The hate on this family is disgusting. It is said that it is because they are hypocrites. All 21 members are hypocrites and deserve to be hated? Really? Besides having Christian views, and having a juvenile son who made a youthful mistake, I am not quite sure that the revulsion from many is anywhere near close to reasonable. That is why I am calling it hate. Do you hate the really young ones too? There are even many despicable comments from freepers on this site. Frankly, I am reevaluating participating on Free Republic if hate and Chtistian bigotry are here.
I don’t consider molesting multiple sisters a mistake. Its not hate to hold Christians accountable when they err. Yes God forgives one of sin that doesn’t mean one escapes paying a price for that sin.
This thread is my first foray into this topic, but I think you have the right of it. Certainly the vileness directed at these people is surprising. I certainly didn't expect it.
Do you hate the really young ones too? There are even many despicable comments from freepers on this site. Frankly, I am reevaluating participating on Free Republic if hate and Chtistian bigotry are here.
Libertarians. Quite a lot of them on this site. They suffer from the perpetual Libertarian problem; The inability to distinguish between "Liberty" and "License."
I have one more general comment to complement my previous post. This past year or so there have been a lot of incidents involving black vs white and often involving police. Surely public officials including police have made mistakes and surely young criminals have caused a lot of disruption and destruction which is not often the fault of police who are laboring under difficult conditions. Certainly ill advised, liberal social programs and false champions have created a large portion of the societal destruction. My comment is that too many freepers on this site introduce racist sounding comments. These are never helpful. Whatever happened to the reasonable and constructive comments which used to be prevalent here. There are many viewpoints which should be honestly and fairly discussed here. Racist sounding comments from either side need to be avoided.
First of all, I'm getting tired of hearing any criticism or distaste toward the Duggars labeled "hate." I've seen it many time from their apologists, and it's every bit as hysterical and inaccurate as when leftwingers throw words around carelessly.
I don't know what your son did and I don't care to know, but "mistake" is not an applicable term to describe Josh Duggar's repeated molestations of his sisters, one little more than a baby.
The Duggars are not normal Christians. They belong to Bill Gothard's cult, which tells them everything from how to dress to what kind of hair they should have. Gothard himself had to step down due to 34 accusations of sexual abuse.
Concerning the young ones in the family, why on earth would you imagine folks would dislike them? I hope and pray they'll have their eyes opened to the destructiveness of Gothardism, and come to understand that Jesus exists outside of it.
As for the parents, I've never liked them. I've always found them creepy, and some of what I've seen lately makes me think they're freaks. So what?
Bingo.
Congrats. You have some sense.
Used to, Freepers would evaluate a story more carefully before trying to tow the liberal line. I am saddened and so disheartened at that total lack of grace and mercy I’ve seen in FR Re the Duggars. Just fermenter, most hated them WAY BEFORE all this. This is just a chance to take them down.
That's funny. It was fine and dandy to hate all of the few hundred thousand Catholic priests for what a handful of queers who lied their way though seminary and were then protected by an even smaller handful of Bishops did, so, sure.
What's 21 people to those who can hate hundreds of thousands Catholic priests and millions of Catholic lay people based on 99.5% false claims and a very few queer perverts who actually did molest kids ?
Seeing the double standard some people have when they argue on behalf of not tarring the whole family with the same brush is simply amazing.
If it was a Catholic family you can bet your bottom dollar a lot of the people defending this family would be all for hanging the lot of them. That sort of folks refused to admit that what was going on was the traditional democrat fascist tactic of "divide and conquer" in action so now all the nice little folks who love to point fingers are in line as the next targets for the likes of SNAP.
Those who were cheering over the insane sums the Catholic Church paid out to settle dubious claims rather than stay in court for decades can now deal with very, very, well funded queers coming after them or their church.
Christians in this country wouldn't hang together but boy do they whine as they're hanged separately.
