I think CNN meant for this to be serious (they used the word "controversial", not "stupid"), but I find them more stupid and funny.
For example:
On feminism
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
I, for one, welcome our lesbian, children killing, socialist, anti-family feminist witches.
