Hillary Clinton is continuing her efforts to connect with young voters by having actor Lena Dunham campaign on her behalf in Iowa next month.
Dunham, the star and creator of the HBO show Girls, will appear at campaign rallies in Des Moines and Iowa City on 9 January. In an email sent out by the Clinton campaign, a staffer wrote: “Lena’s coming to spend some time with the Hillary for Iowa team, and you could meet her … Just picture the selfie you’ll take together after you talk about how much you both love Hillary and other super-smart feminists you know!”
Clinton previously appeared in an online interview with Dunham in September and also recently filmed a cameo for the Comedy Central show Broad City about two female best friends in their 20s who live in New York.
Dunham, whose HBO show often features her appearances in the nude, has long been vocal about her support for Clinton’s campaign and her ardent advocacy for abortion rights. Dunham even dressed up as a Planned Parenthood doctor for Halloween.
Well as we know Dunham drives the conservatives out of their ever loving minds, in fact Sarah Palin went on rant about her back in June, so this is definitely going to attract a lot of vitriol from the mouth breathers.
But then again they are already so freaked out about Hillary, that in the long run it probably doesn't matter.
After all even if Jesus himself came out in favor of Hillary they would probably nail him to the cross as well.
Too soon?
Women do not want their sons & daughters killed and maimed in Hillary's past, present, and future endless wars.
ReplyDeleteHave you been listening to the GOP candidates advocating for war?
DeleteIf that's the dill,then you'd rather THE Dumpster or grease ball cruz start WW111?
DeleteBristol Palin is too busy preparing for her baby drama to trash Lena this time?
ReplyDeleteWhere is it that Bristol is giving birth to Sailor next week? In Palmer at the Mat-Su? Doesn't Joey's sister work there? Mostly Sarah's friends work there? I can't wait to see the 'normal' mother and baby selfies from the hospital bed. I missed the 'normal' baby shower photos.
Were there any 'normal' pictures of Mother and newborn of any of the Palin births? No? Why, were they ashamed, or were the birth dates fake? Most 'normal' Mothers have pictures taken of them holding the newborn while still in their hospital beds. But that was not possible for the fake Trig birth, and Bristol could not have a picture taken of herself and Tripp, because he was born way before December, 2008. If Bristol was pregnant in 2006, which baby was 'given' that subsequent birthday in 2007? Why are the Palins such horrible liars. Bring it, lol troll, you have nothing. Here is Bristol and faimily in 2006 at 16 years old. Was that pregnancy planned also? Why weren't Sarah and Bristol proud of that pregnancy? Why does Tripp look much older than his assumed age now?

Well, I'm as liberal as it's possible to be. And I think Lena Dunham is a massively egotistical creep whose need to shock people makes her a very poor representative. I thought the Obamas were nuts to allow their underage daughter to work on her gross show, and I think Hillary is nuts to associate with her. Lena Dunham is only in it for herself.
ReplyDeleteI think you have overlooked how all the GOP presidential candidates are only for themselves - along with that egotistical, narcisistic creep who was the vp candidate with McCain in 2008. I'm as liberal as it's possible to be, too; in addition, I'm a 68 year old female.
DeleteIt's amazing to read, or hear, the results of the 'fact checking' that was done on comments made by the Republican candidates during their last debate. Many stated things incorrectly and many lies were noted! The majority of them came across as nothing more than war mongers, anti government and anti President Obama!!
DeleteTheir party is truly a joke - most especially being headed by the jerk Donald Trump!
Can hardly wait to see Hillary Clinton sworn in as POTUS in 2016.
5:48, I'm 63 and female, a registered Democrat who cast her first vote for George McGovern, voted for Hillary Clinton in my state's 2008 primary, and voted twice for President Obama. So there is no need to condescend to me. I follow politics closely, and I'm well aware of how utterly foul all the Republican candidates are, so your supposition is way off. That doesn't mean I give "my side" a pass for what I perceive as the same thing. I think Lena Dunham is foul of her own accord, based on her own words and actions. The creepiness of the Republican candidates does not mitigate to me Lena Dunham's creepiness, and her inappropriateness as a campaigner for Hillary Clinton.
Delete5:20 AM
Lena is such a dubious advocate.
Delete5:20 AM
DeleteI am a Republican and a conservative and I like Josh Duggar and think he is Sailor's dad and my opinion matters the most. Even if I lie about being whatever. I only say it to sound like crappy bullshit and to impress no one with how dumb we like 520 are.
The Right Wing gets apoplectic any time President Clinton even says something nice about her. 2016 is going to be a great year for Hillary. Imagine the firepower of the Obamas and the Bidens and Bill Clinton. Resistance would be futile.
ReplyDeleteRemember! The Republicans were sure that Obama was not going to be elected POTUS the FIRST time and did everything they could to stop his reelection for the second term. Republicans lost BOTH times and still haven't gotten over it!
DeleteTheir party is a mess and we will see Hillary Clinton elected in 2016.
The Republican have no one in all their 15 candidates that are as capable as Hillary Clinton. Most especially The Donald who is nothing more than a loud-mouth bully with a horrid personality and demeanor.
Plus, he's physically unattractive and appears to have no muscle tone anywhere in his massive body.
And, don't forget he has said he likes Sarah Palin! Good god almighty! She will be the 'kiss of death' to his campaign which is good, good, good!
If folks watched the Republican debate, they were mortified at their stupidity!
"Fact Checking" commentary afterwards truly disclosed their idiocy and misstatements while debating!
Maybe Lena Duman, of Girls, can ask Hillary how she can say things like, all women who claim they have been raped should be believed, but then turns a blind eye to women who have accused her husband of the same.
ReplyDeleteYou really need to get a new shtick. You are getting tiresome, troll.
DeleteBill Clinton didn't rape anyone and even if he did, Hillary isn't responsible. Just stfu.
DeleteOh these are great! Classic responses from Hillary sycophants! So Hillary, supposed champion of women & women's rights, top dog of the supposed women's rights party, is in no way responsible for her actions over the years to silence-disparage-humiliate-pay off-threaten-discard- the women who have accused her husband of sexual assault, all to maintain the Clinton dynasty, the Clinton machine. Classic.
DeleteClassic rebuttal from the one track minded troll.
DeleteI once knew a guy that could never address anything in a direst manner. It was always like the ....but Bill Clinton nonsense. He would thrown in Nero burning Rome and was nearly as shallow and desperate as the guest troll that can't leave IM.
DeleteHey meghan, do you know what 'irony' means? That would be Hillary and all her women's rights supporters.
DeleteCould you put up the link that reports the arrest, trial and conviction of Bill for rape. I'd like to read that. I seemed to have missed it.
DeleteWell that is really just it, isn't it 9:38? The rich and powerful and connected are often beyond the long reach of the law. But Bill does have quite a list of women, much like Bill Cosby does, going back decades. Like Clinton, Cosby hasn't been on trial or arrested either. Yet most around here have already convicted him as a sexual predator/rapist based on his list of women, Gryph included. Hypocrisy much?
DeleteLet us not forget that even as president, Clinton was only the 2nd president ever impeached, and it was for lying about having sex with a young intern in the WH. Even decades after the first accusations came out, some claiming sexual abuse, Bill was still bold enough to screw an intern in the WH.
Let me ask you this, forget names or actual people. Who is a worse person.... Someone that (A) fakes a pregnancy- for personal gain, or (B) Covers for a sexual predator for decades, potentially resulting in countless other sexual assault victims- for personal gain.
No names, but A or B, who is the worse person?
So 6:21 says, even if Bill raped women, "Hillary isn't responsible".
Interesting.
What do old people know? Who will get out to vote? Sarah has the power and the votes. She was on top of it all and figured out it would be the young voters that make a difference. Sure she took on Lena Dunham. Her daughter Bristol Palin was perfect with her life as a hard working single mother. She is someone young millennials can relate to. Sarah was smart enough to know that.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think Donald Trump loves to have Sarah beside him and boosting his popularity in the polls?
Sheeeesh!! You people don't get it.
$arah Quitter Paylin has power and votes?
DeleteHave you completely lost whatever single brain cell is left inside your cranial cavity?
Palin is a failed, quitter, defeated, narcissistic idiot who's only claim to fame now is sniffing around real candidates for office.
Bristol the two time pregnant abstinence Queen is PERFECT???? WTF are you smoking?
WE PEOPLE do get it, and Donald Trump is never going to be President.
Cannot stand Lena Dunham. No talent hack.
ReplyDeleteShe is not my generation, but I get it that her peers get her. She is a hard worker and not a fraud like some of her critics.
DeleteLiterally the most desperate move from Clinton thus far. That email she sent out regarding this Dunham visit sounds like it was written by a thirteen-year-old. And by the way, if she thinks this is going to help secure the young vote, she is sorely mistaken: outside of a few people who find that ridiculous show to be an adequate reflection of the millennial generation and a few hardcore "feminists" who believe every man is a rapist, Dunham is universally loathed by young people. So, nice try, but the millennial vote is still certainly going to Bernie. Oh, and if you are complaining about that, then you're probably the same people who were complaining when we didn't come out to vote in the midterms and in the general in 2012. As a feminist (though not an extreme "feminist" like I just described), a liberal, and a millennial, I can tell you that I would not vote for a woman just because she is a woman, and as a teacher of millennials, I can tell you that most of my students won't, either. Nor will my friends. Nor, apparently, will the droves of young people I've seen posting about Bernie on Facebook. Keep dreaming about Clinton, though, y'all. At least he's not zombie-walking, dragging one leg behind him, stooped over, because he's weighted down so heavily with years upon years of scandalous baggage like Clinton is :) :) Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteBank on Bristol. She is the sure fire way to get that millennial vote.
DeleteShilary for Corporate America, Sanders is for the American People!
ReplyDeleteHilary is war Hawk!
Certainly no fan of Dunham or her edgy show.
DeleteHIllary has baggage yes, and too much of an establishment insider for my liking, but I will take Hillary and day over:
Fanatic Christian Jihad Crusader Ted Cruz
Racist, Idiot, Male version of $tupid Palin, Donald trump
Jeb Force women to die instead of abortions Bush
Marco, philanderer and Koch brother Shill Rubio.
Carly, fired, failed CEO lying harpy Fiorina
Ben, had-too-many-strokes Pyramid theorist Carson
Sort of OT, regarding Hollywood and millennial minions.
ReplyDeleteKeep an eye on these Brand Sarah workers.
Isn't that Ryan Bender at the Oak Tree Gun Club in California? I know the Bender's work for Sarah. They are like her "Brown Shirts" for her crypto-fascist persona. You can find them all over the place for Bristol, also, too. I think they are originally from California.
The Palins had a deal they couldn't refuse and one or both of them moved to Alaska to work for the Palin organization.

They must be in on the Trig birth story since they have been so near and dear from the early days.
I know they were there for the move to DWTS California. Bristol lied about driving her truck to Hollywood when they were writing that part of her mythical strong independent worker propaganda.
It was actually a Bender that helped with that Bristol lie and he covers up for her. I bet he changes diapers for any extra babies she has had to hide. It was a Bender that drove Bristol's truck to Hollywood to perpetrate that part of that fraud.
There are two Bender brothers. I get them mixed up. But they are both part of the fraud and cover ups for years.
Keep your eyes and ears open. They have the beans and more.
Bristol's extra babies are most likely "adopted out" to her native family in Dillingham. It's part of their culture taking unwanted or broken babies and raising the within the native community.
DeleteFeel the Bern!!!
ReplyDeleteThe progressive political advocacy group Democracy for America backed Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-Vt.) Democratic presidential bid on Thursday, in the organization's first presidential primary endorsement since former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (D) founded it in 2004.
Sanders earned the endorsement after receiving 87.9 percent of the 271,527 votes cast by DFA members nationwide over a nine-day voting period. No Democratic candidate was able to clear the 66.7 percent supermajority needed to earn the DFA endorsement ahead of the 2008 presidential election.

I'm not a fan of Dunham although I am 50 years old so I really don't "get her". What she does to me is make me very uncomfortable with her unattractiveness and I know that makes me shallow but really, I don't want to watch ugly fat people on TV and if that makes me a bad person so be it. Her brashness regarding her lack of beauty and overweight body seems to me to be more a defense mechanism rather than a true acceptance of her lack of physical beauty.
ReplyDeleteShe's repulsive, so ugly inside as out.
DeleteCan't wait for Chelsea to hit the road with her mom. The right's heads are going to explode even worse than those who despise Lena Dunham.
ReplyDeleteIf it were found out that Hillary Rodham had several lost years in which her friends and family had not seen or heard from her and it was later discovered that she had been living under the assumed name "Robot Flower Sister" at the Spahn Movie Ranch with the Manson Family and was in charge of rationing out the acid, she would still be more qualified by light years to be President of the United States than any of the laughably pandering, platitude spouting, fact ignoring, science denying snake oil salesmen the Republican Party is trotting out. There is not a single one of them who could debate her, they would be laughed off the dias. She's the smartest fucker in every room she's in, even when Bill Clinton is there. Good luck assholes, you're gonna need it.
ReplyDeleteGreat comment!
DeleteExhibit 'A' Hillary panty sniffer ^^.
