PC double standard on pedophilia

Congratulations to Sarah Palin for having the guts to out the media's sicko double standard on pedophilia:

Sarah Palin's 2015-06-04 post comparing media treatment of Lena Dunham and Josh Duggar,
reprinted below:


HEY LENA, WHY NOT LAUGH OFF EVERYONE'S SEXUAL "EXPERIMENTS" AS YOU HAUGHTILY ENJOY REWARDS FOR YOUR OWN PERVERSION? YOU PEDOPHILE, YOU

Radical liberals in media who have total control over public narratives are disgusting hypocrites, so says my daughter. Go get 'em, Bristol! Read her post!

I'm glad someone's got the guts to call out these perverts.

The intolerant left's destructive personal intrusions and narrow-mindedness applied to their chosen targets are bad enough, but their double standards are beyond the pale.

I’m not defending the Duggar boy's obvious wrongdoing over a decade ago. The main victim in any story like this isn't the perpetrator, it's the innocent ones so harmfully affected. I’m not an apologist for any sexual predator, but I’m sickened that the media gives their chosen ones a pass for any behavior as long as they share their leftwing politics. Case in point, they suggest Lena Dunham's sexual assault on her sibling is cute, and she's rewarded for it with fame and fortune. Meanwhile, they crucify another, along with an entire family.

The Duggar debate needs to shift from solely the boy's obvious wrongdoing when he was 14 years old to now include:

1) The shocking, unethical leak of a private, legally protected counseling document by a politically motivated law enforcement official. Media - time to go after her or him for illegalities and for destroying the public's trust in law enforcement.

2) 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 - or any other leftwinger celeb caught doing awful things. Remember reports of the pedophile billionaire our former democrat president has been friends with and hung out with on the pedophile's "orgy island” full of underage girls?

Such obvious double standards applied to equally relevant stories underestimate the wisdom of the public, discredit the press, and spit on the graves of every American who fought and died for the press's freedom.

I hate for anyone to go through this game liberals are allowed to play, relentlessly attacking on an uneven playing field until a conservative's career, relationships, and reputation are destroyed. To the media's targets I encourage, "Rise above by never claiming 'victim', tell the truth, and keep the faith!"

And, for what it's worth, "Welcome to my world; believe me - what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"

- Sarah Palin

The Washington Post gave, on their web site, a quite straight-forward account of what Sarah said:

My [KHarbaugh] comment:
From what I understand, what Josh Duggar did to his sisters was
touch them while they were asleep.
They have essentially no memory of this.
It had no effect on them at all.
In contrast,
what Lena Dunham did to her sister Grace was while Grace was fully conscious,
fully aware of what was being done to her.
If we are talking about the effect the acts had on the younger person,
there can be no doubt that
Lena Dunahm affected her younger sister Grace
far more than
Josh Duggar affected his sisters.
