Reading the comments of people defending the Duggars it's like Deja Vu... [View all]

Mind you I was born in South Central Pennsylvania and about an hour from Penn State University. I still read the Harrisburg Patriot News a few times a month to catch up on the local news.

And the comments these people make defending the Duggars and how they protected their son Josh, who we now found molested about 4-5 underage girls including several of his sisters. It's like reading the same exact comments that were made when people were defending Joe Paterno and PSU after they covered up what Jerry Sandusky was doing after one of the coaches found Sandusky diddling an underage boy in the PSU locker room showers. Because there are people out there that see the Duggars or Joe Paterno as 'Heros' they think we should give the a free pass for these coverups.

It's just pathetic how far people will go to make excuses for these people who yes, they did not commit any crimes, but they covered up some pretty heinous ones.

And let's face it, because Paterno and the Duggars are well know supporters of the Right-wing, no one wants to see them falter. Yet if these were people on the left side of the political spectrum you know they would be ripped a new one by the conservatives and Fundie Christians. But the difference - we progressives would not protect them either.
