T"he 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."

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?

My son has never done anything inappropriate. This whole thing is about the Duggar family, not mine. I still do not understand why their Christian views, or the mistakes of their son while he was a juvenile can manage to stir up so much hate by others. If you don’t see the hate then you are in denial. I am not an apologist for the Duggars and they can make their own decisions about how they choose to practice their own Christianity.
