Well maybe he has that attitude because this woman and her hubby are gushed over just for having more offspring than my next door neighbor's dog. With a TV program to boot.
Or could it be that he was called "evil" simply because he does not care about, or gush over, this brood mare named Duggar?

As much as I disagree with their religious beliefs, I will say the parents have done a darn well job in raising their kids to put others before themselves. The world would be a much better place if there was more people who have hearts as big as theirs.
There are PLENTY of people who have huge, huge hearts certainly bigger than the Duggars'. They are everywhere.
Because he's a Duggar, he's in the news. Most people who save someone else act bravely and never get on the news. I can't see anyone who has a small child laid at their feet just standing there and doing nothing to help. He did what anyone would do in those circumstances.
Well, no. He did what anyone who had been trained in emergency rescue or CPR would have done. Just "anyone" doesn't go to the effort to learn these skills and apply them.

Surely people who make fun of the Duggers for being CPR certified and able to actually help an accident victim (not just hold their hand til help comes) are CPR certified themselves??? There would be no excuse for making fun of them otherwise!
This story appealed to me not just because it involved Duggars, who are always getting criticized at this board, but because I was pleased to discover they're both volunteering for a fire department. That earns my respect. My father is a firefighter and so is my future son-in-law, who is serving in the Air Force at Balad Air Force Base in Iraq right now. I'm just proud of the service these people give and wanted to share a nice positive story here, rather than contribute nothing but negative crap. There's more than enough of that around here already.

I agree. There is just NO EXCUSE for people being so negative about this family
I don't understand the controversy here. Praising the action of the Duggar boys in no way takes away from the heroic efforts of the many other good people who are also out there saving lives each day (or who are prepared to do so). Should people who are famous NOT be appreciated just because of who they are? I'd certainly rather read about members of the Duggar family saving someone's life rather than reading about Mel Gibson or Paris Hilton driving drunk. If some celebrity power can remind people of the importance of getting CPR training (I admit, mine is out of date), for example, then all the more reason to highlight the story.
And from the Duggar-specific viewpoint, I agree that it's nice to know that they're volunteer fire fighters. I don't agree with many of their viewpoints on things, but I very much appreciate that they are active and contributing members of the community at large. That is worthy of respect.
