Ben Seewald’s Dad Defends Jessa Duggar, Says Her Critics Are "Hitler’s Doppelgangers"

Ben Seewald’s father, Michael, is weighing in on some of the criticism Jessa Duggar recently endured, calling out the critics of his soon-to-be-daughter-in-law. Specifically, he’s calling the critics of 21-year-old Jessa “Hitler’s Doppelgangers.” Yes, he said that. So how’d we get to this point, you ask? Here’s a refresher: After visiting Washington, D.C., Jessa commented on the Holocaust on abortion in an Instagram essay that resulted in some pretty significant backlash. The Duggars, as you know if you watch 19 Kids and Counting online , or read any celebrity news sites lately, are unabashedly religious and pro-life. Jessa also believes Earth is 6,000 years old , but that’s neither here nor there. Well, she’s marrying a young man in Ben Seewald that shares her convictions, as does his family. Michael Seewald proved this by going OFF on her detractors … “Bravo, Jessa, for daring to speak out against one of the great evils of our time even if it means that Hitler’s doppelgangers are enraged,” Ben’s father writes. “Maybe this is why Rush Limbaugh calls radical feminists ‘Femi-Nazis’.” Michael’s full missive describes in detail how he believes that “abortion also is the extermination of a certain class of people deemed unworthy to live.” Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Photos 1. Jessa Duggar Wedding Invitation This beautiful wedding invitation beckons you to the nuptials of Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald. If only we could go. “The powers that be have legalized murder just as they did during the Holocaust. Any woman who chooses to may go to an abortion clinic and have her preborn baby violently killed.” “In Hitler’s Germany there was legal discrimination against Jews. In our society we may legally discriminate against our own children and eradicate them.” “Tell me how this is not the same thing.” Some many view statements such as godly, and vital in terms of speaking truth to power. Others may think of Seewald’s rant as hate speech in and of itself. Jessa Duggar, for her part, did not go nearly as far when lamenting the human rights atrocities she was so moved by when she visited the Holocaust museum. The controversy isn’t likely to wane anytime soon, whichever side you’re on. As the criticism intensifies, the Duggars and their supporters keep digging in. Will comments from Ben Seewald ‘s family and the like hurt the popularity of the TLC family? Or only make fans more inclined to tune in, whether they agree or not? 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.

Merry Friggin’ Christmas: Trailer For Robin Williams’ Final Film Released Online

After news broke that Robin Williams had committed suicide back in August, fans mourned the loss of one of the sharpest comedic minds the world has ever known. While his existing body of work will be enjoyed for generations to come, it seemed impossible to imagine that someone so lively and animated as Williams would never again grace the screen with his distinct blend of manic energy and real human emotion. Fortunately, before he died, Williams wrapped filming on a dark holiday comedy titled Merry Friggin’ Christmas. The trailer for Robin’s final film was released online earlier today. Merry Friggin Christmas Trailer In the film, Williams plays the cantankerous father of Joel McHale and Clark Duke who must make an emergency last-minute road trip with his adult children in order to “save Christmas.” The actor was reportedly working on a number of projects in the months before his death, but Merry Friggin’ Christmas is said to be the last film that he completed before his unexpected passing. While Williams has been the subject of many moving rembrances  from fans and friends alike, we can’t think of a more fitting tribute to one of the funniest men who’s ever lived than to watch him do what he does best on the silver screen one last time. Robin Williams: His Most Memorable Roles 1. Mork (Mork & Mindy) The role that started it all. Robin Williams starred as an alien on the late 1970s sitcom Mork & Mindy.

Jana Duggar: Exhausted From Lifetime of Helping Raise Siblings, Source Says

During a recent episode of 19 Kids and Counting, fans of the show took to social media to express their outrage at the mistreatment suffered by Jana Duggar , the eldest daughter of Michelle and Jim Bob. In the episode, Jana was forced to work tirelessly in preparation for Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard’s wedding , while the rest of the family enjoyed an afternoon tea party.  The incident gave credence to rumors that Jana is planning to break away from her family in order to start a life of her own, in which she won’t be forced to shoulder the burden of helping to raise her sixteen younger siblings. “It’s absolutely ridiculous how much the family makes Jana and the older siblings do,” a source close to the Duggars tells Radar Online. “Jim Bon and Michelle have totally transitioned a lot of their parental responsibilities on to her.” “Ever since she was young, she would have to watch the house while Michelle and Jim Bob would go out on date night alone.” “She looks so tired and worn down sometimes,” the insider adds. “You can’t help but feel bad for her, having to take on that responsibility at such a young age. It’s like she’s been a parent ever since she was 13!” With one of Jana’s younger sisters already married, and Jessa Duggar engaged to Ben Seewald , many fans have speculated that Michelle and Jim Bob have sabotaged Jana’s love life in order to keep her at home. According to the strict Duggar courtship rules , suitors must be hand-picked by Jim Bob, and the patriarch doesn’t seem to be making much of an effort to find a suitable partner for Jana. Watch 19 Kids and Counting online to decide for yourself if Jana is unfairly burdened or if she’s just pitching in to help her huge family. 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob.

Modern Family Season 6 Episode 3 Recap: The Cold Stops With Me

Last night’s Modern Family Season 6 Episode 3, “The Cold” began a bit slowly but came together cohesively by the end in a solid, if not stellar, installment. Watch Modern Family Season 6 Episode 3 Online Ostensibly, if you watch Modern Family online this week, what you’ll see is an episode framed around a family health epidemic, something we’ve all experienced. Beneath the surface, however, are a group of people trying to put on a good front and look tougher, stronger, and better than ever for the sake of … who knows. We all want to appear to be our best selves, especially around family, and no matter how open and honest we are with each other, it’s a tough act to pull off. Phil had done Mitchell and Cam a solid and gotten a friend to shoot the video at their wedding, though he uncovered a scary detail while editing: He was Patient Zero, the man who started it all. What he initially believed were allergies at the wedding was really “The Cold” and the video caught him red handed sneezing all over stuff … i.e. Mitch. Everyone, of course, was focused on their own flaws to even notice (or get to) Phil’s offending behavior, which was really the main takeaway here. Does anyone llke looking at themselves on tape? Meanwhile, Claire forced herself to go to a client meeting despite being deathly ill, since she’s Jay’s super tough girl and all that (even if she’s not). Gloria blames Jay for pressuring the kids so hard, although Manny then calls Gloria out as the one who’s truly guilty of this, telling him he’s so perfect 24/7. By the time all the plot lines came together at the dinner and viewing party at the end of Modern Family Season 6 Episode 3 , it worked out fairly well. As for the Andy and Haley romance, that unlikely pair continues to come into their own slowly but surely, and surprisingly provided some of the best moments.

Melissa Gorga Reacts to Teresa Giudice Prison Sentence: Pray For Her…

Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice have not always gotten along so well. But nothing brings a family together like a long prison sentence. Late last week, Giudice was sentenced to 15 months in jail for financial fraud, while her husband Joe Giudice received 41 months in the slammer. And last night, Gorga took to her Bravo blog to express sympathy for her sister-in-law/ Real Housewives of New Jersey rival. “Obviously this has been a very tough week. We are heartbroken for our family and especially those four sweet girls,” Gorga wrote of the Giudices’ four daughters. “Pray for them. No matter how you feel, I hope everyone is wishing their family strength and faith.” Teresa, who claims she did not understand that a plea bargain could land her in jail, tells the new issue of Us Weekly that she hopes to use her punishment as a “life lesson.” She plans to “teach” her children and the consequences of their actions through the illegal dealings of her and her husband. Speaking of those children, Teresa also says 13-year old daughter Gia Giudice is aware of what’s going on, but the three youngest (Gabriella, 10, Milania, 8, and Audriana, 5.) “don’t know anything.” Teresa Giudice begins serving her sentence on January 5, while Joe will then serve his once her time is complete. 13 Classic Teresa Giudice Moments 1. Teresa Giudice: Table Flipping And now for the classic. Teresa’s face is priceless as she famously flips the table. Bravo. Bravo. 13 Classic Teresa Giudice Moments 1.

Porn Star Kim Kardashian Still Knows How To Dress

Man, as much as I love to rag on Kim Kardashian , I’ve got to give credit where credit’s due: she may be a chubby, annoying, fame-hungry porn star, but she definitely knows how to dress. Here she is out during Paris Fashion Week, and all I know is, if more moms dressed like this to go for a walk with their children, I wouldn’t have to lie anymore when chicks ask me if I like kids. So enjoy and just be glad motherhood isn’t cramping Kim’s style one bit. » view all 15 photos Photos: PacificCoastNews , Fameflynet Continue reading

Jessa Duggar Uses the Holocaust to Attack Abortion, Evolution

Yeah, she went there.  Just one day after Jessa Duggar bashed evolution and atheism on Instagram, she returned to the social media site to express an even more controversial view. Jessa, 21, and fiance Ben Seewald , 19, are in DC at the moment, and according to her page they recently paid a visit to the US Holocaust Museum. The future Mrs. Seewald was clearly moved by the experience, and with good reason. The museum brings to vivid life one of the most horrific tragedies in human history. Unfortunately, and all too predictably, the emotions that Jessa experienced at the museum inspired an lengthy, impassioned defense of her various political causes and religious convictions. None of which – at least as most people probably see it – have anything to do with the millions of lives lost in concentration camps in Europe during WWII. Jessa’s latest Insta-rant is too long to reproduce here, but she begins by saying, “I walked through the Holocaust museum today…very sobering.” So far, so good. She goes on to lament man’s inhumanity toward man and decry the horrors of racism.  Then she begins to go off the rails, asserting that racism stems “from the evolutionary idea that man evolved from something less than human; that some people groups are ‘less evolved’ and others ‘more evolved.'” Say what?! Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Photos 1. Jessa Duggar & Ben Seewald: So in Love Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald are now engaged to be married after an 11-month courtship. Here’s a gallery of photos of their love! We’re not sure what evolutionary biologists Jessa’s been chatting with, but the gist of the theory is that we all evolved from different species.  There’s literally not a single reputable scientist on the planet claiming that “some people groups are ‘less evolved.'” But hey, if your head hasn’t exploded yet, don’t worry – it gets worse. Following a lengthy quote from the Book of Proverbs (We highly doubt Jessa abides by every law in the Old Testament, but that’s a conversation for another time.), Jessa mercifully wraps things up. But first, of course, she gut-punches you with nonsense one last time: “We must be a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Because EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS #ProLife” That bit at the end was the first time that Jessa mentioned anything about abortion, and to be clear, we’re not attacking her stance on the matter. It’s a complex issue and not a debate we’re interested in wading into here. All we’re saying is, DON’T FREAKIN’ COMPARE ANYTHING TO THE HOLOCAUST! There. It’s that simple.  It’s like using a racial slur or cat-calling a strange woman on the street. Just don’t do it ever, or you’re a jackass. Is that so hard? Anyway, you can watch 19 Kids and Counting online at TV Fanatic to see if you can find a scene in which Jessa says something smart. 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob.

Jessa Duggar Visits Creationist Museum, Bashes Evolution and Atheism on Instagram

Earlier today, we learned about the Duggar family’s dating rules and the many ( many ) things that are banned from their household for religious reasons. It’s easy to look at Michelle and Jim Bob’s unusual way of living and feel pity for their 19 kids (and counting!), but it seems the Duggar kids don’t have the sense that they’re missing out on anything. Sure, they’ve been denied simple, harmless pleasures like going to the beach and celebrating Halloween, but in the place of childhood fun they got… well, a whole bunch of wacky nonsense. Ya know, like the kind you find on Jessa Duggar’s Instagram page: As you can see, Jessa and fiance Ben Seewald have been doing a bit of traveling lately. They stopped in DC and visited the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, which is a museum in the same way that Disney World is a museum of mice who wear pants. In other words, it’s got a bunch of stuff that some people consider fun to look at, but that doesn’t have anything to do with real life or scientific facts. Along with the above photo that explains how Jesus made raptors or something, Jessa posted a caption reading: “If there really was a worldwide flood (as the Bible speaks of), what would the evidence be? Billions of dead things, laid down by water, buried all over the earth. And that’s exactly what we find.” Well that explains everything! Eat it, science!  9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair. But yes, sadly Jessa actually believes that the earth is only 6 thousand years old and people coexisted with dinosaurs, a la The Flintstones. Jessa also posted a quote about atheism that defines it as, “The belief that there was nothing and then nothing happened to nothing and then nothing magically exploded for no reason.” Of course, it would be very easy come up with an equally dismissive take-down of pretty much any belief system you can name. To do so, however, would be to expose your own ignorance and demonstrate an astonishing lack of respect for other people’s convictions and experiences. Obviously, to do something that stupid, you’d have to be the kind of person who thinks your ancestors rode brontosauruses to work. Anyway, watch 19 Kids and Counting online at TV Fanatic for more science lessons, Duggar-style. Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald Photos 1.

Kailyn Lowry Responds to Breastfeeding Backlash: Who Cares?!?

Kailyn Lowry has something in common with Gisele Bundchen: Both have been criticized for breastfeeding their children in public. The Teen Mom star recently pulled out a boob for her 10-month old son, Lincoln, during a signing of her new book, “Pride Over Pity.” At first, Lowry tells Life & Style, those in the vicinity gave her props, telling Kailyn she’s a “pro” and applauding the move. The next day, however, Lowry noted a handful of hurtful comments posted online. “They wrote, ‘Oh my God, that’s so disgusting. Why would you do that?” Lowry tells the tabloid. “I got a lot of heat for it. But I’m feeding my kid. Who cares? “I think it’s crazy and unbelievable that anyone would be offended by breastfeeding.” But they are, of course. This issue has grown into a polarizing one on the Internet. Remember Lucy Eades and the discrimination she took for breastfeeding her child in a public place? Cases such as hers are the reason why this breastfeeding ad campaign was created by women in Texas, as they attempt to fight back against anyone who dares call out a mother simply doing her job as a parent. Where do you stand on this topic? Do you think it’s anyone’s business what a mother does to provide nutrients for her child? Celebrity Breastfeeding Pictures 1. Gisele Bundchen Breastfeeding Gisele Bundchen breastfeeding and getting all made up for a modeling shoot. That is some impressive multitasking right there. NOTE : You can watch Teen Mom online via TV Fanatic for plenty more from Lowry and her costars.
