Good riddance to Lena Dunham
NY Post ^ | Nov 27, 2017 | Maureen Callahan

Posted on 11/27/2017 10:26:28 PM PST by Oshkalaboomboom

Lena Dunham may be the first person to fabricate details of her alleged rape, then proclaim all women’s claims need to be believed, and then publicly accuse a young woman of lying about having been raped.

Finally, the star and creator of “Girls” has been exposed as the empty vessel she is.

“Girls” was never the smart, generational criticism Dunham always claimed; really, it was just a smuttier, younger “Sex and the City.” Nor is there as much daylight between Dunham and her shallow, entitled character Hannah Horvath as she’d have us believe.

“I think I might be the voice of a generation,” Hannah tells her parents in the first episode. “Or at least a voice of a generation.”

It was supposed to be a joke, but all too quickly Dunham embraced this notion herself, no doubt emboldened by the real estate afforded her in New York Magazine, the New Yorker and The New York Times. So what if she was a 25-year-old with no real life experience? What she had to say clearly mattered.

Until, that is, Nov. 17, when Dunham and colleague Jenni Konner came to the defense of Murray Miller, a writer on “Girls” accused of rape. A police report had been filed. Yet here came a statement no one asked for, brimming with smug superiority. “While our first instinct is to listen to every woman’s story,” they wrote in part, “our insider knowledge of Murray’s situation makes us confident that sadly this accusation is one of the 3% of assault cases that are misreported every year.”

This is just one of the many problems with Dunham: She speaks, usually unbidden, with complete moral and philosophical authority — until she’s called out online, at which point she furiously and pathetically backpedals.

“Sex and the City” tv series was funny and pretty well written and acted. I’m still in love with Kristin Davis and Kim Catrall (”Porkys”, then Star Trek).

It has some class while all Dunham had was ass.

I would say, no warn her, “Don’t let the door slam you in the ass on the way out. We can’t afford to buy another door that big”.

Expect Lena to have a “Sylvia Plath Moment” sometime in the next few weeks, if this continues. Sylvia Plath was an American Poet active in the late 1950’s who was notorious for staging fake suicides that her husband would rescue her from over and over. One day he did not rescue her, perhaps because she had ‘cried Wolf’ one time too often.

like all fascists of the left (yep you read that right),
she fully believes the laws she wants, apply to YOU and YOU PEOPLE, but the people she knows ‘are different’. thats why her friend didnt rape, its different, thats why you have whoppi saying things as ridiculous before its not rape rape. that is how a liberal excuses who they know or like. they are all like this. we know what dunham was and is, for a lot of the maroons on the web who didnt, this is a shock. its not to us. if you are hoping this will change any of them, i have a bridge to sell you...wont happen. they are libs, they dont think like a rational person. its all emotions for them. has any liberal shouting with the #metoo realised the posting of assault info has ruined any chance of these rapists getting arrested? oh yeah we will have the stalin like show trials for weinstein and maybe the other gay actor but all the others...nope aint gonna happen. any 2 bit lawyer will roll out the ‘my client cant get a fair trial because...’. has any lib asked, maybe this isnt true in all cases (its kinda why we have a legal system is it not?). even a deplorable character like weinstein deserves his day in court. what we have here is a modern lynching..on twitter. the feeding frenzy to lynch (after all thats what libs always do, see KKK as a democrat invention for example) will continue until a bright shiny ‘thing’ will draw their attention somewhere else.

look at clinton, has any liberal said to you all these years later...you know you were right about his behavior and i was wrong..no? i didnt think so. they brush that fact away and ignore. now and again the fake wall collapses and they are shown for what they truly are...and dunham has just been exposed. she will do what weinstein tried to do in the near future, blame the NRA or some other hated group and weasel her way back in, but she has done a lot fo damage to herself here. dont be surprised if she throws her friend under the bus, kinda surprised that hasnt happened yet. after all thats what friends on the left are for, furthering yourself until then become a hindrance...see clinton as an example.

Sex and the City was written by homosexuals who imagined what they would say and act if they were actually women. It was one of the most vile and disgusting shows on TV.

Calling that lard bucket “an empty vessel “ seems counter intuitive.

“Lena Dunham may be the first person to fabricate details of her alleged rape, then proclaim all women’s claims need to be believed, and then publicly accuse a young woman of lying about having been raped.”

According to Hannity, women do not and can not lie about being raped. He keeps asking, do women lie about that (when talking about Moore) and the answer left hanging out there is that they don’t.

Anyone remember the runaway bride. In 2015, Jennifer Carol Wilbanks ran away from home in Duluth, Georgia to avoid her wedding. She claimed she had been kidnapped and sexually assaulted by a Hispanic and a white woman.
She lied. Hannity interviewed her and believed her.

Clinton was a Left Leader. As such he could do no wrong. Obama was, probably still is, a Left Leader and as such can do no wrong. Whatever makes the life of the Leader better is Correct.

Hannity has to keep his advertisers happy. That is his first loyalty.
