Jesse Lee Peterson: "I think we all agree that Barack Obama was elected by, mostly by black racists and white guilty people."

From the February 3 edition of Fox News' Hannity:

It seems that Jesse Lee Peterson was brought on Fox by white racists and black self-haters.
Actually, I did notice that this guy was so irrational that Sean Hannity didn't quite agree with him, although he seemed willing to listen to him.
Well Peterson, good luck on your anti-Obama tour. I never even heard of you.
Um.... Reverend...
First of all..... you are on FoxNoise... this all by itself steals away any possible credibility you may have had!
Second.... How much money did it cost Fox for you to be so willing to sell out to the white man...I can only imagine the thousands of slaves/civil rights activists that died all those years ago for you to be so pathetic in your attack on a fellow black man
Third... you are on FoxNoise... this all by itself steals away any possible credibility you may have had!
Forth... I sure as hell hope the juice was worth the squeeze pal... I seriously doubt you made any friends with your little stint on Fox!
Fifth... I'm a white guy... I have zero guilt having voted for President Obama... in fact... if I had voted for McCain... I would have had a reason to feel guilty... so I voted for the correct guy.
Sixth... Enjoy this Sunday when you have to explain yourself to your flock
I don't think you can believe in God and condemn 53% of voters for exercising their God-given right to vote. Hey, aren't we "one nation under God" after all? I assume, "reverend", you supported John McCain, a man who cheated on his wife and performed poorly at the military academy. Talking about "people not willing to work".
Lower-income people usually vote Democratic, a greater percentage of blacks are lower-income, therefore, more blacks vote Democratic, therefore most black voters voted for Obama. Hell, why shouldn't they? The lower and middle class have been getting fiisted for years now. If you make the most, you should pay the most in taxes.
This one isn't hard, he says 2 completely contradictory things:
Black racists vote for Barack Obama
Black racists wouldnt vote for a black republican.
So in what way are they racists?
It's a good thing no one asked him to back up his claims with statistics, evidence, logic, or anything but conjecture and wishful thinking.
Who attacked Justice Thomas during his confirmation hearings? White Democrats and blacks - he wasn't black enough because he was conservative.
Who attacked Condoleezza Rice - white Democrats, blacks, and Muslims - to the white Democrats and blacks she wasn't black enough, to the Muslims she was an ape.
In an earlier post Michael Steele is characterised as a quote "token negro" - you don't consider that racist?
Welfare, subsidized housing, food stamps, medical, poor public education - these are the new chains of the government to keep the poor as slaves sucking at the teat of goverment.
Did you know Dr. Martin Luther King was a conservative Republican? The reason - the Democrat party supported racist policies and segregation. It was in fact the Republican party that provided the votes for Civil rights in the senate and congress.
The beloved tree hugger - Al Gore's father voted against every civil rights bill that made it to the senate floor - Including the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
To quote from another post here " I think they operate under the principle "never overestimate the intelligence of the public." "
I have yet to read an editorial or post here that displays any intelligence - to this group everyone is wrong, except yourselfs!
There is a cure for this display of ignorance:
- Read the local newspaper
- Watch your local and national news
- Watch o'rielly and hannity
- listen to Rush
- read the transcripts of the politicians speeches you like - and more importantly those ou don't like
- evaluate the coverage of the news from all perspectives, then make an educated observation.
When you want to make a point or statement at least take the time to not sound illiterate:
"Fox always trots out their token to "Negro" to say things "white" folks would be called racist for."
I'll make another observation - the person that posted the above token negro statement is a racist. The simple fact that you trivialize someone with that label displays an ignorance.
What do you call Mexicans or Asians when you use your double quotes ""? What are you thinking when you can't say what you think?
I have registered and visited this site twice - this is my last time. I don't have the time or patience to deal with such ignorance.
Raygun,
Well, there's certainly a lot of things you say that I suppose we're to take at your word, no?
Who attacked... and we're supposed to just buy this? You have some proof that whites dem's and blacks attacked these people because of the reasons YOU give? Any proof at all?
Typically you take something and make it sound like there's nothing else to it. I suggest you read up on King and black republicans during that time period before you put all your eggs into that one statement.
Here, I'll help:
King voted for Kennedy, and Johnson and publicly denounced Barry Goldwater.
What the hell does Al Gore's father have to do with Al Gore? But hey, if that seems like a good argument for you then all the best.
"Welfare, subsidized housing, food stamps, medical, poor public education - these are the new chains of the government to keep the poor as slaves sucking at the teat of goverment."
According to who? You? Fox news? Rush, Sean?
Deregulation, being in bed with lobbyists, these are the new chains of government to keep the rich rich (and richer) and to keep the poor poor and to make the middle class join the class of the poor.
But of course, you won't be back because you have no interest whatsoever in peeling that layer of ignorance from your eyes. But if you do, a suggestion: No need to write some long diatribe, just moo, we'll know it's you.
Who attacked Justice Thomas during his confirmation hearings? White Democrats and blacks - he wasn't black enough because he was conservative.
Umm, no, actually I think it was mostly Anita Hill who was "attacking" Justice Thomas because he was a sexual harasser, and someone who didn't deserve to be nominated to the highest court in the land, but alas, he was so bad, he was confirmed by a Democratically controlled Senate. So that sort of blows away your entire argument.
Who attacked Condoleezza Rice - white Democrats, blacks, and Muslims - to the white Democrats and blacks she wasn't black enough, to the Muslims she was an ape.
Where did anyone call Rice an ape? I've never even heard that one. Most democrats that I know, and I know a lot of them, had some respect for Rice, as being a smart woman, who knew a lot about the Soviet Union. She has also been attacked for failing to assert her intelligence, and falling in line with anything Bush told her to do. We didn't attack her because she's black, we attacked her because she was incompetent in the roles that she was chosen to be in during the Bush administration. Show me one attack where it was because she was black. You can't do it.
In an earlier post Michael Steele is characterised as a quote "token negro" - you don't consider that racist?
Do I consider the term "token negro" racist? Yes, but in this situation, it fits. Why? Look at what percentage of black Americans are republicans. There aren't too many at all.
Welfare, subsidized housing, food stamps, medical, poor public education - these are the new chains of the government to keep the poor as slaves sucking at the teat of goverment.
Really? Because, I'm pretty sure that these programs were mostly in place to help out the poor, feed them, give them shelter, and you know, take care of the "lesser" amongst us in order to make us a better country.
Did you know Dr. Martin Luther King was a conservative Republican? The reason - the Democrat party supported racist policies and segregation. It was in fact the Republican party that provided the votes for Civil rights in the senate and congress.
First, I can tell you're a dittohead because you use the term "Democrat" party. You lose right there. MLK was a republican, but ask yourself why, and who he voted for before he was assassinated. As others have pointed out, he voted for Kennedy and Johnson. Why was he a republican? Mostly because where he was from, the racists were democrats at that time, they shortly turned over to the republican party after Kennedy and Johnson gave black people their rights under the Constitution. Also, southern democrats were democrats because Lincoln was a republican. You guys should really read a book or 2 before trying to disseminate these silly and refutable stupid talking points.
The beloved tree hugger - Al Gore's father voted against every civil rights bill that made it to the senate floor - Including the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Al Gore's father was a tree hugger? The way you composed your above sentence, this is what you would have us to believe. What does Al Gore's father have to do with Al Gore? Nothing. And actually, if you read history, and look at the votes on the civil rights act of 1965, Gore's father DID vote for the act of 1965, and claimed that his nay vote on the 1964 act was the biggest mistake he ever made. He also would not sign the Southern Manifesto proposed by Strom Thurmond and others.
To quote from another post here " I think they operate under the principle "never overestimate the intelligence of the public." "
What are you talking about here?
I have yet to read an editorial or post here that displays any intelligence - to this group everyone is wrong, except yourselfs!
You must not be reading close enough, or your reading comprehension is not so good. This must also include your post, which is bereft of anything resembling, intelligence, or facts.
There is a cure for this display of ignorance:
- Read the local newspaper
I do. Every single day. And many other papers as well.
- Watch your local and national news
I do this every single day as well.
- Watch o'rielly and hannity
You're kidding right? Because these 2 are the biggest liars on TV, and present hardly any information worth remembering. I now know where you're coming from.
- listen to Rush
HAHAHAHAHA! Dam, that was the best joke I've heard all day long. Listen to him why? So I can hear the confirmed lies tumbling from his mouth on a daily basis. If you're using Rush for his "facts" and "truth", sorry sir, you cannot be helped. You SHOULD read this site more.
- read the transcripts of the politicians speeches you like - and more importantly those ou don't like
I do.
- evaluate the coverage of the news from all perspectives, then make an educated observation.
I have, and the media is severely tilted right. Look at the examples you use, and say we should use. Rush, Hannity, and O'Reilly. 3 big time confirmed right wing hacks and liars.
When you want to make a point or statement at least take the time to not sound illiterate:
You mean, like yourself?
"Fox always trots out their token to "Negro" to say things "white" folks would be called racist for."
I'll make another observation - the person that posted the above token negro statement is a racist. The simple fact that you trivialize someone with that label displays an ignorance.
Are they, or is it just true?
What do you call Mexicans or Asians when you use your double quotes ""? What are you thinking when you can't say what you think?
What do I call Mexicans? I call them, Mexicans.
I have registered and visited this site twice - this is my last time. I don't have the time or patience to deal with such ignorance.
Goodbye and good luck. Sounds like O'Reilly, you're equating what commenters, such as myself, post with what is actually going on at this site. If you don't have the time to deal with ignorance, why are you watching Hannity and O'Reilly, and listening to Rush. Those are the 3 "Wise Men" of ignorance and hate.
I have yet to read an editorial or post here that displays any intelligence - to this group everyone is wrong, except yourselfs!
Classic.
To the rest of us however, what he said was, in a word, insane. Time to call in the guys in the white jackets.
"I think we all agree that Barack Obama was elected by, mostly by black racists and white guilty people."
Considering this reverend was sitting in a Fox studio, I think we can figure out what "we all" means, and have to admit that he was probably completely accurate in his statement.
Raygun- oh, really, what's the point? You're gone. Get therapy. Seriously.
where did this guy get his stats/info? we all agree? i dont even come close. i like how he gets his claim of spreading socialism in. when is someone going to dispute this common republican scare subject. first of all, I dont think anyone who doesnt pay a dime in income taxes is going to get a check in the mail, unless we do the same thing GW did twice since 9/11 under his "stimulus plan". health care should be a right not a privelege so call it what you want. if it is socialism so what. free government police, fire protection, libraries, parks? they are just araid the money spigot will be shut off
