Lena Dunham and the Crazy Right

I'm just lifting this verbatim from David Waldman's dKos Radio post of the day, because WUT.Oh. My. God.
Yesterday, the FBI arrested a NYPD cop for conspiring to kidnap, cook & eat a woman.
But by the end of the day, conservatives had identified the sign of the coming Apocalypse, and it wasn't this.
It was this:
They live among us, people.
By yesterday evening, Erik Erickson had declared we were living in a fallen, depraved world, destined for the fire.
You should totally trust this team of wacked-out end timers with the nuclear codes, America.
Personally, I love the ad. Funny, smart, and if you can't figure out where it's going in the first ten seconds, you likely deserve to have a fainting couch.
But -- perhaps especially -- since this is an official Obama campaign ad, apparently some folks are getting bent out of shape. The YouTube comments alone are... fascinating.
I was going to idly speculate on what the problem could possibly be, until I remembered that they're afraid of sex, too, and women's sexuality in particular.
Me? I never metaphor I didn't like.
