Misogynistic minister preaching patriarchy

You know there are times that I simply want to cuss. This is one of them.

The Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson tops my cuss-meter charts this week as the winner for utter tomfoolery in the scramble to be at the top of the "find a black face to spout idiocies" sweepstakes.

Lord knows I'm sick and tired of having "ignant" black tools of the right-wing agenda being granted face time as guests on Fox News and other venues to spew bigoted, twisted versions of biblical buffoonery into the airwaves and cyberspace.  

I stumbled across his videotaped sermon at Raw Story:

'I think that one of the greatest mistakes America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote,' Peterson says. 'We should've never turned this over to women. And these women are voting in the wrong people. They're voting in people who are evil who agrees 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,' he adds. 'They were not afraid to deal with it. And they understood that, you let them take over, this is what would happen.'

The View covered the story, as did The Daily News:

The misogynistic tirade continued, with the reverend warning against women in positions of power because they "freak out' and 'go nuts" if confronted with an issue.

"They can't handle stress. They can't handle anything,' he said. 'You walk up to them with an issue, they freak out right away. Especially if they can't get the problem resolved right away ' they go nuts. They get mad. They get upset. Because it's not in their nature. They don't have patience. They don't have love."

He said wherever women are in control, evil finds its way through, referencing homosexuality and gay marriage as examples.

'Wherever woman reins, evil is taking over," he said.

Fox News has hosted Peterson as a guest since the sexist comments were made public.

Hannity, who brings him on air, sits on the Advisory Board of Peterson's Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND). Teapublican Peterson has landed on my infamy list for other comments like:

"Barack Obama hates white people, especially white men" and that "Barack Obama is Jeremiah Wright Jr. He is the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus! He embodies the aspirations of every left-wing black group that wants to tear down this country and take power away from the "oppressive" white man. He's not an obvious race hustler like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson; but Obama is a smooth pathological liar'with a wicked heart". Peterson has also thanked "God and white people" for slavery and described slave ships as akin to "being on a crowded airplane"

Had enough yet?
