Columnist Refers to First Lady Michelle Obama as a "Bitch" and a "James Brown Look-A-Like"

An excerpt from a Post at Michelle Obama Watch.

First we had Juan Williams and his "Stokley Carmichael in a dress" now we have "James Brown look-a-like.

"This was the original language(according to Huffington Post) over at Town Hall in a post by Burt Prelutsky called Let Us Not Praise Famous Men - Or Women
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?Huffington Post

If you read this passage you will see the edited version that currently resides on Town Hall
It’s not just the politicians, but also their mates, so long as they’re Democrats, who get the star treatment. 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.

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. Town Hall

It's only been two months and it seems to me that these crazies are just getting started. It'll be interesting to see how the "normal" white folk respond to their rabid cousins who are losing their minds over the Obamas. I give it another month and someone is going to say something so far over the top, it'll light a storm across the internets.

As I wrote on another blog, all of this anger is due to the fact that the right-wing crazoids can't use the N-word. But, I'm waiting for one of them to slip up. It's coming.

In my book, this is "far over the top" and if the internet ever has the intention of lighting "a storm" about racist comments, the time is now.

Geordi, White are people are gonna say the same things they always say to their "cousins", absolutly nothing.

Not going to lose sleep. This simply shows desperation on their part. They have no real reason to attack her so they resort to this. Not at all surprised. I sent a "nice" email via the link provided.

I agree with you; no one should lose any sleep over the desperation of racists. They can't believe that the white supremacy they have preserved for so long is slowly being shattered and the world is redefining the standards of beauty. Good riddance. Ignoring these fools is the greatest thing we can do. We all know how they thrive off publicity *Ann COulter, I am looking at you*

donnadara,
thanks for the link.

It get's worse. This woman called the Obamas "trash in the White House". I haven't heard a single word in the mainstream media about these insults to the FLOTUS, not even on MSNBC. This should be everywhere.

Tammy Bruce is irrelevant and is someone who might get called the same name that she's calling the Obamas. That may be part of the reason she's not getting the publicity she hoped to get by using this language.

March 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSandra

I hope all of these name callers have paid all of their taxes. The IRS may be looking into their tax returns VERY SOON. :)

Desperation is really ugly, isn't it?

March 24, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterdeborah

This is nothing comparedto the last 8 years of hate that people on the left has shown America.

March 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSST

Well although I'm not surprised by the statements, I'm surprised at the ease and nonconfrontational ways they are said. I hope that Ores. Obama has her back and will take care of these sorts in his usual nonchalant, suave manner.

who cares? these staements are from the ultimate '"haters". they can't stand to see an attractive, intelligent, poised, and POWERFUL Black woman in charge. they're so angry their heads may explode eventually . who cares about them? they spew pointless drivel. nothing to worry about.

March 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterLena

@Afrika: I agree, this is "over the top". But for the MSM to pick up the story, one of these fools is going to have to use the words: kill, hang, murder, etc. They will keep pushing the envelope...

Huffington was the same person who referred to Sasha Obama as 'sassy,' so she is just as guilty of such name calling. Black girls and womyn have been atrocized, tracked, degraded by such names as sassy. And when a Black girl is confident and secure in her "girlness" it becomes a problem for mainstream society.

Small things to a giant.

Michelle is "all that, plus tax", and they're mad because they cannot unhorse her.

Tammy Bruce? Who is she. Never heard of her. I guess the crazies have nothing else to do but start spewing hate. It probably (I say it because that is who she is) gets off on making a fool of herself. Nothng to worry about. Won't waste any paper or time with the likes of these idiots.

This is only the beginning. B 4 its all over this stuff will be mild to what's coming later. Just U wait and see...

I am so shocked at the statement, that I am at a loss for words. I am amazed at the level of mental illness that goes undetected in all walks of life. First of all, the fact that this person could think of such a thing and secondly, print it and thirdly not feel contrite floors me. I am not sure which is worse that he said it or that he believes himself to be putting forth relevant and insightful information. This is the height of self delusion.

People just sit back and let them show their stupidity...It's about time the media shows how they really are.

People must not read the Holy Bible anymore, If I remember right we all come from Adam and Eve. And who is he to JUDGE anyone. I to throught that this kind of behavior came from young kids that don't know any better, I guess some people just don't grow up. I AGREE WITH Z.

As was stated earlier , desperation brings out stupidity ! A hatemongerer only shows the depths of his own ignorance ," politically correctness " is just a mask 4 those that harbor racist feelings 2 hide behind . Beware of " Smiling Faces !! "

The election of President Obama brought out the best and the worse in America.. Sadly if you protest against abortion apparently, it gives you the license to say anything regardless of how anti-American or Christian it might be.

The comments Mr. Prelutsky made regarding our First Lady, Mr.’s Powell, Smith and Washington in addition to Ms' Rice and Winfrey, reflect the "Raciest" Mentality that emotionally insecure people are clinging too. The PAST is the Past. No matter how derogatory or inflammatory chatter, slavery is over. "IT'S IN THE PAST" Most of America has moved on.

In 2008 AMERICA ELECTED A BLACK WELL EDUCATED MAN AS OUR PRESIDENT. This was not Affirmative Action, this was the will of over 57% of Americans. Why not USE your platform to unite America, not divide us. You and those that listen to you are in the MINORITY.

I hope that these low-life, prejudice hearted, moronic,so-called christians are nowhere near California. I for one, don't want to be on the same coast and indeed not in the same state as these idiots when GOD decide to slap the devel out of them. The blowback will probably wipe out the whole state. You fools need Jesus!!!

The world will never change, we are good enough to help build this country, cook, clean, raise your children, drive you around in your cars, let your husbands rape us, and break up our families, but you don't think we are good enough to be your bosses, your president, your elected officials, your teachers, your homeowners, well hate to bust your bubble, but ha ha we have and still are showing you, we have made some inventions that you are using because you couldn't think of it yourself. So get over it!

First Lady Michelle Obama and her family are doing a most excellent job. She is intelligent, self-confident, poised, friendly, humble, caring, loyal, beautiful and many other positive adjective.s Incidentally, she is also an African American. This Prelutsky person and his circle (as he put it) should immediately apologize for this insult on the United State. The country and its government are one. He insulted every man, women, child, and principle in this Nation.

I agree with the person who wrote, "slavery is over, we have moved on." Maybe this bit of information my help him do so. (The Kingdoms of Africa, Timbuktu, Ethopia, Egypt, etc., lead the world for two thousand years or so. They had many slaves, light, white, brown, black and all colors in between. These slave were indeed servants but the humanity of these ancient people always respected human dignity. ) Here's a question that you bigots and racial haters can asked yourself in order to save you own souls because most of you are old, sickly (hatred brings physical and mental illness) and taxes and death is a sure thing -- What prayer can I pray for you to help you embrace all of God's people as true followers of Christ does?

This is an example of a psychotic coward.

The comment referring to First Lady Michelle Obama is a slap in the face to the nation. The USA is the country where people from other countries seek salvation from their country perils. They want the American dream but they will arrive and see we have the ignorant people that refuse to accept change. They will see that some Americans can't see past race, something that was a truly ugly pass in our history. Somethings may change but deep rooted hate just because of "Race", people please, lets ignore this clown because he is looking for attention.....

September 24, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterDan D.

Anyone that makes these type of statements about another human being because of the color of their skin is only projecting the ugliness they see in themselves. Everything they do and say will return unto them and they will reap their reward. There is no need for anyone to be concerned about the words spoken by these people, they have no meaning and they do not change the fact that the Obamas are just were they are suppose to be " In the Whitehouse" living large.

October 7, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterRacks

When I first read about this, I seethed internally. Then I read some of the comments and saw the majority condemned the statements. As a Christian, I hope "this person" knows that on "his" judgement day, he will answer and I hope I'm there waiting my turn.
