1. I'm glad that comforts him.

Now, about criminal prosecution...

[central scrutinizer]

5. statute of limitations has run out

But the old testament god didn't believe in no stinking statute of limitations -

[Johonny]

21. Which raises the question: How is there a statue of limitations on child molestation?

I hope every victim sues is bigoted hate filled hypocritical ass.

[sorefeet]

22. Montana has 10 years after the

molestation as the limit. I know my landlord got 10 years for molesting 2 nieces a step daughter and his own daughter plus 20 probation when he gets out. Only one counted, his daughter, because the statute ran out on the other three.

[catbyte]

36. I doubt that his sisters will sue his ass. They've been brought up to believe that the

"men folk" are the masters and are to be protected at any cost. The chattel, er...girls...not so much. It's despicable. Even worse, he's got daughters of his own now, and pedophiles don't change.

[SunSeeker]

47. You got that right.

Pedophiles never change. They may get old and less active, but they don't change.

62. Funniest home schooling video ever

The Duggars home school their kids. This is the funniest home schooling video I have ever seen. Whenever I hear the home schooling topic, I can't help not thinking about this video.

[KansDem]

2. So God has given him redemption?

Must not believe Josh would "fare well" in Hell.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

3. wonder what gawd's done for his victims.

Meanwhile, in reality world, we need to take violence against women seriously. Consequences for perpetrators, NO more apologies for male misbehavior, believe and support victims.

[irisblue]

14. ^^this ^^

[erronis]

17. Wonder what his life would be like missing some body parts

In some ways the old ways might be better. If you stole, you lost your hand. Ears, eyes, etc.

I think most of the people that take advantage of children or engage in other involuntary acts should have the offending members separated. I spay/neuter my animals after all.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

44. revenge is very tempting.

I would love to give men who hurt women, or people who hurt animals or kids the revenge they so deserve, honestly....sometimes I really wish I could.

But that leads to too many more negative consequences, including bad effects on your own life. Bad karma.

[libdem4life]

4. Republican Family Values...until they get caught...same old-same old. When will we get to

see him sobbing and begging forgiveness and apologizing...for getting caught? And hey, at least he quit. Seems he still has a couple of morals left, maybe even some shame.

And to think, this irrefutable proof came about accidentally, or not, after many years.

[catbyte]

37. Well, they **say** he quit.

We don't really know for sure. I'm wondering how his daughters are. They're the ones in danger now.

[tclambert]

6. Republican Family Values = Men own women and children.

[silverweb]

13. You beat me to it.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]That's pretty much what I was going to say, except I was going to blame the attitude more on the fundy mindset:

God created women for men, i.e. to dominate, and to use as baby machines and servants. Therefore, the actual "family values" rules only apply to women and children, but men can do pretty much what they want (as long as they don't get caught).

This slime-bucket is only sorry because he's been exposed.

[randys1]

26. And this is not an exaggeration. It is how they think.

[libdem4life]

39. I think the more descriptive term is "chattel". It's an Old English Law that refers to property

that can be moved...and used to include slaves, and earlier women and children...quite literally. It is from this concept that all females and young boys to the age of 12 were owned ... how the woman taking the man's surname began...and chastity belts were arranged.

It's not hard to see how many of these issues continue, in some form or other, to this day. For some women, the Title Ms. and the concept of the hyphenated last name and birth control is a further move away from this deplorable history.

chattel
[chat-l]

noun
1.
Law. a movable article of personal property.
2.
any article of tangible property other than land, buildings, and other things annexed to land.
3.
a slave.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

7. You forgot Rand!

Nothing says small gub'mint libertarian like getting together with a child molester from a fundie group who wants the government to persecute gays.

[freshwest]

10. But we still hear him praised almost daily! n/t

[workinclasszero]

19. Yup, he is the very definition of libertarian

is it not? SMFH

[paleotn]

45. Tribble!!! (nt)

[rhett o rick]

8. k & r. Thanks for posting. nm

[arcane1]

9. Why does being from a large family make him desirable in the first place?

Is it just because he's on TV?

[freshwest]

15. Lewis Black said politicans do that a lot. And FRC is all political.

Black asked a similar question and then answered himself:

"See, his ____ works!" Thus, worthy of attention.

Don't see much different in the adulation of that family and the faux Duck Family gang.

Regarding the television thing. Yeah, they put this stuff out for the terminally bored who eat it like candy. It's cool because it was on teevee!

I imagine a reality show in the future exalting the actions of ISIS and the vapid public will drool:

"Oh, what strong men!" I really do see that in our future, after countenancing all this other BS.



Like that slime bucket. Lights, music, action! It's all good!

Monkey see, monkey do. Play that laugh track and the canned applause and that means we all agree with it. Well, those who haven't turned the damned Evil Eye off, that is.

[benld74]

11. My youngest daughter(13) watches their show,,,

even she said, they seem like nice people,,,.

I saw one episode where Josh was moving the family to D.C. and they were looking at homes. My internal siren went off - WHAT JOB could he have gotten that allows him to purchase a million dollar home??? Based upon his education and experience????


That's the other side of the story as they say

[StevieM]

42. What does your daughter think of them now? How has she reacted to the revelations? (eom)

[Tom Ripley]

12. Reaching is fecundamental

[czarjak]

16. "Jesus, look at those sinners over there"...

Huh, Josh?

[workinclasszero]

18. This should be the new poster for Republican Family Values

Sick purvs, all of them!

[certainot]

20. imagine what rw radio would do for the next 5 yrs if these were

democrats......

we'll do a few stories about it and the MSM will ignore it for the most part but it will fade away soon.

not so in the other case.

[durablend]

32. Oh no worries

Somehow they'll find an excuse how Obama or "teh evul demoncrats" are behind all of this.

[ailsagirl]

43. The repukes will just spin, spin, spin, this

same as they always do.

Remember, to them the truth is irrelevant

[Yavin4]

23. Religion gives license to the psychos to committ psychotic acts

Because God said that it was okay.

[libdem4life]

40. or perhaps just a cover, when caught, to claim "forgiveness" you know, born again, saved, whatever.

[3catwoman3]

24. According to a long-ago colleague of mine who converted from Catholicism to Judaism...

...it doesn't matter one damn bit if god forgives you. It matters if the people you harmed forgive you. So there, Jeb!

This god forgives me stuff seems like a way too easy way out. Especially for repeat offenders

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

25. God talked to him and told him he was redeemed?

Why would God want to talk to this obscene person?

[Plucketeer]

29. God is....

the "get-out-of-anything-free" card. Swindle somebody - God forgives you. Kill somebody? - God forgives you - Molest some innocent sorts - God forgives you. Hell - there's even Gods that REWARD you for doing some of the aforementioned things.
Makes you wonder just WHY we bother with laws and punishments if the ULTIMATE power just wipes your rap sheet clean when you ask him to!

I may just have to start attending some house of worship. Just as soon as I review them all to see who gives the best return for my worship! I mean - 72 virgins might sound like fun if I were younger. But at my age it just sounds like a really arduous task!

[libdem4life]

41. Well put.

[calimary]

59. I remember dubya saying that at one point. "Ah'm fergivven!"

This really makes me uncomfortable. I believe in a loving and forgiving God. But what I DO NOT believe is that this just gives you a blanket free pass. Murder someone? "Oh, I'M FORGIVEN!" Cheat somebody and steal from them? "Oh, I'M FORGIVEN!!" Screw somebody over? "Oh, I'M FORGIVEN!!!" Do whatever-the-fuck you want to hurt or violate or otherwise fuck over your fellow man but it's all okay because you're already forgiven. THAT is what it's turned into.

NO, george w. dry-drunk. YOU ARE NOT forgiven. No josh Bugger (OOPS I mean Duggar), YOU are NOT forgiven. NO YOU DO NOT get some Heavenly free pass.

If we're all forgiven, then why is there presumably a Hell? Where is the punishment and accountability for crimes committed against one's fellow man? Oh, I guess that's really just not needed. Because yer already fergivven!

[Efilroft Sul]

27. And to think I had a post erased for calling this guy "crotch fruit."

Admit it, whoever alerted on me months back, I had his number and his family's number.

[father founding]

28. God doesn't have a statute of limitations

God forgives him ? Only time will tell. I thought incest was a crime, wheres the jail time ?

[Cryptoad]

35. I like that part aboiut,,,,

reaping those seeds you sow!

[merrily]

50. The incest aspect was certainly downplayed in early reports.

Minor sexually assaulting minor girls. It could have been a couple of 15 year olds petting.

[samsingh]

30. each of these repugs are palling around with a child molestor

did they know about this molestation history? if not why not? if they did, why didn't they stop seeing him?

do they approve of molesting children?

[calimary]

53. Remember - "Palling around with teerrrrrrrrrists?"

From what I've read, seems like a lot of this was pushed under the rug so the Breeders could go on teeeeveeee and become rich and famous and role models for reckless overbreeding. I have to wonder about the family patriarch - what drove him to keep knocking up that unfortunate woman he married? What kind of ridiculous overcompensation do we have here? And WHY do we have a family like this glorified and held up as some sort of role models? Obviously this guy never heard of ZPG!

Whenever I see magazines with the Breeders (sorry, but that's what I've thought they were from the beginning - I've never been enthralled by this kind of family) or the "Teen Moms" on the cover, I just want to run in the opposite direction! Confession: I LOVE some of those trashy magazines. They're silly and fun, celebrity froo-froo. But I refuse to look at, much less buy, any of 'em if they have those subjects on the cover. Seems to me that's just signaling that "hey, you should do this, too! You might get a TV SHOW and become rich and famous!!!!" We saw that with the so-called "Octomom." She birthed all those babies assuming she'd get a TV show and become a star, or at least have that to help her support all those kids. Honestly, WHAT THE HELL WAS SHE THINKING??????? Same thing with that ridiculous "Jon and Kate plus 8" crap. I think that's what started it all. I couldn't be less interested. Seems to me all that does is hold up that kind of reckless overbreeding as a positive example of some sort, and encourages it in others so THEY TOO can get themselves a nice lucrative TV deal.

[samsingh]

55. yes i remember it well

[calimary]

56. I think a case can be made for a label of "Domestic Terrorist" for this bugger (OOPS, I mean Duggar)

guy. Wonder how many of his sisters he molested? Awfully nice of his parents to provide all those easy marks for him, and all under their own comfortable little family roof.

[samsingh]

57. i agree!

[Initech]

31. We need to post this everywhere! Make him the face of "family values".

[calimary]

54. YES. YES WE DO. We need to LAMINATE that whole buggers (OOOPS I mean Duggars) image

to ALL the GOPers.

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. Connect the dots for the public. We HAVE to do that. We can't count on the media to do their jobs, so WE have to do their jobs for them, I'm afraid.

Wish I could recommend this post, and recommend it multiple times, Initech!

[Initech]

64. Hell yes! I'm sick of these self righteous fundamentalists getting away with murder and molestation.

Not to mention other horrifying crimes. Josh Duggar is due for a trip through the criminal justice system, and it needs to be well established that he's the face of family values kooks.

[VA_Jill]

33. Well,

Huckabooby is already defending him. Birds of a feather?

[catbyte]

38. Why not Huckabee? After all, that Dad of the Year raised a son who tortured and hung a dog to death

but got off scot free because dad was Governor at the time. Animal abuse and pedophilia are equally despicable, aberrant behaviors, but it's all good--after all, they were under 18 & God has forgiven them.

[Baitball Blogger]

34. "Good people can do stupid things"

That is a pre-emptive quote, because I'm sure someone on the right will eventually say it.

[SoapBox]

46. And why is this pervert not in jail?

[merrily]

49. Because he was a minor, I guess.

[Nite Owl]

51. Why is everyone

Else who has done this in jail?

They certainly should be but it would seem if he can claim redemption they could also.
These 'family values' cons want the death penalty for even children but this pervert can just continue on as usual? No mercy for anyone else.

[merrily]

48. Perhaps "champion" is not the best choice of words.

[libdem4life]

60. Given the talent of verbosity of aforementioned politicians, isn't Huckabee the only "supporter"

or commentator on their former colleague?

[4lbs]

61. Oooh, yeah, I sure do think God has "redemption" waiting for Josh

God:

"Hey, Josh, you know Lot right? I turned his wife into a pillar of salt for simply looking back at Sodom and Gomorrah. Guess what kind of 'redemption' is waiting for someone who actually participated in a 21st Century version of it?"

[rizlaplus]

63. Those who hide behind the Statute of Limitations tend also

to preach about eternal damnation.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

65. ROFL!!!

[erpowers]

66. Liberals Only Angry Because...

Some of his supporters will claim that Liberals are only angry because he supports family values. I remember when Rush Limbaugh first got caught getting his maid to buy drugs for him. A supporter of Limbaugh wrote to People Magazine and claimed Liberal were only angry at Rush Limbaugh because he supported family values. At the time I was shocked that someone would write that type of response. I guess some of my shock came from feeling Limbaugh's supporter was not making him take responsibility for his actions.
