Source: ThinkProgress
The Raw Story uncovered a sermon that Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson gave in March in which he spends 10 minutes lecturing his audience about how women have destroyed America. Lee is a radical pastor who says that allowing women to vote was one of the greatest mistakes that America made.
Look at every place where a women is in control, said Peterson. You see nothing but confusion. Theres no good in it at all, none.
Petersons sermon began with comments about Sandra Fluke, doubling down on Rush Limbaughs slut remarks. But halfway through his speech, he kicked the hate into another gear:
PETERSON: I think that one of the greatest mistakes that America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote. We should have never turned that over to women.
It was a big mistake these women are voting in the wrong people. Theyre voting in people who are evil, who agree with them Men in the good old days understood the nature of the women, they were not afraid to deal with them.
Wherever women are taking over, evil reigns."
