Townhall: Michelle Obama is a B****, Get It?
Chris Kelly

Burt Perlutsky was a TV writer a long time ago. Then he aged out of it and became a crank. This wasn't one of those major loses like Steinbeck. Now he writes a column for Townhall.com, the popular website owned by a Christian radio network.

Here's something from his current offering:

Take Michelle Obama...please. Every time I turn around, there she is on a magazine cover. Now, normally, like the Mafia, I lay off the spouses, but inasmuch as this particular spouse attended the same racist church as her hubby for 20 years, I'll make an exception in her case. After all, in spite of the fact that affirmative action got her an Ivy League degree and a $7,000-a-week salary and, moreover, has sent billions of dollars for no particularly good reason to Africa, she insists this is a mean country. The burning question in my circle is: if the First Family gets a female dog, will she be the First Bitch or will she have to settle for second place?

Get it? Because "bitch" had two meanings!

Ah, Christian-sponsored humor. That's not just funny. That's Jesus funny.

Weird that Burt Perlutsky doesn't work more. Because that "take my wife... please" bit is also pure dynamite. Must be ageism.

Naturally, the left-wing media is now trying to convince us that this James Brown-look-alike has all the allure, glamour and fashion sense of Jackie Kennedy.

She's not pretty, for heaven's sakes! She's black! She's a black bitch!

You can read the rest at Townhall. The Internet home of culture warriors Dennis Prager, Bill Bennett and Michael Medved.

(Who have all, by the way, written about Barack Obama's horrible, shocking association with that racist hatemonger Jeremiah Wright. Who called America an ugly black bitch. Oh wait, he didn't.)

(They've also all written columns bemoaning how angry and mean liberal humor is.)

If you read Burt Perlutsky's columns, you'll see that he isn't a racist; he just has a lot of thoughts -- I mean a lot -- about how black people should behave. If Langston Hughes had talked about black people as much at Burt Perlutsky does, someone would have told him to sit down.

Here's another Burt Perlutsky column from Townhall:

If we were a racist society, Oprah Winfrey, your fairy godmother, certainly wouldn't be a billionaire; she'd be fetching someone's mint julep. And Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice wouldn't grow up to be secretaries of state; they'd be sweeping out the stables. And Will Smith and Denzel Washington wouldn't be movie stars; they'd be in the fields picking cotton.

That's awfully big of us, letting Denzel Washington rise so high above his station. Thanks, Burt. Thanks Townhall...

SNIP

...Oh, the Christian broadcasters who own Townhall, the site that says Michelle Obama is a bitch and Will Smith is lucky he's not picking cotton is Salem Communications. You can thank them here.

15. See what you mean . . . but do think that we need an FCC contact in there . . .
Edited on Mon Mar-23-09 01:41 PM by defendandprotect
I did reply, of course . . .

But, these people are being put on the air by the same people we're complaining to!

Meanwhile, this kind of inhuman, vicious right-wing crap isn't going to advance

their cause at all except with KKK minded listeners!

In some respects I wonder if we're helping them when this is made more widely known?


See if you can figure this out -- !!

6. Un-fucking-believable ............
I just wrote to Salem, thank you, and still, my mouth is hanging open.

Why is this Purlutsky allowed out from under his rock??

What a vile nightmare.

Good that you posted it. I probably would have missed it, otherwise.

Thanks.............

7. Logic: Since Oprah is doing well, there is no racism in America.
Well, it works for people who want to remain in the ignorant bliss of the bush years. That is until the bush's banker cronies come asking for a handout.

It's unwise not to face the facts. In particular when it comes to these so-called "christians." They are not good people, they are not Christian and they are certainly not devoted to God.

8. Was it Michelle Obama or affirmative action that "has sent billions of dollars for no particularly
good reason to Africa"? I also wonder if affirmative action could get me an Ivy league degree. Do you think I'd have to at least show up on the campus?

11. I couldn't parse that sentence. Is this guy a writer?
Edited on Mon Mar-23-09 01:36 PM by Jim__
I think he meant the country sent it. But there's really no telling.

10. Burt Prelutsky is Jewish, not Christian.
He used to write for the Jewish Journal of LA.

Prelutsky said:

If we were a racist society, Oprah Winfrey, your fairy godmother, certainly wouldn't be a billionaire; she'd be fetching someone's mint julep. And Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice wouldn't grow up to be secretaries of state; they'd be sweeping out the stables. And Will Smith and Denzel Washington wouldn't be movie stars; they'd be in the fields picking cotton.



But shouldn't that same line of reasoning apply to anti-semitism? If successful blacks are proof that racism is dead, then aren't successful Jews proof that anti-semitism is also dead?


Oh, I know. That's diffrunt...

12. Despicable. They are despicable. Mrs. Obama is a VERY classy lady.
And it's already been, more or less, said about Mrs. Palin. I recall Palin's pale fearmongering in the debate, especially about jobs. That turned me off - her moose manure was too much.

18. The Obamas have done better in life than Burt Prelutsky has...
... and he can't stand it. It confounds his little neocon brain. He feels threatened, and the result is vicious outbursts that bring shame on his publishers.


Frankly, I think the guy sounds like a drunk: degraded, belligerent -- you know how chronic boozers talk.

19. BINGO.

14. Back in the 70s, when I was a budding freelance writer,
I interviewed Burt Prelutsky for a magazine article. He wrote for the old Dragnet show, and for the M.A.S.H. TV show, among others. I drove down to Santa Barbara and interviewed him over lunch at a restaurant on State Street.

A more egotistical fellow would be difficult to find. According to him, the TV industry would have always be crap if it weren't for Burt Prelutsky. It was such a bad interview that I begged off writing the article, even though I could have used the money.

Now, he's bloviating about politics. I'm sure he sees himself as some sort of conservative leader, instead of the self-aggrandizing moron that he is.

24. Oh, hell no! In fact, I had to pick up the check...
He figured it was me getting paid for the article, I guess. Fortunately, there was nothing too expensive there.

16.  I wonder what she would be..
if she were white and had a pastor he didn't like. He doesn't even think that he is a racist like most whom are racist this portion alone

"If we were a racist society, Oprah Winfrey, your fairy godmother, certainly wouldn't be a billionaire; she'd be fetching someone's mint julep. And Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice wouldn't grow up to be secretaries of state; they'd be sweeping out the stables. And Will Smith and Denzel Washington wouldn't be movie stars; they'd be in the fields picking cotton."

So in his mind if you are black you should stay in your place and that is picking cotton or being a slave because if you are white you are deserving of all of the good things on the earth but blacks were made to be his slave..

17. As a matter of fact ...
didn't blacks build the wealth of this country for free. If she has a so called affirmitive action degree wouldn't she have to earn it. This dumb ass needs to get a degree.

25. They're using it as a racial slur.
Bitches and hoes. They never fail to find the bottom, and then sink a few inches beneath it.
