Carly Fiorina's attack on the left for linking the Planned Parenthood shooting to inflammatory right-wing rhetoric about the organization won our Outrageous Quote of the Week contest - by a huge margin.
In case you missed it, Fiorina said, "So, what I would say to anyone who tries to link this terrible tragedy to anyone who opposes abortion or opposes the sale of body parts is, this is typical left-wing tactics."
Of the 197 total votes cast, Fiorina earned 69 or 35%. That was more than double her nearest competitor (Kimberly Guilfoyle, who earned 27 for suggesting that the Obama administration was culpable in the Planned Parenthood shooting). I'd say this was a well-earned distinction for Ms. Fiorina, wouldn't you?

Check back later tonight for a new Outrageous Fox News Quote of the Week poll.
What inspired me is some Fox News talking head doing the standard pro-NRA meme guns will end terrorist attacks in a ‘fair and balanced’ ANHQ debate (against some no-name, Fox News fixture lib who typically makes an ass of himself – in other words a useful idiot).
Her fact-light proof was terrorists had no problem obtaining guns in France. Slam dunk proof gun laws always fail. Well, gun laws are only as strong as the weakest link. My understanding is the guns weren’t obtained in France. Ironically I learned from Fox’s little brother Sky News they got them in Belgium which is awash in firearms due to lax gun laws.
The 800 pound guerilla named “Irony” in the room is this standard NRA bulls—t talking point boils down to lax gun laws leave us so awash in a sea of guns the danger GOPTV™ constantly fear-mongers can only be countered with – wait for it – more guns!
