'S DECISIONS MADE BY GOVERNMENT PANELS. OBAMA'S SOCIALIST PLANS TO CONTROL ALL MEDICAL CARE IS A DISASTER, BUT OBAMA'S WAR ON WOMEN DOESN'T SEEM TO NOTICE THA FACT.
._2. THE RICH ARE THE ENEMY – AMERICAL WAS BUILT ON RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM, FREEDOM TO BUILD, GROW, AND PROSPER. SUCCESS IS A GOOD THING. THE SOCIALISTS USE CLASS WARFAR TO DIVDE US, MAKING THE " GOVERNMENT CONTROLS ALL " OPTION SEEM THE ONLY OPTION LEFT. SINCE WHEN WAS BEING SUCCESSFUL SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF?
_BUT HEY, CLASS WARFARE TO DIVIDE AND USE THE STUPID IN SOCIETY TO GAIN POWER OVER THE GOVERNMENT, AND GOVERNMENT POWER OVER EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE RULING INSIDER LEFIST ELITISTS, WORKED FOR MARX , TROTSKY, AND LENIN. SO WHY NOT DO THAT AGAIN? (OH, OBAMA FORGOT THAT HAS NOT WORKED FOR RUSSIA OR ANY OTHER NATION. WELL THE GRAB OF POWER FOR THE INSIDER ELITISTS WORKS WELL, BUT NOT FOR ANYOE ELSE.) .
OBAMA'S ATTEMPTS TO USE WOMEN IN THIS WAY IS TOTALLY DISGUSTING.
I think Shapiro should now scour the bars on the Lower East Side , get thye opinions of the workinhg girls then come back here andc write another useless editorial , and try to apply THAT to 160 million people in the US .
As for YOU clarespark , your blog , which I have visited is one big incoherent attempt at "doctoral type " term paper written by a college dropout .
On the "college dropout" part of that insult, I'd have to defer to your own expertise.
I suspect that the vast majority of the working girls on the Lower East Side didn't get to pick and choose who their first sexual partner would be. Dad, or mom's latest boyfriend, probably determined that for them at a tender age. Picking your first lover is kind of a bourgeois concept.
I agree on the blog thing.
Why thank you tagalog . We do agree on some things . The working girl thing was a sarcasm , not to be taken literally , but in the vein of their opinion being generalized and relevant no more than Dunham's.
How do you know it was sarcasm? That might me better in the form of a question than a statement.
I think you should grow up, moronic troll.
GFY meatball !
It always comes down to that with the trolls.
Bodily functions.
slurp slurp gurgle gurgle swallow. Good job union slug! Take some seniority out of petty cash.
My first reaction was, 'Who?' Then I realized, oh yeah, I canceled my subscription to Home of Barack Obama (HBO) a long long time ago when I got sick of their Socialist agenda. So it doesn't surprise me there is now some he/she who created a pogrom called "Girl" on that wretched propaganda station that HBO promotes as the "Voice of our Generation"… Hardly…
I'd say less than 10% of our Generation has ever even heard of this "Girl".
As ridiculous as the ad concept clearly is, it does play to a certain voting demographic: People whose juvenile world view is limited to hedonistic pleasure and pop culture entertainment. Beware. Beavis and Butthead live, and they vote. I think Amused can speak to this segment better than I.
Oh how clever Iratus Folio , I can speak to ANY segment better than you . The key here though is determining what a presumption is or is not . Whether a statement made soley for the sake of saying it to assuage a political ideology , has any real meaning or relevance .And since I have concluded that the sole purpose of SHAPIRO'S article , like 99% of the rest of his work , is nothing more than his "Breitbart Trained " art of BLOWING THE DOGWHISTLE ….and look ! the dogs come-a-runnin' and barkin' again , just as expected .
How pathetically predctable .
what is it with you and dog whistles? Were you traumatized by one as a child?
Yeah, I don't get the dog whistle thing. Or much of anything from the Amused One's arsenal of confusing invectives. I doubt Mr. 'A' actually knows what a dog whistle is or how and why it works. But when you're in the blog world you take what you can get–even schoolyard taunts and childish rancor. Hey, I've got a million friends.
the premise of the dog whistle is that it constitutes some sort of "coded language". They didn't start calling it dog whistles until very recently; I can say I have never heard the term before this year. This is the Left assuming that when Republicans say things like "Let's cut taxes" that it's a "dog whistle" that means "[various common racial slurs]. (like Charles Rangel once said).
I believe it's called a "dog whistle" because they claim only certain people know the meaning of the terms that are lumped into "dog whistles", just like dogs can hear high pitched whistles that humans cannot. But if that's the case, how can it BE a dog whistle, if THEY [think they] "understand"/"hear" it?!
The actual Beavis And Butthead, this might go down a little bit differently:
"Uhh…huh-huh-huh, Beavis, did you vote?"
"Uh, nope. Heh-heh. Did you?"
"No. Voting is for losers."
"Heh-heh, yeah, yeah! Losers!" *eats lots of candy from halloween* "I am the great Cornholio! I need TP for my bunghole! Are you threatening me?"
Yours is a much better interpretation of the Mike Judge characters than my comparison. Young liberals, far from being clueless slackers, are actually very much like their mentors–they think they're smarter than the rest of us. Poker players love those kind of suckers at the table.
I've found I can get "inside the head" of various characters and read their motivations.
I've found that the young liberals that think they are smart are the most clueless of all, not simply because they are ignorant like beavis and butthead, but they are WILLFULLY ignorant. They have the ability to research, but choose not to, instead relying on that which they are conditioned to accept as truth.
.
~Barack Obama & the DNC will have phone / text sex, & SCREW any TAX PAYER to stay in office.
.
YUK !
Obama is a socially transmitted disease.
G R O S S. The parody videos of her are hilarious.
I've seen both ads on the news and they're quite stupid. And an insult to anyone's intelligence,not just young people's.
Yea just like Romney doin' his perennial 180 on whether to dismanle FEMA , just like Blimpy Limbaugh commanding his minions to turn off their tv so they wont hear Christ praising Obama …lol….and the Governors of NY and Virginia …..and now Mayor Bloomberg gives his endorsement to Obama .
OK. That was severely out of context and if you actually heard it on the radio instead of getting it second hand from a liar website, you would know this.
He told people who may get scared that their vote won't matter to turn off their TV IF watching all that stuff (polls, etc) might cause them to stay home on voting day.
And Romney said he'd have the states take a bigger role in disaster recovery which is not a bad thing. Better than waiting for the idiot feds, no matter who is in charge.
Have sex with Obama? No thanks, bestiality ain't my bag.
And dont be so quick to write off young people , they're not stupid .They know Hollywood and movies and tv serials are just that [unlike many here ] and it's just entertainment and the people just entertainers and nothing more .For all their worth , you may as well have Daffy Duck making political pitches . I wouldn't take them or Shapiro too seriously .
who said anything about writing off? We don't write off young'ins that show a modicum of common sense, of which ms. dunham has precisely 0.
WE ?? Who is this " WE " , you're not a republican or conservative …….right ? You're just a country bummpkin from up Canada way aint ya ?
And dont air your gripe to me , tell the breitbartian Shapiro who assumes that Dunham holds some position of influence amongst the younger generation .
I guess you " Canadian " are too ignorant o recognize a strawman whe you see one EH ?
we as in us older than 35 folks. Hardly a country bumpkin, fella. There's too many left wing ex hippie nut cases here for that.
However there are plenty of stupid young people. I run into them all the time. And they all vote NDP.
I know perfectly well what a strawman argument is. If you are as well versed in what constitutes a strawman, you would know that the article said HOLLYWOOD thinks she's influential among the younger generation. That's not to say that a percentage of the idiot 20something bracket doesn't also, but it's completely divorced from each other.
I think what this Ad is saying to young voters, If you want to get… s c r e w e d vote for Obama
Everyone is assuming Lena actually remembers her first time. Or that she's straight herself. A drunk lesbian, having the hots for a married bi socialist, is not only the norm for liberals, it's the only norm. Just like Obama's mommy.
