WASHINGTON (CBS DC) — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin labeled “Girls” actress Lena Dunham a “pedophile,” saying that while “liberals in the media” attempt to “crucify” the Duggar family, Dunham is given a pass for sexual encounters with her younger sister.

Dunham detailed several sexual encounters with her sister as a child in her memoir, “Not That Kind of Girl.” Dunham describes how she “carefully spread open” her one-year-old sister’s vagina and masturbated next to her as a child. Palin called out Dunham on her Facebook page, writing a scathing comparison between “the intolerant left’s” reaction to the Duggar family’s admission of molestation and Dunham’s.

Palin links to her daughter’s Patheos blog post – “Let’s Get This Straight, Liberals – What Kinds of Molestation are Acceptable?” — to support her accusations of a double standard between the “19 and Counting” Duggar family and Dunham’s sexual encounter with her sister.

“Radical liberals in media who have total control over public narratives are disgusting hypocrites, so says my daughter. Go get ’em, Bristol! Read her post!” writes the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate. “The intolerant left’s destructive personal intrusions and narrow-mindedness applied to their chosen targets are bad enough, but their double standards are beyond the pale.”

Palin said that while she’s not excusing Duggar’s admission to molesting four of his sisters when he was 14, “leftwing” media should criticize Dunham in the same way.

“I’m not defending the Duggar boy’s obvious wrongdoing over a decade ago. The main victim in any story like this isn’t the perpetrator, it’s the innocent ones so harmfully affected. 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. 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,” writes Palin.

Palin quotes Dunham over an image of the actress in which she described the incident with her sister, “I did basically anything a sexual predator would do to woo a small suburban girl.”

“HEY LENA, WHY NOT LAUGH OFF EVERYONE’S SEXUAL ‘EXPERIMENTS’ AS YOU HAUGHTILY ENJOY REWARDS FOR YOUR OWN PERVERSION? YOU PEDOPHILE, YOU,” Palin writes.

Palin continued in the Facebook post, “Such obvious double standards applied to equally relevant stories underestimate the wisdom of the public, discredit the press, and spit on the graves of every American who fought and died for the press’s freedom.”

Bristol Palin wrote on her own blog that Dunham’s details in the memoir about touching her sister, “makes me want to puke.”

“Remember the liberal media outrage?” Bristol writes. “Oh that’s right. It didn’t happen. The liberal media darling Dunham was praised for her ‘honest and witty’ book.”
