Ever heard of Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson? He is a hateful, clueless pastor who makes frequent appearances on Sean Hannity's radio and television shows. Hannity is on the board of his BOND organization and says he is proud to be associated with him.
Reverend Peterson's purpose it come on air and say racist things against black people -- but get this, he's black himself. So that provides cover for the white people who love to hear him spew that hate. Then Hannity can say: I didn't say it, a black man did. Very clever.
If you thought Rev. Wright was divisive (and Hannity apparently thinks so because he talks about it every single night on his show), wait till you get a load of Rev. Peterson. Check out his unbelievable quotes below:
So, will Hannity denounce and reject Rev. Peterson? Will he step off the board of this hateful pastor's organization? Will he disassociate himself from him? Yeah, right. Don't hold your breath.

1. Cenk...
Here's a clue: Don't vote for Sean Hannity in November.
Who gives a rat's ass what some talking head's pastor had to say?
Sheehs, Cenk...how friggin' desperate are you?

2. Cenk, you're no Sean Hannity. You may take that as a compliment, but it's not meant as one.

3. Oooh! Ooooh! OOooh! Cenk! Cenk! Cenk!
Did you hear what Homer Simpson's pastor said?
Oh my gawd! It'll make you pee your pink little panties.

4. OMG, Paul...
You are so right! Listen to this:

I think we should listen to Reverend Lovejoy on this one!
Cheers!

5. Well, Sean Hannity is just a pundit, so I agree that it doesn't matter to me. Hannity is not in any elected office (thank God). Yes, this pastor is an idiot - but then why would it surprise us that a neocon like Hannity would like this guy?
You are correct about one thing, Cenk - some white conservatives love to hear black conservatives put down other blacks. It reinforces their own racist views - then they can say it's not just me, other black people agree with me.

6. you young turks could never fill the shoes of shawn hannity you morons paterson is right instead of the lazy welfare blacks standing on their own two feet they waited for somebody to come save them. when we all know it takes fema days to put together a rescue they could have walked out until they found help they choose to live in those places that the state of louisiana was responsible for not the federal government. morons where was mayor nigger nagin in his pent house hiding thats where. where was the democratic governor of the state hiding thats where. she let this happen and let bush take the blame for it. morons washington dc is a long way from new orleans the state capital is a lot closer. it will happen again guess you will blame the next president even if it is a democrat. those blacks looted rioted killed raped and destroyed new orleans but i guess that was excusable because they had bad day or two boo the fucking hoo. young turks huh more like young liberal cock sucking queer jerks. those niggers were nothing but drug dealer welfare recepients who did not have a fucking clue let down by their own state and city authorities. guess you can do a better job put your stinking names on a ballot you loud mouth college liberals with hillary clinton talking points up your ass's

7. Paul... here is the point that Cenk is making that you are missing:
The right is howling mad that Pastor Wright made racist comments and Obama did not immidately and utterly reject him (and if he had, they would have been calling Obama callow and cold hearted). Hannity gleefully associates with peterson, who says far more excessively hateful comments about blacks, but doesn't remove himself from Peterson. Thus, Cenk's point is the hypocracy of pundints like Hannity should probably mean that their clamour about Obama is just so much more hot air.

8. Who gives a rats ass about Sean Hannity's pastor? He is not running for President...You young jerks are grasping at straws...Face it... You Leftist liberals F**ked up when you put upfront two of the weakest and most unpopular candidates that you could possibly think of to try to win an election. Of course when the Republicans beat your sorry asses in November...all that we are going to hear for the next four years is...how you were so cheated... the motto of the new Democratic Party-"We are not to blame for anything." What a bunch of pathetic fools!

9. LOL, now every Conservative is going to be blamed for going to a Christian or Methodist, or Catholic church that has a raving and drooling Hate ridden pastor in it, LOL, Just like Obama does.
Inompotent Islamic idiot. You're dumb as, hate driven post board only incites people to hatred. Keep on pressing everyones buttons and forget the real danger. Islamic Jihad, and Islam in general.
Air America, The Us governments biggest pork barrel on the air. The Bias is so outrageous, and the hatred spoken on the airwaves is so bad, they can not get corporate sponsers, so the US Gov had to bail themout since 2000 in what the Liberals state as freedom of speech and equality. Well if you're message clicked with anyone, maybe you woul dnot need to be pais for with out tax dollars. You do not see Clear Channel crying to the Gov Like Al Frankens big idea.

11. I LOVE SEAN H. HE MAKES ME HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

12. It is not the governments responcibility to get those people out of the hurricane. they were told to evacuate...they didn't listen. i feel bad about what happened to them...but it was their fault for not getting out.THEY WERE WARNED. The entire nation knew that the levies weren't going to hold. The constitution does not require the government to babysit.
eric at 12:22AM on Mar 30th 2008
13. Cenk --why do we care about some random pastor on a TV show ?? --Hannity is not running for Pres. neither is Colmes !!!
Obama however shows poor judgement by staying in a church where the rev. spews hate towards other races and makes anti America comments....Who wants a Pres. that is so brain dead he didn't know what was going on around him for 20 years ????

14. Cenk-the pompous windbag is at it again.
Rev Jesse Lee Petersen is not asociated with anyone running for President of USA. Rev Petersen is Black and talking about other blacks is not being Racist. Rev Petersen does not teach hate, anti Jew anti USA anti Italian etc.
Rev Wright is a hateful racist who was Obama's Pastor for 20 years and Obama is running for President
I find nothing wrong with what Rev Wright had said about fellow blacks, he was criticizing other blacks behavior. I even see nothing wrong with anything Rev Peterson said in your cherry picked comments(no taped speech of Peterson)
Rev Petersen is head of Brotherhood Organization of New Destiny (basically Jesse Jackson's sworn enemy)
Quote from Rev Petersen
"I am an American, not an Africo American."
"It is not racism but lack of moral character that causes problems for black people"
"The black leadership succeeds by keeping black folks angry"
"On reparations, the fact is all the slaves are dead"
On Katrina "prior to 40 years ago, such a pathetic performance by the black community in the time of crisis would have been inconceivable. The first response would have been from Black men. They would take care of their families, take them to safety, then help the rest of the community"
On Katrina "Responsibility to perform legally and pratically fell first on the Mayor of New Orleans. We are familar with Mayor Nagin, the black who yells at Bush for not doing Nagins job. Facts show Nagin failed to follow through on his own emergency plan which acknowledged thousands of poor people had no way to leave the city. You did happen to see the some 2000 parked school buses, unused and underwater. How much does it really take to put people on buses and leave town? This is blaming other blacks for black problems, not always blaming others for your own mistakes.
Rev Petersen also wrote a best selling book "Scam, How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America"
Cenk-Rev Peterson is out trying to help blacks HELP THEMSELVES, through critical commentary-truth rather then preaching hate america,hate whites, hate italians, hate hate hate.
Rev Peterson says Blacks are obligated to help themselves and not depend on government to care for them.
So what is wrong with teaching self help as compared to Obama's Rev Wright who teachers hate?

15. I totally agree with the o'le Rev Paterson on the hurricane katrina issue. There's noway, cenk can compared the rev jerimiah wrights views with Rev Paterson. rev wright preached bigotry and hatred for over 20 somethink years over the membship of barak huiessen obama,he preached vile at the american people. barak and his evil wife have demonstrated over and over that they hates america, they have aligned and associated themselves with folks who love islam and hates america: black phanters party, louis farakanan, rev jeremiah wright, and rezco. and the American people wants this hatred to become President of the United States, I can only imagine barak being president, I would believe that GOD would have to come down from heaven in human form to stop a war that would evaporate into world wide death and destruction.
