Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a Fox News contributor, tea party activist and personal friend of Sean Hannity’s 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.”

In the video, published to YouTube in March, Peterson explains that he believes women simply can’t handle “anything,” and that in his experience, “You walk up to them with a issue, they freak out right away. They go nuts. They get mad. They get upset, just like that. They have no patience because it’s not in their nature. They don’t have love. They don’t have love.”

1. LOL... Holy crap!!! nt

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

22. At this point, I think all the GOP has left to do is call for a reinstatement of slavery

In the past year, we've had Republicans:
- Say the Civil Rights Act was wrong (Rand Paul)
- Want to bring back child labor (Newt, others)
- End the minimum wage (Raese, others)
- Say women shouldn't vote

The GOP: Working tirelessly to take you back to the 1860s

29. They already have!! nt

[tblue37]

44. Don't forget their wish to deny women access to contraception. nt

[MichiganVote]

2. Some men just don't deserve women

[arcane1]

3. So women "don’t have love". Yeah, that makes sense

How could I have missed that?

Seriously, I can't figure these people out anymore. It's like they're deliberately trying to shrink their audience to 2% of the population. Even the awesome DU smilies can't convey my "WTF" level!

[Skittles]

47. .

Dubya: "Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

[BootinUp]

4. quelle surprise?

not

[MrScorpio]

5. Peterson is a well known nut job

Of course he said that.

[libinnyandia]

6. This idiot's mother must not have loved him so he's taking it out on all women:o)

[Raine]

41. Yeah she probably stopped breastfeeding him too soon and tried to potty train

him before he was ready. That kind of thing just plays havoc with some guys dealings with women. What a fragile little soul he is.

[Cerridwen]

7. I get such a kick out of guys like this.

If what they said were true, they'd be dead.

Yet, they think they can keep saying it and saying it; feminazi, as another example; and they get away with it because, apparently, the ones about whom they say it, aren't actually like they say.

An interesting thing; when you keep telling someone they are a certain way...eventually, they will behave accordingly.

[bemildred]

8. Too late now, Bucko. nt

[liberal N proud]

9. But the war on women is a Democratic myth

Every time the republicans lie, the prove it with the next lie.

[cali]

10. LOL! what a little freakoid.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

11. They go nuts? Women are crazy? Surely he's trying to be subtly ironic, no?

A human being can't possibly be this unaware of himself and his own nuttiness if he's being serious.

[Politicalboi]

12. He's probably a Repuke

This shit coming from a man who should himself know what it's like to be discriminated against. Amazing. There are people today who think he shouldn't be able to vote, and they are doing the best they can to make that happen.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

13. Ouch

If you haven't already- click the link and Watch. The. Video.

Oh my...

And on Fox "News" no less...

[progressoid]

14. Reverend, YOU...

[Initech]

15. Tea party activist and friend of Hannity - all you need to know about this asswipe.

[pacalo]

16. That's very telling about the women in Peterson's life.

I can assure him that in my life's experience, his backward claims are laughable. I would have liked to see him debate my mother when she was in her prime.

[richmwill]

17. I wonder if the "good Reverend" would feel the same way...

...if someone said allowing African-Americans the right to vote was a great mistake?

[Kencorburn]

21. He probably would agree,

Seeing as how he already thanked "White Folks" for slavery. If there ever is a Boondocks movie, I know who will play Uncle Ruckus.

[jimlup]

18. One thing I wonder about this election...

Will the wingnut right wingers really finally manage to show the world how fucked up they really are? Or is the world just that deluded that they won't be able to see it in the mainstream? I mean these tea party people are barking crazy!

[FSogol]

19. So? Romney's Judicial adviser*, Robert Bork, feels the same way.

* Bork is Romney's choice to help pick all judicial nominations including Supreme Court Justices.

Does anyone still think that Romney is the lesser of 2 evils or that Romney is to the left (an idea being promoted here on DU today) of Obama?

[Zalatix]

20. I... I am speechless. All I can say is

[Gman]

23. Poor guy

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

24. What an illiterate jagoff. nt

[sky imager]

25. Keep talking Neanderthals... The fairer sex is gonna bury you

[WhollyHeretic]

26. Wow that is some sick shit. I'm sure that's the viewpoint of a lot of republicans but they usually

don't say it so bluntly. He's got the shield of his religion.

[Iris]

27. trying not to lol since my husband is asleep but "They don't have love"?

wtf does that have to do with it? hahahahahaha!

Also, I'd be more upset with his lack of the "n" in the grammatical construction "You walk up to them with a issue, ..."

[nobodyspecial]

28. It means he is a prick

and women are mean to him

[Canuckistanian]

30. Whoa

That's some serious misogyny. And this guy has a wife?

More from his Wiki page:

Women cannot handle power. It's not in them to handle power in the right way. [...] I think that one of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote. We should've never turned this over to women. [...] It was a big mistake. [...] And these women are voting in the wrong people. They're voting in people who are evil who agrees [sic] with them who're gonna take us down this pathway of destruction. And this probably was the reason they didn't allow women to vote when men were men. Because men in the good old days understood the nature of the woman. They were not afraid to deal with it. And they understood that, you let them take over, this is what would happen.

[Jamaal510]

31. I'm not a woman,

but even I was infuriated by "Reverend" Peterson's statement. There are so many sickos and fake Christians from the right wing that it almost makes me want to vomit with rage...these type of people honestly have no niche in the modern world.

[Yavin4]

32. Will His Statements Get The Same Media Attention That Hillary Rosen's Quote Got?

Waiting....

[teewrex]

33. Excuse me? WTF? I have an IQ of 152. I think I know how to think

[krispos42]

34. That just means...

...you make him a really good sandwich when he gets home from doing real work.

[pink-o]

35. Question for y'all...

Sean Vannity is still whinging re Reverand Wright and his radical remarks. Always trying to paint Obama with the broad brush And yet this crazy Christofascist misogynist is his personal friend???

I think it's true: repigs really do have irony deficiency!

[Marr]

36. I believe Jesse Patterson when he says most of the women

he meets are angry.

[oldhippydude]

37. kinda figures no?

[lovemydog]

38. I thought slavery and destruction of natives

were our greatest mistakes.

The rational rev cleared that up.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

39. I wish I could see Barbara Jordan (the Voice of God) whip his ass.

That would be great.

[Rex]

40. So what the projectionist is saying is that

the WOMEN in HIS life, that he 'walks up to' freak out, go nuts, they get mad or upset or have no patience or love. So, did it occur to this guy as to WHY they all seem to behave that way. Hmmm...all women behave toward me this way, well it cannot be me!

Yeah sounds just like one of Hannity's friends!

[Raine]

42. This guy needs to mix with a higher class of women, like Democratic women

he obviously spends his time with crazy RW nutcase repub women.

[Archae]

43. How many times has Peterson been married?

I'd be willing to bet money it's 2 or 3 times, maybe more like Rush Limbaugh.

[GoneOffShore]

45. Shared this on Facebook and called him a fuckwit.

Unbelievable idiot.

[sakabatou]

46. George Takei has a message for this reverand

Doesn't Hannity also pal around with white supremacists?

[Skittles]

49. man, George still has his awesome voice

[Skittles]

48. I'm sure the Rev Peterson has seen hysteria from the women he encounters

[sendero]

50. I don't know what kind of women..

... he's been hanging around with, but his characterization couldn't be more wrong IMHO.

[Scurrilous]

51. Oy!

[Initech]

52. Do they really want to take us back to the stone ages?
