Yes. Well if nothing else, Josh is definitely politically ruined.

You've said a lot of idiotic things in the past but you've usually avoided being mean-spirited.

That one has heaping dollops of both.

Another key word: GOSSIP. Why are so many people so quick to want to jump on the gossip bandwagon?

If any of it is true, it's sad for all involved. If it's not true, the fact that it's been put out there as if it were, means it's still sad for all involved.

Looks like it is not alleged. Josh Duggar admitted the molestation a short while ago and has resigned from the Family Research Council.

In Touch has the 33 page police report on line. It is nauseating, and sad. Just awful. Those poor kids, all of them.

Instead they gave the molester a starring role on their TV show which was full of lies. The parents KNEW they had something horrible going on and they hid it. Money always wins. Innocent kids always lose. Cult-ish fundamentalist beliefs meant Duggar got away with what he did. No punishment. Just sent away for a while to be with other fundamentalists. Then.... a camera following him around promoting him as a role model. And he and his parents cashed the checks.

Michelle Duggar has campaigned against the LGBT community. She's claimed kids were in danger from the LGBT community. The kids who were in danger were under her roof. And she knew it while she promoted hate and bigotry with lies about the LGBT community. Shame on her. Shame on her husband.

Fundamentalism is not healthy for children and other living things.

I understand the outrage (believe me, I do), but IF it's true that the behavior was nipped in the bud AND all the children involved, including Josh Duggar, received counseling, that's a hell of a lot more than happens in a lot of cases.

He didn't receive real therapy and he remained in the home with his victims for years afterward. That is deeply concerning.

This is sad, but not surprising. Christian Fundamentalist and reality show star Josh Duggar, who works for the anti-gay hate group Family Research Counci,l molested his own sisters. What a disgusting, hypocritical dirt bag! And his family too... for covering it up.

Seems like all these big Fundy anti-gay "warriors" have some serious sexual and/or dysfunctional skeletons in their closets. These nuts claim it's the gays who are destroying families? HA! This pig was molesting his sisters!

I have no desires of pedophilia or incest, but then I've had a healthy acceptance of who I am and a healthy attitude about sex. Maybe this is what happens in the Duggar cult when you're raised with such extreme oppression. He probably thought it was better to feel up Sis than to masturbate!
Yep, the FRC will have to find a new anti-gay mascot to peddle their propaganda. Actually when you think about it, The Duggar family created the perfect environment for child molestation and incest. Too many kids and not enough adult supervision. The older children are rising the younger children. Family values my ass. The Duggar parents need to stop counting, and start watching their brood.

We've often disagreed, but this is the first time you've managed to both sicken and disgust me. I will never respect you again.
