Fox News guest laments ‘mistake’ of letting women vote

Quote:
Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a tea party activist that’s appeared several times on Fox News, and founder of an organization where Sean Hannity serves as an advisory board member, said in a sermon recently published to YouTube that America’s greatest mistake was allowing women the right to vote, adding that back in “the good old days, men knew that women are crazy and they knew how to deal with them.”
*** fuming ***

I guess he forgot that, if we were to go back to "the good old days," he wouldn't be allowed to vote either.

What an idiot.

Peterson made headlines in January after telling a Huffington Post reporter that he would like to see black people put “back on the plantation so they would understand the ethic of working… They need a good hard education on what it is to work.”

he explains what he calls “the end of one-sided defense,” in which Peterson insists that men should re-take the right to physically strike women.
And they put this guy on TV?!

Usually when I hear someone that holds the title of Reverend start talking on cable news I pay no attention to what they say. It seems to always end up being verbal diarrhea.

I'm more surprised that this guy has a congregation, unless it's only his family members like with Rev Fred Phelps.

I laughed. He can complain about it being a mistake all he wants to, the fact of the matter is we can vote, and we will always be able to vote. :)

While Reverend is sometimes used as an honorific in the manner of Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr., such use is not traditional. In traditional use, Reverend is never used alone, never with only a first name or only a surname, and never with another honorific (such as Dr.), or with hierarchical title (such as Bishop)


SO - The Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson is an idiot.
NOT - Rev. Jess Lee Peterson is an idiot

Giving this guy publicity is like feeding the trolls.

This is actually scary - it is a combination of religion and politics gone horribly wrong.

Isn't it always?

What's sadder is that I think there are a lot of men out there that secretly feel the same way he does.

My former Congressman, the Reverend Congressman Emanuel Cleaver is awesome. If you see him on TV, turn your full focus. I can tell you, if I like and respect this guy ANYONE can like and respect him. He doesn't think anybody gets a free ride; he's just willing to help you on your way. He also firmly believes in the separation of church and state. During that whole Terry Schaibo mess, his opinion (oddly, his opinion was not sought through that whole debacle) was pull the plug. It's the right thing to do. Duh?

I'd rather they were open about it. Then I could avoid them more easily.

And I feel like people this outrageous have to be saying some of it for shock value. Well at least I hope so.
