Conservatives heard about Josh Duggar raping at least 5 of his very young sisters. They heard about how his parents knew, tried to cover it all up, and sickeningly allowed it to continue for an entire year after they learned about it.
The timeline shows one sick thing after another:
The family only contacting elders of their weird church, where Josh was arranged to receive "counseling" from a bullshit treatment program. (Doing manual labor on a building for the GD Hobby Lobby ISN'T TREATMENT!!) Oh, and the guy running the program was a sexual offender as well.
The molestation continued, and Jim Bob Duggar told "law enforcement". Well, a close friend who happened to be a state trooper, but with the understanding that no charges would be filed. The state trooper gave Josh a "stern talking to", and all was forgiven.
Jim Bob's friendly state trooper, of course, was also embroiled in his own child sex scandal where he was later sentenced to 56 years in prison for child pornography.
Anonymous tips lead to a real investigation. Unfortunately, the day that the Washington Post makes a FOI request for the records, a court order is issued to destroy them all.
Josh Duggar's net worth is half a million. He had a lucrative job at the Family Research Council giving speeches on how it's gay people who harm children.
All of this should piss you off. I would think that this transcends political ideology and that conservatives should be angry as well.
OH, and they are!!---at the media for bringing it up.
The comments from the "moral values" crowd defending the most heinous action you could do with a small child are shocking and ludicrous. It started when one of those asshats argued with me that, first of all, there is no such thing as "child rape"--it is all "molestation". He was actually quibbling over calling it molestation because somehow that sounded better than rape. (There was digital penetration, genius, which is rape. But if it you makes you "feel better", then please: call it "incestuous molestation". Better?)
It got a lot worse.
You can go to Josh's facebook or instagram page and see these sickos for yourself, as well as any conservative discussion board. They are so bad that Salon.com and the DailyMail compiled several lists of conservatives' disgusting themes in defense of child rape:
It was just a "mistake" (not a serious crime)
His apology was tough enough
Liberal media is mean
Jesus forgave him so shut up (what, did He call and tell you?)
We all have "skeletons in our closet"
It's so much better than being gay because at least he stopped doing it
Everyone else is doing it, so let's all chill out (really! several people said this! One sick bastard even said his uncle is a pedophile and NO BIG WHOOP!)
A lot of them use the term "sensationalizing" the story, as if anyone can exaggerate how bad and wrong it is to RAPE A YOUNG CHILD!! (oh, and Benghazi).
One of the worst ones (there were many) were a variation on this theme:
Children all lie and exaggerate, so it probably wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be.what's really going on here sounds to me like the republican butt covering weekly event. were they embracing this depraved family right wing values when the show was in it's pre exposure days taking gratuitous photo opts to show their "FAMILY VALUES" bona fides? we know that is a hoax if they cared about family values they wouldn't make laws that snatch food from children's mouths or deny them healthcare and abandon their neighborhoods and schools, steal their parents votes so we know that's all elephant dung. so now they have to backtrack or do they their own words we don't need to change or "VALUES" now known as "PRINCIPLES".
please read the rest of the article it tells of other predators embraced by republicans like Ted Nugent and Huckabee showing the love for them not the victims please read the rest.
