"And he made some bad choices, but, really, the extent of it was mild – inappropriate touching on fully clothed victims, most of it while [the] girls were sleeping.”
wtf? It's okay to inappropriately touch children if they are sleeping?
I like to judge people not by their anxious words seeking to smooth a bad situation over and mollify the wildfire burning up their family's reputation and serenity with libellous viral crapola. I look at what they DID about it. They turned him into police, reached out to the victims to help them come to grips with what happened and then sent the boy away to be punished in a work-camp environment. Did you forget about that last part?
Where's your outrage about the media making it simple for the world to deduce who the victims were and destroy the reputation of their chastity (which is extremely important to their faith) prior to marriage? Now the relationships with their new husbands will be strained from being forced into the limelight of shame, which always always unfortunately hangs around the necks of victims of molestation even if they weren't responsible for it.
For that matter, where's your outrage at people who carry Harvey Milk postage stamps around in their wallet or purse? Why idolize a 40 something year old man who sodomized minor boys on drugs one after the other and not only wasn't apologetic about it and got zero therapy for his disease, he was and is celebrated for this particular sexual-orientation?
If you have a pack of Harvey Milk stamps in your wallet or purse, you are DISQUALIFIED to pass judgment upon Josh Duggar. Let his peers do that. And don't worry, WE at least will not be commemorating a postage stamp in his "sexual honor" anytime soon..
