• Criticism and Controversy

  In March 2009 a Townhall.com regular contributor, Bert Prelutsky - a former television writer, came under criticism from the popular blog Huffington Post. In his original column, Prelutsky intimated that the Obama's new dog might have to play second fiddle to the highest-ranking White House female dog, Michelle Obama. However, Chris Kelly's analysis didn't stop with this one incident. In his review of Prelutsky, Kelly points out that there have been numerous times that Prelutsky refers to black people in a degrading manner and says things would be much worse off if America really was a nation of racists.Huffington Post: Townhall: Michelle Obama is a Bitch, Get it?
