Poor Mama Duggar is feeling overwhelmed

    Baron, you act holier than thou all the time; you just sound ignorant doing it so it's enjoyable.

    Having said that, I have no problem calling out the parents for what you alluded to: they had these kids and aside from giving them shelter, basically made them indentured servants. The downfall of their oldest is some serious reaping.

    OK there Sunshine, how do I act holier than thou?

    We still haven't gotten to the part where Josh catches Teh Gay. That one will be ratings gold.

    The Jesus freaks want to sin and be caught so they can receive forgiveness and feel that much closer to God.

    Note this story regarding the whole Ashley Madison, um, affair:

    Cheating website subscribers included WH, Congress workers

    It seems AP did some really serious investigative work to track and confirm accounts/involvment of these much more officially influential and important people. Yet, it did this:

    The AP is not naming the government subscribers it found because they are not elected officials or accused of a crime.

    You can't deny the irony in that, that's for sure. Duggar must be wondering why he can't catch that break when, comparatively, he's a nobody, especially now.

    And yes, you did equate the two things when you added the current cheating on his wife to this thread in a blatant pile-on referring back to his previous issues.

    Regardless, I don't understand the glee, and frankly, hope you all never do anything that anybody might have to, or want to, forgive you for. And I don't know about TheSportsPredictor's theory/explanation for Duggar's or anybody else's behavior. But yes, I hate to tell you, Jesus really is all about forgiveness and drawing closer to God.

    Josh Duggar is a very public figure. A legislative aide is not. Do you not understand that?

    You're right, the real victim here is that poor Josh Duggar, he just can't catch a break.

    Are you a Duggar?

    I know I'm right. But not about what you're saying I think I'm right about.

    And I'm starting to find this whole discussion kind of funny, actually.

    What exactly are you right about? Please explain to those of us not as god fearing and righteous as Josh Duggar and yourself.

    Nobody equated cheating in a marriage with molesting children. Repeat that particular lie all you want, but that won't make it true.

    Also, the response to the latest revelation of hypocrisy and misbehavior by Duggar is not piling on. It is new information. It also pokes a massive hole in the argument made by you that his misdeeds are in the past. He's just found new ways to lie and hurt people.

    Also, Gawker and the AP have very different standards.

    So it's not ironic at all that one would report and another wouldn't.
