I too and flabbergasted by what I’m seeing on this thread as well. What he has been accused of and apologized for is nothing short of horrific. And I’m ashamed of fellow conservatives on this site.
This site will become marginalized and deservedly so if FReepers are self-avowed pro-molestation as long as the perp is from a TV Christian family.
I did NOT see any of this FReeper support for Roman Polanski the other year when Swiss authorities put him on house arrest. And he “only” drugged and molested an older girl who was already sexually active. Who is an adult now and wouldn’t press charges. Shouldn’t we have “moved on?” Forgiven Polanski?? (No.) This Duggar raped pre-pubescent children for at least a year, possibly more.
These pro-Christian child molestation FReepers must be the fools who vote for Huckabee. They are hypnotized by evil hiding being crosses.
The good news is that Huck just sank his campaign with this asinine defense.
Nobody here cut Lena Dunham any slack either when she admitted to doing basically the same thing that Josh Duggar did.
I actually have more contempt for Duggar. At least Polanski and Dunham aren't running around championing themselves as family values Christians as the public face for the FRC.
One word. Tribalism.
As soon as some leftists like Oprah started saying something the whole narrative changed for SOME people.
That's why the Jerry Sandusky and JoPa comparison I've seen by some was so apt. It's not about doing what is right. It's not about Christianity, although they'll say it is. It's about protecting "The Program" or "The Brand". The left does this all the time, and too many on the right do that too.
