19 Kids': Josh Duggar's Dad Advocated Death for Rape and incest

The father of Josh Duggar, the "19 Kids and Counting" star accused of child molestation, suggested in a 2002 political campaign that rape should be punished by the death penalty, campaign materials revealed Tuesday.

The comments by Jim Bob Duggar, which were first reported by the Gawker site Defamer, were made in a Q&A section of the web site his campaign put up for his 2002 run for the U.S. Senate from Arkansas.

Asked whether abortion should be permitted in cases of rape and incest, Jim Bob Duggar, a Republican, says not if it's possible to save the unborn child. Then he adds: "Rape and incest represent heinous crimes and as such should be treated as capital crimes."

Both he and Josh ought to turn themselves in and be hanged. Jim Bob rapes his wife (she's not allowed to say no) and Josh molested his own little sisters.

Disgusting perverts, both of them.

On a side note, one commenter called Duggar "Pastor Snakeoil."
