Whoopi speaks out against the duggar family

[Pyrrho]

The hypocrisy is them putting on a show of being morally upright when they were not, and in expecting forgiveness when they have been unforgiving of others.

This has been more or less stated in post 17.

Do you have examples of the hypocrisy or is it your assumption that they would behave this way because they are Christian (being unforgiving/'morally up right') is it your belief that being 'morally up right?' Means one is ammune to sin? So when a 'morally up right' person/family member sins what recourse should be taken that wasn't taken by the duggars?

Do you seriously need a link to something to tell you that they claimed to be morally upright?  Do you not understand the point of their show, how they were supposedly an example of how people should live their lives?  You can read about the show here:

Or are you thinking that child molestation is not wrong?  As I stated, "The hypocrisy is them putting on a show of being morally upright when they were not," which is obviously true.  

I should probably just stop here, as that is enough.


As for the forgiveness part, Josh Duggar was part of a hate group:

Do you seem him wanting to be held accountable for his actual crimes of molesting little girls?  He wants to be forgiven, but he is not forgiving of others.  The others being adults who engage in consentual sex acts with adults, unlike his sexual acts with small children who did not consent in any sense of the term.  He wants their actions to be criminal, and for them to be punished, but he does not want his actions to be punished.  Do you not see how it is hypocritical to want to have one's own sexual misconduct forgiven, but to have others' sexual misconduct punished?  (And even that is giving him great concessions, as it is not universally accepted that homosexual actions between consenting adults is sexual misconduct, but even granting the Duggars' position on that point, they are hypocrites in how they want their misdeeds to go unpunished.)


Here is another example of hypocrisy all at once (starting at 1:50):

Where they endorse Rick Santorum for the idea of only confirming pro-life justices and judges, but want judges to not legislate from the bench!  It is incredible that they would immediately contradict themselves in a political ad, but intelligence is not the strong point of their target audience.

This illustrates their hypocrisy quite well, in that they imagine that ignoring the law in their favor is okay, but otherwise it is "legislating from the bench."
