Pedophiles and rapists are bad for sausage ads.

How is it the right has seemingly no organization to pressure advertisers like much smaller groups do? I have no opinion of the Duggars. I couldn’t pick them out of a lineup. I just find it amazing that group after group on the left has an ability to push out advertisers while a much larger and more significant force is there for moral issues and yet the media is pushing the culture off the cliff.

As bad as this is, these same people would probably line up to advertise if they were promoting same-sex marriage.

“and yet the media is pushing the culture off the cliff.”

You do realize that if it were not for sex abuse/child molesters both this this bunch of freaks and the ones from “Here comes Honey Boo Boo” would still be on the air. I mean come off it people TLC did not put them on reality TV because of their “Good Christian values” they put on because rest of society views them as freaks for having so many babies. Not saying that is wrong, just saying people now days find it abnormal. Notice what was on the air before and after “19 kids”? Then the same station puts on “Honey Boo Boo”? I mean come on it’s freak show on parade.

David’s Bridal if one of the Duggars said something positive about queer marriage, would you embrace them?

I wonder if any of these companies advertise on the shows Lena Dunham is on.

Yet admitted molester Lena Dunham is still on the air, and even gets invited to the WHCD and gets treated like royalty. Hollywood does not have a problem with molesters, per se.

All Entertainment Tonight did on tonight’s show was try to connect the Duggar family to the Republican party..showed the with several of the candidates(Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Rick Santorum) the media has decided to make this political, that Republicans have to somehow apologize for the Duggar family..funny, we havent asked the left to apologize for Lena Dunham molesting her little sister and writing about it in her book

If the Duggars would come out in support of gay marriage, HBO would pick up their show and have Lena Dunham consoling Josh.

Come on Sarah! We should ask the left to apologize for Lena Dunham PERIOD. I need a whole box of Alka-Seltzer just to watch or look at her. Then we can get to what she did to her sister.

Families with a large number of children are not freaks. I know of several. We may comment they can hold their own baseball games fielding both teams, but they are not name called. I don’t know the Duggars, and have never watched a single episode, but they aren’t freaks because they are a large family.
