We've got 11 quotes of outrageousness for you to judge this week, dear readers. If you missed Sarah Palin's pitch for herself on The View, do check it out here. Also, Tucker Carlson smearing Nobel and Pulitzer prize winner Toni Morrison, Hobby Lobby baloney and more. They're all outrageous but it's up to you to decide which one is THE MOST outrageous.
This week's nominees are:
Tucker Carlson on Toni Morrison: “Anybody who takes Toni Morrison seriously is obviously not qualified to teach kids.”
Steve Doocy on why the Benham brothers’ show was cancelled: “We know that they got bullied by left extremists.”
Megyn Kelly, supporting the Little Sisters of the Poor opposition to the ACA birth control mandate while pushing lie that the ACA includes abortions. “Should the nuns be forced to pay for abortions?”
Liz Cheney discussing the dissenting opinions in the Hobby Lobby and Wheaton College Supreme Court rulings: "The dissents of both of these cases, though, show the passion that’s there, but also, frankly, a legal theory that we haven’t seen before, which is essentially a theory that says abortion rights trump everything else. Abortion rights are more important than the free exercise of religion."
Sarah Palin, pitching herself for a role on The View: "It’d be so much fun to shake it up taking on issues that make audiences objectively consider all sides, and I’d do it with my own real-life groundedness, candor and commonsense that I’m known for. Media needs that today, versus the condescension that oozes from TV and radio. I hear everyone recently got canned from The View, maybe a show like that needs a punch of reality and a voice of reason from America’s heartland to knock some humble sense into their scripts. You know, someone willing to go rogue."
Jesse Watters to Gay Pride Parade marcher: “Can I have a straight pride parade if I wanted to?”
Dr. Keith Ablow, discussing Hillary Clinton:
We can’t even get Hillary Clinton to tell us what the Coke-bottle lenses were for. She’s out there saying things out of hand like, ‘What difference does it make if it was a movie or not?’ Which seems to me to have been a disinhibited statement. She’s wearing these thick lenses. We can’t find out from her, was that due to head trauma?
…She looks like a different woman! …Then if you said something outrageous, like ‘Who cares what the truth is’ – we say... Come on, you’ve gotta come to the neurologist.
Sarah Palin, urging Congress to impeach Obama: “This is a bipartisan issue… Using the one tool that Congress does have… are articles of impeachment. Let’s get goin’ on that!
Elisabeth Hasselbeck, phoning in from her vacation to react to Rosie O’Donnell’s re-joining The View: “What could ruin a vacation more than to hear news like this?”
Ben Shapiro, discussing the Israeli/Palestinian conflict: “This is an anti-Israel administration. It’s the first administration in American history that is obviously anti-Israel. It’s borderline a Jew-hating administration.”
Bob Beckel, discussing Chinese hackers: “As usual, we bring ‘em over here and we teach a bunch of Chinamen – uh, Chinese people how to do computers. They go back to China and they hack into us, right?”
Make your selection below.
But Sarah, poor Sarah. She lost out for the rightie slot on “The View” to Megan McCain! Oh, the humiliation!
Good riddance.
