Part 2 Megyn Kelly blames Oprah for exposing the truth.

Part 3 Duggars more disgusted with tabloid magazines than
anything their creepy son did.

Part 4 If it was over the victims clothes, and they were sleeping
then whats the problem?

Their answers were a prosecuting attorney's dream come true.

13. the family's religion strong condemns masturbation

Let's be clear here: Duggar was surely becoming sexually excited, surely had an erection, and it all felt very good to him. And the naughtiness was an added guilty pleasure.

The family's religion strong condemns masturbation, probably discourages any interest in things "down there". This kind of suppression often leads to weird stresses.

Some of this is natural teenage curiosity. Masturbation would be healthy; exploitation of others is not. Healthy families and good sex ed provide better outlets.

"Look at the bubble-headed bleach-blonde,
She comes on at five,
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye....." --Don Henley.

I don't use the term loosely, but in her case, "news slut" just fits her.

11. So Many Comments I want to Make About This Interview!

So many comments I want to make, but will just make one for now. Did anyone else get the feeling that this type of stuff is not uncommon among these die-hard evangelical type families?? Jim Bob kept saying that once he shared Josh's actions among his friends (who we all know gotta be the same type of crazy evangelical types that they are!), he said that a lot of them told him that they've experienced the same thing in their families! So Sick! Crazy people who love to judge others, but have this garbage in their own families!

into a complete perspective------------your kid there, and your name the Dugger's made a lot of moola on being this holier than thou right wing baby machine and having broadcast as some gospel hour on TLC , and that everything you did was in the name of your "god" .

And that "god" was to get paid a lot of money in self idolatry, which is against one of a "god' covenants--------------so you go around and live in hypocrisy of a contract with one TLC and idolized ones self for greed and support your self righteousness in that name.

And then, you have a tin foil hat propagandist come into your home and the first question that this propagandists should have asked is this:
" Do you think you should be in jail for withholding information from a crime / act which is a chargeable offense of conspiracy in any state and the act of your kid breaking of some laws which he has to have committed and admitted, and you also have admitted he did------should you be under indictment?

But in this piece its self reflectment's of should have and could haves

But will never know because your state has a judge and also the same jury to destroy evidence--------------how convenient----------when he and you really should be in jail.

Anyone else in this country that did this would be in jail -------------- what a double standard -------------and then this moment of more of this dog and pony show.

What is the concept of what your moral compass entails and what would happen if you were called to jury duty on the same issues, and what would all three of you do--------ask asinine questions, with asinine answers
