The Duggars: The real ‘bad guys’ are the people who blew our conspiracy of silence about our pervy son

T Bogg. It's a fantastic read.

1. The RW mantra when caught is this

"il nous faut de l'audace, et encore de l'audace, et toujours de l'audace"

[raccoon]

3. Translation for those of us who need it:

"We need audacity, and yet more audacity, and always audacity!"

[get the red out]

2. Yep!

Just like what's being done to poor Dennis Hastert.

4. It's vomitous.

5. "THAT man" and "except two other incidents"

I watched the first 15-20 minutes. I didn't see when they brought their daughters on.

TBogg has a good summary but I would add two things that I noticed.

"THAT man" when discussing Josh's counseling Jim Bob (really? Jim Bob?) never mentioned Bill Gothard by name. He was referred to twice as "THAT man" - the emphasis is not added, that is how he said it. It was in an accusatory tone and in an almost leading way, as if Jom Bob was pointing the listener to find out who "THAT man" is. The advanced Training Institute was also not mentioned. At all, there was just "THAT man".

Sleeping sleeping sleeping
Jim Bob repeatedly (with Megan Kelly repeating it) stated that the molestations were done while the girls were asleep - so it sort of doesn't count - "except in two instances". He said sleeping at least 4 or 5 times and twice he added the "except in two instances". By my count anyway. He just tossed that in I guess to cover but not address what the other two instances were.

I turned it off at that point.

6. Nice. Blame the victim - classic RW tactic.

7. She didn't ask them how they'd feel if a stranger molested their daughters in the same manner

What if the girls were on a sleep-over at a little girlfriend's and a teenage boy there molested them?
