Not excusing the abuse.

The FReeper backlash is ugly.
The most virulent posters sure seem to be working out personal issues.

Subtle accusation. Nice touch.

Maybe some are just viscerally disgusted by what went on in that household, and can’t believe the lengths to which supporters will go to minimize it all.

I could just as easily say that the most virulent Duggar defenders are trying to justify similar behavior by themselves but I won't.

I object to murder but it’s not because I’ve ever been murdered before.

I object to those on FR who are insisting that voicing an opinion makes us “haters” or criticizing posts they don’t like by calling them “hysterics.”

I object to those who’d like me to apply a different set of moral standards to the Duggars than I apply to any other 14 year old molesting his own sisters because the Duggars are “real TV” celebrities on a popular TV program.

It’s not Freeper backlash. Personally I am horrified by child molestation and don’t give special consideration for fame or religion.

To show you how consistent I am, after the awards show (maybe a year ago?) where Diane Keaton stood up and gave Woody Allen an award, speaking about all of his accomplishments, I was tweeting (along with his supposed “son” probably fathered by Frank Sinatra) about his forgotten achievements like molesting his four year old daughter.

I found the people applauding for Allen just as repulsive as the FReepers “forgiving” the Duggars. I believe none of you wanted hands in your four year old panties nor would excuse it in your own daughters, BUT WERE COWED BY FAME OR RELIGION. And I’m saddened.
