Huckabee backs Josh Duggar, slams those sensationalizing molestation allegations
By Elahe Izadi May 22 at 11:52 AM
A day after Josh Duggar apologized amid allegations that he molested several underage girls while he was a teenager, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee criticized those who have enjoyed revealing this long ago sins.
Joshs actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, inexcusable, but that doesnt mean unforgivable, Huckabee said in a statement posted on Facebook Friday. He and his family dealt with it and were honest and open about it with the victims and the authorities. No purpose whatsoever is served by those who are now trying to discredit Josh or his family by sensationalizing the story.

Bad person = black, hispanic, gay.
All forgiveness in the world even for child molesters in the "good" category
Burn in flaming hellfire forever in the "bad" category.
Yeah we got the religious right all figured out I would say.

Read the whole article here-it's worth it: http://www.salon.com/2015/05/22/mike_huckabee_is_beyond_gross_the_sick_hypocrisy_of_a_man_who_slimes_obamas_parenting_but_defends_josh_duggar_admitted_sexual_molester/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socialflow
In fact, I surprised he didn't blame the Obamas for this.
