Lena Dunham vs. Josh Duggar: Are They Both Pedophiles?

Most of the Internet reacted swiftly and negatively to the interview Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar gave Megyn Kelly on Wednesday night. But not Sarah Palin. Not in the way most people responded, at least, as the former Vice Presidential candidate dragged Lena Dunham into the Josh Duggar controversy by wondering why the media is so fast to castigate Duggar… … yet gave Dunham a pass for what Palin deems to be comparable behavior.  In Dunham’s memoir, she writes about looking into her sister’s vagina when Lena was seven and her sibling was one. She also writes about bribing her young sister with candy back in the day to snuggle with her and kiss her and admits to masturbating in a bed she shared with her sister. “The media’s hell-bent mission to go after the entire Duggar family for one member’s wrongdoing, while giving a total pass to perverted actions of someone like Lena Dunham,” Palin wrote on Facebook this week. Do you agree? Dunham satisfied her sexual curiosity as a child by looking at her sister’s private parts and sharing a few intimate moments with her sibling. Josh Duggar has admitted to inappropriately touching five young girls when he was 14 and 15 years of age; two of those victims were his sisters, Jessa and Jill Duggar . Is one action worse than the other? Are they the same? Should critics be looking at Dunham the same they look at Duggar? View Slideshow: 21 Controversial Duggar Family Quotes Back in November, Dunham responded to those who claim she molested her sister by labeling the allegation “really f-cking upsetting and disgusting,” adding: “Usually this is stuff I can ignore but don’t demean sufferers, don’t twist words. I told a story about being a weird seven year old. I bet you have some too.” Jim Bob Duggar, meanwhile, says technically his son is not a pedophile because he was not 16 years old when his heinous acts took place. So now it’s your turn to weigh in, THGers: You know the facts on both sides. You know the opinions.  Compare the situations of Lena Dunham and Josh Duggar and decide: Who’s worse?

Jessa and Jill Duggar: Josh Made Mistakes, But He’s Changed!

Earlier today, Megyn Kelly offered a preview of her interview with Jill and Jessa Duggar that’s set to air tonight on Fox News. Speaking with Extra, Kelly revealed that Jill and Jessa have forgiven Josh Duggar for molesting them several times when they were 11 and 9, respectively. Now, further information about the Duggar girls’ interview has been released, and the new excerpts suggest that Jill and Jessa have not only forgiven their older brother, they’ve also started offering justifications for his actions. Asked about the hypocrisy of a man who’s admitted to incestuous sex crimes condemning homosexuality as destructive to families, Jessa defended her brother’s right to talk out of both sides of his mouth: “It’s right to say ‘here’s what I believe, here’s my values,’ even if you’ve made stupid mistakes or failures,” Jessa says in the interview. “If you’ve had failures in your past it doesn’t mean you can’t be changed. I think that’s where, I think the real issue is people are making this sound like it happened yesterday.” The girls also addressed the steps their parents took to try and prevent further abuse from taking place, and the rumors that father Jim Bob designed the Duggar house to keep Josh away from the girls . “My parents said, ‘OK, we’re not going to do this hide and seek thing where two people go off and hide together,’” Jill says when asked about the precautions. “Locks on the doors. You know, everybody’s in bed — girls in the girls’ room, boys in the boys’ room.” A segment that aired on Wednesday night showed the girls confirming that they were molested by Josh and complaining of being victimized by the media. The Megyn Kelly interview with Jessa and Jill will air on Fox News tonight, beginning at 9 pm EST. View Slideshow: 23 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals
