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.”

“Josh’s actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, ‘inexcusable,’ but that doesn’t 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.”

3. Honest and open about it?

They hid what happened for over a decade. That isn't being open.

4. I think he just locked down the molester demo.

5. Silly librul! This was a "mistake" by a "good person". Those other people were "bad".

Hypocrisy averted!

6. Right

Good person = white boy, "Christian" non-gay

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.

7. Once again in Jesusland. ..

Only Republicans can ask God for forgiveness and mercy. When Democrats sin, Resign! Kill yourself! Automatic ticket to hell!

8. We should have seen it sooner. Huck has a soft spot for child molesters

What with his bromance with Ted Nugent and all.

9. I Will Post This Again...

because it sums it up quite nicely. From a Salon article today:

Interesting how Huckabee reprimanded the Obamas for allowing their daughter to listen to Beyoncé, and yet he can’t quite bring himself to similarly wag his finger at Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar for manufacturing an environment that led to their son becoming a sexual predator, while concurrently burying the crime and scamming television viewers into unknowingly following the allegedly wholesome, Christian life of that predator. Put another way: Beyoncé and the Obamas are immoral because of song lyrics, but Jim Bob, Michelle and Josh Duggar are, according to Huckabee, “honest” and “good people.” (Insert your own race-based observations here.)

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.

10. Trayvon didn't require forgiveness, he was just walking down the street when some lunatic

came after him.

11. A friend of mine used to watch that show on TLC. I told her mark my words sooner or later

we're going to find out that one of them is a serial killer or something. Well my point is that I wasn't too far off.

12. I wonder what Huckabee has been up to in his past?

Those people tend to stick together
