The left reacts to Josh Duggar UPDATED

0521-josh-duggar-getty-01TMZ  "Josh Duggar has resigned as Executive Director of the Family Research Council, acknowledging he sexually molested underage girls including some of his sisters, calling his conduct inexcusable.
"Josh says, "Twelve years ago, as a young teenager. I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret."  He continues, "We spoke with authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling."
"The molestations occurred in 2002 and 2003, when he was 14." . . .

World Magazine has this from Anna Duggar:   “ 'At that point and over the next two years, Josh shared how the counseling he received changed his life as he continued to do what he was taught,” Anna said. “And when you, our sweet fans, first met me when Josh asked me to marry him … I was able to say, ‘Yes,’ knowing who Josh really is—someone who had gone down a wrong path and had humbled himself before God and those whom he had offended.”

 This is red meat for the anti-Christian, anti-conservative left. We expect them to rejoice over this and they are not going to disappoint, as we can see here,  here, and here including the UK Daily Mail
Can '19 Kids' survive Josh Duggar scandal?  " 'This is the recurring problem with reality TV: The very source of its appeal — this isn't fiction, it's real life, true and unscripted! — is what makes it more vulnerable when confronted with scandal," Yahoo TV critic Ken Tucker wrote Friday.
Tucker wondered, "How does one look at Josh now, and not wonder about his actions? How does one look at the cheery faces of Jim Bob and Michelle and not think about about the degree of their complicity in keeping this 'storyline' — for that's what all real events become in this TV genre — suppressed?"
" '19 Kids" is a part of the foundation of TLC, a channel known for family friendly reality shows." . .

 UPDATE from 2014: Libs aim to destroy the Duggars; America responds  
 American Thinker  "Last week, transgender activists tried to get the popular TV show 19 Kids and Counting canned.  The movement, accustomed to capitulation, may not have expected a conservative counter-petition to overcome its Change.org push.
