Fox News talking heads cast a wide net of outrageousness last week: marriage, the IRS, religion, tax inversion, immigration and even The Bachelorette were all fodder for outrageous quotes. But, as usual, only one quote can be The Outrageous Quote of the Week. Determining which one is up to you, dear readers! Check out the latest after the jump.
Tucker Carlson on unwed mothers:
“It’s so funny, it seems to be getting even as we are becoming more negligent about our children, letting them go off on video games or having kids without being married which is the ultimate in negligence in my opinion, we seem to be at the same time more uptight about kids.”
Tucker Carlson on the IRS monitoring election activity by tax exempt churches: ”This is using the power of government to go after faith.”
Bill O’Reilly falsely claiming the government doesn’t deport undocumented criminals: “As soon as an illegal alien commits a crime, no matter what the crime is, on the next plane unless it’s a felony and you try them and put them in prison. We don’t give them probation and let them walk out the door. That’s insane.”
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, on the IRS and churches: “The IRS could be coming to a church near you and you can thank the atheists for that.”
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, arguing on behalf of companies who go offshore to avoid U.S. taxes: “Instead of admitting that the environment here to maintain business and profit in the United States is bad, the president then is blaming companies for doing what they need to do.”
Geraldo Rivera: “What a woman brings to a marriage more than anything else to a relationship is her youth.”
Megyn Kelly, forgetting how much she and Fox News have helped promote Obama’s impeachment: “This might be the first White House in history that’s trying to start the narrative of impeaching their own president.”
Bob Beckel discussing Bachelorette Andi Dorfman: “She’s a slut.”
Megyn Kelly, distorting Nancy Pelosi’s comments that we should try to engage Qatar as a Middle East peace broker because they see Hamas as a humanitarian organization: “Nancy Pelosi seemed to suggest over the weekend that Hamas, which we recognize as a terrorist group, is actually out to do good.”
Pat Buchanan, criticizing President Obama for honoring Muslims’ contribution to the U.S. on the Muslim holiday, Eid-al-Fitr, “Look, this was a Christian country when it was founded. It was a non-religious state but it was a predominantly Christian country and it’s ceasing to be so and I don’t think that’s a good thing for America or the world.”
Andrea Tantaros, attacking Nancy Pelosi for criticizing Republican hostility toward child immigrants: “You could argue yes, she is not for American kids because these immigrant kids take away services or she’s pro rape because a lot of these young girls coming across the border are getting raped and she doesn’t want to fix the loophole in the law to do anything about it.”
