Josh Duggar, who was the Executive Director of the Extreme Christian Anti-Gay hate group Family Research Council, resigned after his child molestation past became public - a past that his parents knew about, and hid.

Disgusting perverts - wouldn't surprise me if most of the Duggar kids were molested. If Arkansas CPS was doing their job, they'd take all the minors out of the Duggar household.

Molested at LEAST 5 girls, some his sisters, some while they were sleeping.


This is the darling of ALL THE GOP Candidates

I saw where TLC was catching flak for scheduling a marathon of a show he's involved in over this weekend. Which, I sort of agree with. I don't think it's cause for an outrage, but it's bad form if they're hoping to gain some viewership over this sort of admission becoming public.

Michelle Duggar supposedly later admitted to police that Josh had not received counseling, but was sent to a family friend who was in the home remodeling business.

When Josh returned, the Duggars still did not contact authorities. Instead, they took him to Arkansas State Trooper Jim Hutchens's home. He was a Duggar family friend. According to the report, Hutchens did not take any official action and instead gave Josh a "very stern talk." In Touch reports that Hutchens is now serving 56 years in prison for child pornography.

I don't know the nature of the charges, but I have no problem with people who are supposed to be in positions of authority being charged more harshly when taking advantage of others. Judges, doctors, police, teachers, you name it. Still, wow, that's a lot of time.

Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is coming out swinging for Josh Duggar ... saying he should be forgiven for his sins, because the alleged molestation happened when he was a minor with poor judgment.

The former Arkansas Governor is famously tight with the whole Duggar family, and made it clear ... he's standing by them now that the molestation investigation has come to light. Huckabee says, "Josh’s actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, 'inexcusable,' but that doesn’t mean 'unforgivable.' He and his family dealt with it and were honest and open about it with the victims and the authorities."

Huckabee also believes the 2006 investigation should never have become public. He says the law protects disclosure of many actions by minors because "being a minor means that one's judgment is not mature."

He adds ... Josh has gone on to live a very responsible and Christian life as an adult, and says, "Janet and I want to show up and stand up for our friends."



I get what Huckabee is saying to a degree, but the stigma that comes with molestation is almost radioactive. Not a good move for someone who wants a Republican nomination.

Huckabee was never a serious candidate anyway.

wtf does this have to do with Ted Cruz?

The anti gay folks are just trying deflect from their own perceived 'sins'

Nothing new here...

I guess he's one of those 'straight-pedophiles' lol

"Our" sins? Here's the thing, whatever happened, happened when this guy was 14 years old so he was a minor also.

Do I think he's probably still a pervert? Absolutely. But none of that has anything to do with Ted Cruz or any other Conservative.

'19 Kids and Counting' TLC Yanks Show From TV Schedule

LC has just pulled all airings of "19 Kids and Counting" from its lineup ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, the fate of the show is uncertain, but there's now so much heat in the wake of Josh Duggar's molestation confession ... the network had to make the decision.
We're told they absolutely have not made a long-term decision, but it's clearly a bad sign for the show.
And there's this ... a rep for General Mills tells TMZ, they have already blacklisted the show and removed it from their company's current advertising schedule.

That didn't take long.

When the ad revenue being is threatened, you are gone.

Was this a coverup?

Huck is defending this guy as a 'good Christian'

Huck is done.

And who could forget in the bible: "if thou commiteth a crime before thou turns 18, it shall not count on your holy permanent record"

well the parents knew about it apparently. I don't think TLC knew about it and kept it a secret.

So the parents new about it. Were they trying to cover it up or were they just moving on like normal parents?

To be clear, I have not researched this so I am speaking out of some ignorance, and I also realize that these people put themself in the public eye and that makes them susceptible to people prying into their past, but wasn't the kid like 14 at the time? Has it reocurred? How many years ago was this? Who did he molest? Is this really a big deal currently?
