Mike Huckabee: Duggar Family The Victim Of An 'Insensitive Bloodthirst'
Source: Right Wing Watch, people for the American Way
Mike Huckabee, whose presidential campaign website still boasts of his endorsement from the Duggar family, responded on his Facebook page today to the revelation that the reality TV familys eldest son, Josh, sexually assaulted several girls, including his sisters, as a minor.
(...)
Huckabee praised the Duggar family, who took over a year to bring the matter to law enforcement, saying that they dealt with it and were honest and open about it with the victims and the authorities.
He adds that Josh is a good person who confessed his sins to those he harmed [and] sought help, despite the fact that, according to reports, Josh did not receive counseling and was only sent to live with a family friend who worked in the home remodeling business.
The former Arkansas governor saved his anger for the people who have cited the case to point out the disingenuousness of the reality TV stars and the conservative political activists who hold them up as a paragon of moral virtue, or as Josh referred to his family, the epitome of conservative values. They also have a record of depicting LGBT people as threats to children.

Conservative Victimhood Power-up +5!!!!
Yes, how dare that media accurately point out the fact that a conservative "family values" activist, who went around saying LGBT people were "a threat to kids" turned out to be an incestuous, serial child molester! Josh Duggar and his enabling parents are the real victims here!
When will this persecution of Republicans ever stop!

(7,908 posts)Southern Baptist (Protestant) and his denomination does not believe that one must 'confess' one's sins to be forgiven. Confession is a doctrine belonging to the Roman Catholic faith. In Huckabee's denomination, if one is 'saved' (by Grace), one is forgiven. No confession required.
Pedantic itch scratched. Now back to regular programming (npi).

Makes more sense to me. The automatic forgiveness from god seems just too damned easy.

(22,000 posts)Here is what I posted on his Facebook page:
Mike Huckabee on child molestation in 2009:
"Some things are either right or wrong. It doesn't matter who does them. When Hollywood hero Roman Polanski drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl and then fled the country instead of facing the consequences of his own guilty plea, there should be no defense of him from anyone. What he did was evil and reprehensible. The fact that he is a great director doesn't obscure the fact that he robbed a child of far more than Bernie Madoff stole from his victims.
What has our culture become when people can commit despicable criminal acts and yet get defended and excused because they are celebrities. If David Letterman takes advantage of subordinates who work for him, then it's not funny, it's pathetic and immoral. The audience shouldn't laugh and applaud; they ought to walk out in disgust. And instead of actors and even governments seeking the release of Roman Polanski, they should be screaming for justice."

But if you are a member of the republican cult/party, you even get free child molesting privileges!
As in Ted Nugent and now Josh Duggar!
Republican scam artists like Huckabee make me sick and these lousy hypocrite bastards are killing this country and Christianity in america as well.

(24,411 posts)These abuser types--especially sex abusers--always find a way to each other. The sick sad truth is that I think child sex abusers are common in the Republican Party. They feel entitled to hit and abuse children (spare the rod), they want to control women's bodies and so many of them excuse away rape.
They're mysoginistic stunted pigs.
Let's watch as other fellow sex abusers run to the Duggar's defense. Easy way to ferret out other sex-abusers.
Anyone else think it's a coincidence that Mr Duggar, after learning that Josh had sexually victimized FOUR of his own daughters, took his son to talk with a cop friend--who was later convicted of manufacturing child porn?!?!
Mr Duggar did nothing for a year! Then he finally has his son talk with a cop who is also a pedophile and a sex predator.
These people damn we'll stick together. It's how they keep their sick secrets in the dark.

This is where the evangelical abstinence-only zero-knowledge crowd takes us. They treat human sexuality like an evil sin (although we do know that the Duggars have "done it" 19 times. Well, maybe 20 - we'll give them one for practice) and they refuse to teach their children that it's normal and healthy. Therefore, the Joshes of this world don't know what to do with their sexual urges. And because their religion doesn't treat the issue sensibly, the parents have to hide their son's behaviors. I'm not saying it's OK what he did at ALL. Sick, just sick.
libdem4life
(13,877 posts)Yes, I went to their own blog...just to get the actual definition, as per the Matriarch
Q: What is blanket training?
A: Starting when her children are toddlers, Michelle teaches them to play quietly with a single toy for short periods of time, often while sitting on a blanket. Blanket training teaches small children to exercise self-control in any situation (with or without a blanket). As the kids grow older, Michelle begins training them to sit quietly without a toy. Click here to read more about the process Michelle uses to teach her 19 kids to be "quiet and still."
So whether one is changing diapers or molesting, they are taught to be "self-controlled" and keep the secrets. It actually starts when they are Babies. It makes perfect (ungodly) sense.

It took every scrap of emotional and intellectual energy I had to nurture the minds and bodies of our 2 sons, who are now 25 and 22. I could have raised a third. I have often commented, regarding the Duggars, that I cannot imagine how one could possibily do it well for that many different individuals.

...
Despite receiving letters from women who had previously been assaulted by Dumond, Huckabee met with the parole board, in a meeting that was not recorded, and which later voted 4-1 to parole Dumond on the condition he leave the state.
Said parole board member Ermer Pondexter, I signed the (parole) papers because the governor wanted Dumond paroled. I was thinking the governor was working for the best interests of the state.
After moving to to Missouri in August 2000, Dumond was once again arrested only months later for the rape and murder of Carol Sue Shields.

Jailbait you look fine fine fine
I know I've got to have you in a matter of time
Well I don't care if you're just thirteen
You look too good to be true
I just know that you're probably clean
There's one lil' thing I got do to you
Honey you you you look so nice
She's young she's tender
Won't you please surrender
She's so fine she's mine
All the time, all mine mine
It's all right baby
It's quite all right I asked your mama
Wait a minute officer
Don't put those handcuffs on me
Put them on her and I'll share her with you
-- Ted Nugent, "Jailbait"
Two years before recording "Jailbait," Ted Nugent had the novel idea of becoming legal guardian to a 17-year-old girl, so that they could have sex without, you know, her parents having legal recourse. They acquiesced. "I guess they figured better Ted Nugent than some drug-infested punk in high school," he told VH1, years later. In the same documentary, he claimed to have had several relationships with young girls, and seems to brag about gaining their parents' approval, too. (Though he didn't go so far as to adopt any of them.)
(...)
But we have pretty good reason, even beyond the autobiographical details, to believe that the choice of 13 in "Jailbait" is not entirely comedic exaggeration. For example, Courtney Love claims to have performed oral sex on Nugent when she was 12 and a half. When pressed, an uncharacteristically somber Love elaborated, "I didn't have breasts yet... it's sick." This would have been around the time of Nugent's 29th birthday.

(24,411 posts)Many Republicans are sex abusers. Everyone know that Nugent is a sex predator. He's open about his proclivities, but of course he would never define himself as a sex predator. They never do.
Given Huckabees fucked up, dog killing son, his consorting with known child exploiter Nugent--and now his defense of Kish's serial molestations of his four younger sisters--I think it is clear what Huckabee is.
NOONE, but a child molester, makes excuses for another child molester.
There are some fucked up people lurking in the Reoublican party.

Now we have Huckabee making a victim out of a serial molester.

Janet and I love Jim Bob and Michelle and their entire family. They are no more perfect a family than any family, but their Christian witness is not marred in our eyes because following Christ is not a declaration of our perfection, but of HIS perfection. It is precisely because we are all sinners that we need His grace and His forgiveness. We have been blessed to receive Gods love and we would do no less than to extend our love and support for our friends. In fact, it is such times as this, when real friends show up and stand up. Today, Janet and I want to show up and stand up for our friends. Let others run from them. We will run to them with our support."

"Little Rock, Ark -- As governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee aggressively pushed for the early release of a convicted rapist despite being warned by numerous women that the convict had sexually assaulted them or their family members, and would likely strike again. The convict went on to rape and murder at least one other woman.
Confidential Arkansas state government records, including letters from these women, revealed publicly for the first time, directly contradict the version of events now being put forward by Huckabee."
