Sarah Palin and daughter Bristol are late to the game in trying to use Lena Dunham to defend Josh Duggar. By now so many people have realized that the comparison does not hold water that they have stopped trying it. But Sarah and Bristol Palin apparently did not get the memo.
On her Facebook page, Sarah Palin started off with an all-caps tirade aimed at Lena Dunham.
“HEY LENA, WHY NOT LAUGH OFF EVERYONE’S SEXUAL ‘EXPERIMENTS’ AS YOU HAUGHTILY ENJOY REWARDS FOR YOUR OWN PERVERSION? YOU PEDOPHILE, YOU”
“I’m not an apologist for any sexual predator, but I’m sickened that the media gives their chosen ones a pass for any behavior as long as they share their leftwing politics,” Palin wrote. “Case in point, they suggest Lena Dunham’s sexual assault on her sibling is cute, and she’s rewarded for it with fame and fortune. Meanwhile, they crucify another, along with an entire family.”
Bristol Palin had already beat her mother to the punch on her own blog.
“I can’t believe how crazy the media is going over the Duggar family compared to the big fat yawn they gave Lena Dunham when she wrote in her book that she sexually experimented with her sister.”
In an earlier post, Bristol Palin had written about Lena Dunham’s admissions, saying:
“In one particularly unsettling passage, Dunham experimented with her six-year younger sister’s vagina.”
She also said:
“Lena was curious about her toddler sister’s vagina.”
But the devil is in the detail that Bristol Palin and her mother skirted but did not admit to, for to admit it out loud would completely moot their argument:
Lena Dunham was seven years old.
They said her sister was a “toddler” and “six-years-younger,” which sounds shocking. But no one allowed the math into their print. Instead, they used those terms to demonize a seven-year-old as a parallel to Josh Duggar.
Lena Dunham addressed the twisting of her story by Conservatives last year.
The right wing news story that I molested my little sister isn't just LOL- it's really fucking upsetting and disgusting.

And by the way, if you were a little kid and never looked at another little kid's vagina, well, congrats to you.

Usually this is stuff I can ignore but don't demean sufferers, don't twist my words, back the fuck up bros.
