Wingnuts have been losing their collective shit over Lena Dunham’s cheeky video which compares voting for Barack Obama to doing the dirty-dirty for the first time:
Republicans are convinced that it is proof that Barack Obama is coming for your white women. Here’s Breitbrat and racist nitwit Ben Shapiro:
So she chose to do it for the first time with Barack Obama, since he “cares about and understands women.” In fact, he understands them so well that he exploits them for insane commercials comparing losing your virginity with voting. Obama has young daughters. But that didn’t stop him from releasing this commercial. Because this is what Obama thinks of your daughters. This is Obama’s official campaign ad. Paid for with his campaign money. Distributed by his campaign. If this ad were any more demeaning to women—who apparently care only about having sex, if you listen to Lena “You Want To Do It” Dunham—it would be produced by Bill Maher and star Bill Clinton.
Also? President Obama’s closest adviser is clearly Satan — at least according to deputy chair of the Minnesota Republican Party and pearl clutcher Kelly Fenton:
Now here’s the funny part: Turns out that Ronald Reagan was a dirty whore, too! Here he is in 1980:
The Washington Post reported on Nov. 1, 1980, on Reagan’s outreach to blue-collar voters:
What Reagan was trying to do in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio was to harvest usually Democratic blue-collar votes — the consistent target of his personal campaigning in the Great Lakes states. Whenever he is near voters who might possibly be Democrats, Reagan likes to remind them that he came from that side of the political tracks.
On Thursday night, at a working class bar in Bayonne, N.J., Reagan said, “I know what it’s like to pull the Republican lever for the first time, because I used to be a Democrat myself, and I can tell you it only hurts for a minute and then it feels just great.”
HA! Ronald Reagan was a slut!

Damn, you don’t get it. You just don’t get it. It wasn’t the same thing at all. It’s never the same. See, for one thing, Reagan was a Republican, which means he was a serious, responsible fellow who could kid about things like that. It’s O.K. when Republicans are cheeky. When Democrats do the same thing, it’s slutty or sleazy or obscene.
Now, that’s the first thing. The other thing is so blindingly obvious that I can’t believe you didn’t see it: Reagan was white, and Obama is–now, I don’t want to upset anybody here, but Obama is, well, there’s just no good way to say it, he’s black.
And you know how those people are. They only think about sex. Hell, they’re genetically bred from years of living in Africa to, well, after all, there’s a reason people call them “jungle bunnies”: Africa is filled with jungles, and you know how rabbits breed, am I right? So, clearly, none of our white wimmin are safe from the depredations of this “deflowerer-in-chief. He’ll get your daughters, don’t even think he won’t. And the ones he can’t get, well, he has a whole army of well-hung, oversexed black minions all over the country, just waiting to despoil your pure-white virgin daughters.
This “ad” was nothing more than a threat, a warning shot over the bows of our helpless white wimmin. Nothing more. Reagan would never have raped your daughters. He was a Republican, after all. And he was white.

When my love swears that she is made of truth
I do believe her, though I know she lies,
That she might think me some untutor’d youth,
Unlearned in the world’s false subtleties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false speaking tongue:
On both sides thus is simple truth suppress’d.
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
O, love’s best habit is in seeming trust,
And age in love loves not to have years told:
Therefore I lie with her and she with me,
And in our faults by lies we flatter’d be.
