Abu Bakr's Father was a poor drunkard:
Abu Quhafa (Abu Bakr's father) was nicknamed due to his intense drinking, his real name is Uthman. He was so poor that he would resort to eating flies. History books are full of reference to his poverty and practice of eating flies.
[Tarikh Madinat Dimashq by Ibn Asakir]
Umar's father was an incestual fornicator:
"Al-Khattab, father of Umar b. al-Khattab, was both his uncle and brother from his mother. That was because Amr b. Nufayl had had a child by his father's wife after his father. She had had his brother al-Khattab by Nufayl."
[Al Sira Al Nabawiyyah, Ibn Kathir, page 110 (English translation)]
Uthman's father was homosexual:
Hisham narrates from his father:
Among those people that men used to play with (i.e. were passive homosexuals) and hermaphrodites were:..., Affan Ibn Abil Aas Ibn Umayya (the father of Caliph Uthman), ...
كانَّ مِمَّنْ كَانَ يُلْعَبُ بِهِ وَ يَتَخَنَّثُ عَفَّانُ بْنُ أَبِي اَلْعَاصِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ.
[Mathalib Al-Arab wa Al-Ajam page 63]
Now compare this to the lineage of the noble Imam Ali (as) who's mother Fatimah Bint Asad (sa) who some scholars say was the first person to swear allegiance to the Prophet (Ibn Abī l-Ḥadīd, Sharḥ Nahj al-balāgha, vol. 1, p. 14.) and who's father was Abu Talib (as) who was undoubtedly the greatest guardian of the Prophet (s) before Imam Ali (as)!
