“We may hate them for different reasons. “
Maybe for common core. But for the Duggars family there are a lot of people on this forum who had “problems” with them before this came out.
A lot of people here have insulted them for their rules on dating.
A lot of people here have criticized them for the modesty of the women and girls.
A lot of people here have mocked their large family which is the epitome of pro-life.
A lot of people here accused the father of being it for the money (because as we know capitalism and free markets are a bad thing and trying to make money is the root of all evil). /s
There are people on this forum who hated the Duggars already along with all of the leftists who wanted their show taken off the air.
The hatred is NOT for different reasons as you assert. It is because these are conservative, pro-family, Christians who have made a positive impact on the culture.
We have pervasive perversion in our culture, and how this father dealt with it in his family is a model for how it should be dealt with in society. He ought to be the person in charge of safety of children in our public schools rather than the known pedophile Obama put in charge.
(Kevin Jennings is the founder of GLSEN and promoted children reading about children being sexually assaulted in ways worse than what happened in the Duggar home as if these acts were a positive thing. See “Queer 13: Lesbian and Gay Writers Recall Seventh Grade” and “Passages of Pride”. These books are promoted by the left and reveal that they really have no problem with the sexual assault under discussion. They are actually promoting this behavior openly. And what they really want is to destroy any positive role model for traditional Christianity and conservatism.)
I’ll go on record as supporting them in the middle of this horrible episode that is nothing more than the left re-victimizing the victims in order to destroy a conservative, Christian family. I may have never watched the show, but I have read enough and heard enough from the father to have complete confidence in his leadership. He is not perfect, but he is a role model that conservatives here should be listening to for answers rather than vilifying.
Time will prove me right on this. It may not be possible for the victims of this abuse to speak out now because at least one is still a minor apparently. But I expect they will all eventually have a voice in this. And if they say it was not handled appropriately and criminal punishment should have been given, then I will apologize to everyone here and admit I was wrong. I wonder if the supposed majority who must be right because they are in the majority will do the same if the victims express they have found healing, forgiveness and believe the issue was fully resolved.
Here’s the thing... it appears that the people who felt something just wasn’t right with this family were correct. A lot of perverts seem to be involved in the affair.
IMO, something still isn’t right. There is more to this story. Just a hunch.
I was always a strong defender of the Duggars and their wholesome lifestyle! So don’t lump ME in with Duggar haters. I agree that it is unfortunate the victims have to be dragged through this. Have you read the police report? Which was not created until after someone contacted Oprah right before the Duggars were to be aired on her show and the producers contacted the police? Oprah, who has plenty of nutcases on her show. The case could not be prosecuted because the statute of limitstions ran out. Molestation is NOT just a “family matter.” It is a crime and happened multiple times with multiple victims aged 4 to 10. Is there something in your past that makes you want to defend it so vehemently?
