Wow, insulting the father? stay classy Fox.

Alright, listen up, you fucking assholes. That fucking girl right there is like fifteen fucking years old, and you fucking pieces of shit are molesting her while she’s on the fucking crowd. Your fucking mothers should be ashamed of themselves you pieces of shit. You should all be beaten down by everyone around you for being pieces of shit.

If I fucking see that shit again, I swear to god, I will point you out in the crowd and have everyone around you beat your fucking ass.

Now girls: feel free to crowdsurf safely.

Bill O'Reilly

Well fucking duh O'Reilly, but because you can't eliminate it is no excuse to not try to mitigate it. Maybe if you stopped seeing in black and white (oops, sorry, red and blue) you'd realize it.

Joe "The Plumber" Werzelbacher, in an open letter to the parents of those killed by Elliot Rodgers, referred to as "this sad and insane individual. I almost said 'Obama voter,' but I'm waiting for it to be official."

Christine O'Donnell, on the idea of running for the U.S. Senate again

This seems to be a running theme.

[HYHYBT]

Depends on what you mean by "remarkable." Certainly, there have been a lot if remarks made about them.

Kanye West on his in-laws, the Kardashians

I'd be gobsmacked, but I'm not sure anyone listens to him anymore apart from wondering what stupid crap comes out of his mouth next.

"Given the month that she just had, I actually doubt very much whether she will run for president in 2016."
—

RNC chairman Reince Priebus on HRC

Yup, putting up with GOP assholes preading lies and misinformation about her would be pretty taxing. Oh! you mean her hospital stay! I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about something that was the truth. Silly me.

"Are women themselves being taught to believe they were raped?...Yes...For every legitimate, actual rape claim there may be another that was not; a girl who cried rape."

Got a twofer today:

Ladies and gentlemen, an example of the ones being left behind in the changing world. Let's speed things up, shall we?

"I now believe global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends."

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajac

Racists? really? I'd say that you could do better, but you're not even the most popular part of your own show.

"Thirty days in the hospital? And when she reappears, she's wearing glasses that are only for people who have traumatic brain injury? We need to know what's up with that."
