?!?!? / Politics / Girls Only! The Next Front in the War on Women: Repealing the 19th Amendment
Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, May 8, 2012 at 11:29 AM
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....“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.”
Despite his statements being online for more than a month, Hannity welcomed Peterson on his show last Tuesday.
