A tame but amusing Obama ad featuring "Girls" star Lena Dunham offering some mildly innuendo-laden commentary about making one's "first time" voting memorable and being sure it's with the right man has unsurprisingly caused the moral scolds on the Right Wing to go apoplectic because... Sex!

At the New Civil Rights movement , bloggers grabbed a screencap of conservatives on Twitter immediately crying out in shock and horror, calling it the "height of vulgarity." Seriously. Eric Erickson even cited the ad as evidence that we live in a "fallen and depraved world destined for the fire."

Okay then.

Maybe this revelation is an incredibly damning moment for the Obama campaign, or actually not. Perhaps the similarity in ads arises because, Dunham's charming delivery aside, the "first time" joke is an incredibly obvious joke to make--at least for those of us who are "destined for the fire" anyway. ....................(more)

1. The RW unfailingly equates sex with immorality.

They need a lesson. Barack the vote! GObama!

4. Wow the right wing blogs REALLY influenced the traffic on the youtube page of the ad.

As of right now ~10k likes, ~13k dislikes, top comments:

I remember my first time, I voted for Ronald Reagan. (~2000 likes)

She literally was talking about nothing. (~1600 likes)

5. Thursday night I heard a right wing radio host named Inga Barks complaining about this ad.

Basically calling Dunham a slut and "Girls" a D-grade version of "Sex and the City".

6. Never seen her before, but she is charming.

What a great ad. Knowing they hate it made me smile.
