Somebody ping me when we are done talking about Bruce Jenner.
Then I’ll come back.
Sarah Palin Calls Lena Dunham A ‘Pedophile’ And Defends Duggar Family

Posted on 6/5/2015, 11:29:28 PM by SteelfishSarah Palin Calls Lena Dunham A ‘Pedophile’ And Defends Duggar Family
Alan Yuhas 5 June 2015
Sarah Palin has accused TV star Lena Dunham of pedophilia and decried the “double standards” of the media as she defended a conservative family whose eldest son allegedly molested his sisters.
In a Facebook post about the media treatment of the Duggar family, stars of TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting, Palin writes: “Hey Lena, why not laugh off everyone’s sexual ‘experiments’ as you haughtily enjoy the rewards of your own perversion? You pedophile, you.”
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, the parents of Josh Duggar, said their son fondled four of his sisters and a family babysitter when he was a teenager and confessed to them. Josh Duggar has apologized for unspecified bad behavior.
Palin writes that she is “not defending the Duggar boy’s obvious wrongdoing” and that she is “not an apologist for any sexual predator”.
But she insists that “the Duggar debate needs to shift from solely the boy’s obvious wrongdoing when he was 14 years old”. Josh Duggar is now 27.
Palin is referring to an essay Dunham wrote that described how, as a seven-year-old, Dunham asked her one-year-old sister for kisses in exchange for candies, and also looked at her sibling’s vagina.
Last year Dunham apologized to anyone who may have found parts of her book “painful or triggering for people to read”, and for an “insensitive” joke in the passage.
But Palin writes that the media has not sufficiently denounced Dunham, and instead suggests the media think “Dunham’s sexual assault on her sibling is cute, and she’s rewarded for it with fame and fortune”.
“Meanwhile, they crucify another, along with an entire family,” she continues..
In her post Palin decries the “disgusting hypocrites” of the media

Palin writes that she is “not defending the Duggar boy’s obvious wrongdoing” and that she is “not an apologist for any sexual predator”.
She was doing good until she just had to throw in that “but”.
To: SteelfishThe seven year old is a pedophile, but a teenager was just mistaken.
Yes, Brilliant Mrs Palin, any kind words for Dennis Hastert or Mark Foley?

To: OliviaforeverWhat a 15 year old Josh Duggar did was a “wrongdoing.” What a seven year old Lena Dunham did was “sexual assault.”You’re grossly ignorant of the subject matter. Both young teens and younger children have extremely low recidivism rates. That is one of the reasons states like Arkansas keep the records of juveniles in cases like Duggar’s confidential.The difference between Duggar and Dunham is that Duggar knows he was wrong while Dunham doesn’t.
To: KazanBoth were wrong, both offended. One did so at age seven, the other at age 14 and up.
At age 14 and up, one can be charged and prosecuted as an adult. We do not charge seven year olds as adults as seven year olds do not know right from wrong.
At age 14 and up, one should know right from wrong.

Finding Redemption in the Josh Duggar Story
Townhall.com ^ | May 25, 2015 | Michael BrownPosted on 5/25/2015 12:05:12 PM by Kaslin
I have no desire to pile on with more comments about Josh Duggar, who appears to be a very serious and committed Christian who has made no excuses for the sins of his youth and who deeply desires to make a positive impact for the Lord in the years ahead. I simply want to share some redemptive thoughts, supplementing some of the excellent statements made by others, including former governor Mike Huckabee and Southern Baptist leader Russell Moore.
1. Jesus really does change people. While critics of the Duggar family want to indict them (along with other, evangelical Christians, especially those with large families) for Josh’s actions, and while many seem ready to throw Josh under the bus, the fact is that while he did sin grievously, through repentance, faith and counseling, he became a new man. Jesus really does transform sinners.
How many of us did wicked things as teenagers? I was shooting heroin at the age of 15
I’m-a stop you right there. You’re so full of shit, my toilet is jealous.
(TL,DR snipola)
To the core of His being, God is a redeemer, and I’m personally praying and believing that for Josh Duggar and his entire family, God will turn this painful situation around for greater good.
Let’s watch and see.
Yes – let’s do that.
To: Conscience of a ConservativeI have always heard “once a child molester, always a child molester”. I don’t know if it is true, especially in this case, but I would never let him babysit my grandchildren.
If only he had robbed a liquor store or something.

To: KaslinWell said.
Anyone following this story has seen how euphoric the liberals and homosexual activists have been about this story. They are so excited to see the fall of the Duggar family, and the
possibleloss of their TV show.3 posted on 5/25/2015 12:17:44 PM by Dilbert San Diego
FIFY.
Rebuttal?
To: Dilbert San DiegoEqually disgusting to me is the fawning evangelical crowd giving this perv a pass. This guy should never again hold any position of trust in any Christian organization, especially a family values organization, not should he ever be around children. The Duggars creeped me out years before this ever came to light.

To: freedomfiter2They all have that glazed-eye look on their faces, the women all wearing the same clothes, frankly I think anyone who has 19 kids is crazy. I can’t say I saw much of their show, but only because I would quickly turn the channel.

To: CatherineofAragonIt smacks to me of the good ole boy “I got a problem with Junior. help me fix it” solution. Gothard gets him out of the house for a while so daddy can get the girls in line. Then, later, they go to the Gothard approved LEO for “reporting”, but only after they make sure it will be reported as 4th degree sexual assault and the SoL has expired.
Pure, unadulterated evil. Those defending them mystify me.
To: jimbo807They always gave off a creepy vibe to me.
For people who are supposed to be moral, they sure did talk about sex in front of their kids a lot.
Ever seen the youtube video of the parents at the golf course? One of the daughters & her fiance were tagging along. The parents were making a scene of “look at what we can do because we’re married” in front of the kids.
JimBob kissed Michelle and asked, “Did that turn you on?” Then he got behind her and started grinding his pelvis into her butt. In front of his teenaged daughter and her fiance.
Yeah. Those good, wholesome Duggars.

‘We are in Arkansas!’ Josh Duggar made an incest joke about his SIBLINGS while on family’s TLC show

As Josh Duggar continues to make headlines following sexual misconduct allegations, it has been revealed that he made an incest joke about his siblings while on his family’s TLC’s show.
The 27-year-old talks about going on a date with his then-fiancee Anna during the show, then called 17 Kids and Counting.
As all Duggars require chaperons for dates, his siblings, twins Jana and John David tagged along to the movie.
‘We chose Jana and John David. We thought, “Why not have a double date?” We are from Arkansas!’ Josh said while laughing in the clip, which aired in October 2008.

I just bet the people in Arkansas are loving that joke! NOT!
To: Morgana
To: MrEddHe was 13. He screwed up. Bad. He repented. He turned himself over to his parents, those involved, and the police. This has been resolved.
Those who continue to pile crap on him — over a decade later — are peeling scabs off of those women who were wounded by this youthful stupidity.

To: TheoDid I ever say he hadn’t repented?
As for peeling the scabs off, well, what was making an incest joke with them there on reality television doing?
And the damage to the girls will be playing out for a long time. Recovery from sexual abuse isn’t an event. It’s a process. Lots of scabs will come off for a long time as they get older and raise kids (if they even can) and those kids become the same age ages the girls and their brother were when this happened.
The damage is not undone.

We’re “disappointed” in Indiana for passing RFRA, says … NASCAR
Hotair ^ | 03/31/2015 | AllahPundit
Posted on 3/31/2015 1:59:26 PM by SeekAndFindA statement that says everything while saying nothing.
NASCAR’s Brett Jewkes, senior vice president and chief communications officer, issued a statement as Pence spoke Tuesday.
“NASCAR is disappointed by the recent legislation passed in Indiana. We will not embrace nor participate in exclusion or intolerance. We are committed to diversity and inclusion within our sport and therefore will continue to welcome all competitors and fans at our events in the state of Indiana and anywhere else we race.”
Translation: Nothing has changed, including our willingness to do business in Indiana, but here’s some rhetoric for gay-rights activists in hopes that they won’t hassle us. It’s a nothingburger in practice but the fact that NASCAR felt obliged to dish it up goes to show how even groups closely identified with red-state culture now feel obliged to stay on the right side, i.e. the left side, of gay issues. That’s not because NASCAR’s controlled by liberals (or is it?). It’s because gay-rights activists are running circles around social cons when it comes to mobilizing economic and media power to support their cause. (Admittedly, not hard to do when upwards of 100 percent of the media sides with you on the issue.) If NASCAR was worried about its conservative audience rebelling, this statement wouldn’t have been issued.

PLz leave Indiana, Nascar,, better yet, move to Europe.
What used to be about racing stock cars has become a behemoth of big business, disrespectful of its fans and those who built it up from when there were no stands or coverage. It has chosen the path of being a follower of social morays
that are destructive, not helpful or necessary or pertinent to cars going around in circles.. the Keystone Kops had that act down years ago.
Why go backward now?

To: ConservingFreedomIt’s pure grandstanding – and for what?Exactly. The left thinks NASCAR and its fans are a bunch of rednecks, and no amount of pandering to them will change that perception.
To: C19fanWe’re supposed to have tolerance for a “religion” thats is currently slaughtering its way across the planet, but Christian businesses aren’t allowed to abstain from providing services on religious grounds.Listen to the caterwauling. Its madness.Who will stand up to these fascists?
To: C19fanSounds like the Gaystapo got to NASCAR.Pity.
Just kicking myself.
In the runup to the 2006 election, when the Mark Foley scandal was in full swing, I should have stocked up on bumper stickers:
GOP: Come for the Corruption, Stay for the Pedophilia!
But no, I figured there wouldn’t be a continuing demand. My bad. Sorta.
