Duggar, 27, is the eldest son of the Duggar family, made famous in
TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting” series. He resigned from his post as
director of the pro-life and anti-gay-marriage Family Research Council
Thursday after an In Touch
report uncovered a 2006 police report that documented how a 15-year-old
Josh Duggar admitted to molesting five underage girls. Duggar’s father,
Jim Bob, waited more than a year to contact authorities, and Josh
Duggar never faced charges because the statute of limitations had
expired, the New York Times reports.
Duggar apologized for his actions Thursday in a Facebook post.
“Twelve years ago, as a young teenager I acted inexcusably, for which I
am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family
and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several
steps to help me address the situation,” Duggar said.
TLC announced Friday that it would remove “19 Kids and Counting” from
the air in light of the scandal. But other than Huckabee, none of the
leading Republican politicians who have associated with Duggar have
addressed the child molestation scandal. As the 2016 race heats up and
the Duggar family faces more scrutiny on a national level, these
candidates will likely face questions about where they stand on the
issue. A roundup of Republicans who have been photographed with Duggar
can be found below.

I am not so thrilled with that show and the homophobic way the parents and kids are. Of course they are entitled to their opinions, but when you get millions of dollars being on TV the opinion of the viewer matters more than if they were just some enormous family from the south.
What bugs me most is this guy was some spokesman for a group which makes him quite the hypocrite and a very loud and outspoken one at that.
It was also pretty pathetic that the dad held off taking action and some other local shady stuff too.

I don't think I've ever seen more than 3 minutes of this show....certainly couldn't name any of the family members, except for Josh....now.
Personally, I'm not in favor of large families. I tease my brother and sister quite often for having more than 3 on purpose.
That being said I think the OP and the website are kind of stupid for the connection of republicans being photographed with the family. Like the republicans were somehow supposed to know?
Wall you should be ashamed as well. People who have opposing views on issues as the Family voice those views constantly and you have no problem with that.
For fux sake, if you don't like them or the show don't watch.
But don't be a closed minded shmegma rider about it.

Many conservatives held up the Duggars as their vision of the ideal
family while spewing hatred towards the Obamas. The Duggars covered up
sexual abuse. That's criminal
Mike Huckabee has critized President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for allowing their daughters to listen to Beyonce but he defended the Duggars
“That’s the whole point. I don’t understand how on one
hand they can be such doting parents and so careful about the intake of
everything – how much broccoli they eat and where they go to school and
making sure they’re kind of sheltered and shielded from so many things –
and yet they don’t see anything that might not be suitable for either a
preteen or a teen in some of the lyrical content and choreography of
Beyoncé, who has sort of a regular key to the door” of the White House.”

Let it be known that if Obama or any other liberal had his picture taken with someone who had later been found to do something reprehensible, I wouldn't be knocking myself out to criticize him for it.

Mike Huckabee - Interview with People's Magazine
No shlt sherlock. How do you propose Huckabee was supposed to know about the stuff Josh admitted to?
Don't you think it's fair to say that Huckabee's ideal family was just an 'idea' of the family that was reasonable to be known?

1999 publication by the FRC, guy Activists Work to Normalize Sex With Boys,
which stated: "one of the primary goals of the guy rights
movement is to abolish all age of consent laws and to eventually
recognize pedophiles as the 'prophets' of a new sexual order."[8][9]
The report said FRC senior research fellows Tim Dailey and Peter Sprigg
(2001) had "pushed false accusations linking happy men to pedophilia".[10][8]

He is a hypocrite. How do you know that Huckabee did not know about the molestation issue
You don't know that
second he is defending the Duggars despite knowing what they have done but he has criticized the Obama
Personal attacks?
I've just expressed my opinion that this thread was stupid and ill conceived. What did I say that made you feel i was attaking you personally?
Hmm lets see. Cameras have been following the family around for how many years now? TLC has just barely learned of the stuff and cancelled the show just as of today or yesterday.
Do you think Huckabee has followed the family around more than TLC'S cameras?
Do you see where I'm going with this line of thinking?
I think you need to go back to detective school for a few more years. You're clearly not ready yet.

You are not making any sense.
How about you read your statement before you post it
what does detective scholl have to do with this issue ?
Calling people stupid or a failure for posting a molestation scandal is not stating your opinoin

Dudde take a chill pill .. you need it
You posted an article about how some republicans should light their hair on fire because they had taken photos with a family who had a member of that family do something reprehensible.
You didn't post a comment saying whether you agreed with the article or not.
The scandal itself is not political and by itself doesn't belong in the forums.
Based on your comments, I was right about you agreeing with the article.
You later said you believe that Huckabee absolutely knew about the stuff before he gave his support for the family...I think that is stupid based on common sense.
That's why you need to go back to detective school. In my opinion!

I said when you are making millions off a show that the public watches, you are then under a different level of scrutiny. I dont care if they have 20 kids...I have a great friend whos spouse came from a family of 25 I think...so its not that. Its that to profit off the media and the public like they/he do, you have a higher level of scrutiny.
I do not look the other way when people intentionally persecute and demean innocent people/groups and that is what this Josh guy and his family does. What is also interesting is statistically speaking the odds of one of their family being "happy" has to exist...how the crap would their narrow minded, hateful family deal with one of their own who is "happy"?
I can guess...ole dad the homophobe would sign them up for Duggar conversion camp..

i'd never heard of this dugger "family values" icon/child molester, well until a couple of days ago. now, he's all over twitter. anyway, i saw huckabee came to his defense. not that huckabee had a chance anyway, but that's an interesting strategy when you are running for president.

We all know that with television it's all about the advertiser. If the advertiser doesn't like the content they can influence the channel to allow or not. If viewers don't like it they can watch Bill Maher or Rachael Madcow.

I have to agree with Lipshitz on this one. If you are a politician and you have your picture taken with someone who has done wrong then you are just as guilty.
I'm sure Lipshitz will keep this thread going with other examples (Republican and DEMOCRAT)

to TLC for remaining consistent. They cancelled Honey Boo Boo after the mother began dating a convicted child molester. Still not sure how this type of programming finds it's way to "The Learning Channel", then again turds like Air Force One and The Matrix: Reloaded are on a channel called "American Movie Classics" so I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything

Some of us might want to slow down on the sarcasm. After all, we've learned over the last month that at least one mod equates sarcasm with personal attacks.
Personally, I love sarcasm but I don't wish to cause blood to shoot from any mods eyes either.
Speaking of dullards though, has anyone seen or heard from my good buddy darryl lately?
