Josh Duggar Releases Very Political ‘Thanksgiving’ Message — Ambitious Or Just Weird? [Video]

Josh Duggar released a video with his “Thanksgiving” message, but it quickly turned very political, leaving some believing that he is becoming politically ambitious, and others thinking he’s just weird.

Josh, the eldest of the Duggar brood from the popular TLC show 19 Kids and Counting, does begin the video by extending his Thanksgiving wishes to everyone, but quickly launches into his role as the executive director of the Family Research Council Action in Washington, D.C. The FRC is listed as a certified hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC justifies their position on their website.

[Morgana]

I take it that the left really does not like this family.

[newfreep]

"...executive director of the Family Research Council..."

That's a very positive qualification...and another reason the leftist kooks (sorry for being redundant) hate this gamily. They simply hate anything or anyone that is good.

[PROCON]

Yes, the Duggars have exceeded the Marxist policy of only 1 or 2 transgendered children. Plus they're openly Christian and probably make their children handle snakes and all that other right-wing wacko church stuff.

19 Kids and Counting is a wonderful, wholesome show and the libs hate them.

"the FRC is listed as a certified hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center . . ."

With that endorsement, the FRC should be most proud!

"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"

This is the Arabic character "nun" – the first letter of the word "Nazarene." I post it as my avatar in solidarity with people of all faiths suffering persecution at the hands of Islam. Many of them are members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, dating from the days of the Apostles. They endure cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors they, and we, are all "Nazarenes."

I don't need to do any additional research to know that the group must have some redeeming characteristics if the SPLC is attacking them.

[Morgana]

I really hate to ask but, could you give me some insight into the Southern Poverty Law Center? I’ve heard the name but not really sure what they are. Thanks.

Next time someone says that FRC is a hate group I’ll go FULL ON FLOYD LEE CORKINS ON THEM!!!

[butterdezillion]

They’re basically a terrorist orqanization posinq as a “civil riqhts” orqanization. Their vitriol aqainst the Family Research Council (IIRC, I miqht be mixinq up the names) led to a leftist attackinq (and killinq?) someone from that orqanization.

The SPLC was cited as a “trusted source” for naminq who is terrorist, and on the basis of the SPLC’s claims aqainst Christian qroups, the DOD forbade soldiers to be involved in some Christian activities, IIRC. It’s been a lonq time since I read about that and my memory is sometimes not so qood so you’ll want to double-check all this - and hopefully somebody else will come in with links. But that’s a place to start.

Basically this is a liberal qroup that attacks non-liberal qroups, but because they call themselves a “civil riqhts orqaniztion”, they somehow manaqe to claim credibility, much like CAIR.

Sounds like he may be planning a run for Congress. If he is then so what?

[ConorMacNessa]

They're a left-wing "pro bono civil rights" law firm. Among the many on their hate list:

Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute - (C-FAM) - Anti-LGBT
Family Research Council - Anti-LGBT
Federation for American Immigration Reform - Anti-Immigrant
Traditional Values Coalition - Anti-LGBT
Catholic Counterpoint - Radical Traditional Catholicism

Many others across the spectrum. To be fair, Black Panthers and other like groups are also on the list, but I don't see any more than lip service addressed by SLC in response to their genuine hatred, in contrast to the constant vitriol SPLC spouts against the genuine concerns over social issues advanced by conservatives.

“The FRC is listed as a certified hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.”

Then by definition that makes the SPLC a certified hate group.

[Albion Wilde]

Southern Poverty Law Center, per David Horowitz's site that catalogs leftists and leftist organizations, DiscovertheNetworks.org

[madprof98]

. . . a certified hate group . . .

That is a certification I would be proud to display.

[JSDude1]

Nope, the message is fine.

The Pinkos at SPLC are "certifiable."

(The FRC is listed as a certified hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.)

That’s good enough for me to know that it’s a real Christian organization, as I consider the Southern Poverty Law Center to be a bigoted anti-Christian hate organization.

[PAR35]

A batch of anti-Christian left wingers who started out battling the Klan to establish credibility, but who now pretty much oppose all that is good and decent. Founded by Morris Dees. Of course, if you oppose Dees, you’ll likely be labeled an anti-semite, as he hides behind the religion he doesn’t observe.

SPLC is located in Montgomery, AL.

[armydawg505]

The Southern Poverty Law Center is the hate group. No doubt about it.

I think the Son’s of Confederate veterans is also so listed.
