I think I just heard to stupidest thing, I've ever heard on the local news

I was watching WGN news in Chicago to see the weather but the first story they had was about protesters who are trying to get the Presidents attention while he's in town. They showed the Anti-life (my word) abortion protesters and not surprisingly they were all seniors but they idiot they showed on TV talking said that Obama is the worst President in history because he supports Abortion, even ones like Gosnell preformed. Da Fuck is wrong with these people?

...we had a tornado touch down in a local town and do some damage. The reporter says let me show you some of the devastation and picks up one of those cheap, white plastic chairs that was cracked as an example. WOW! Devastation!!!

Some are just nuts but then I'll get someone I know and think is reasonably intelligent making comments in front of me and my thought is the same as yours "Da Fuck is wrong with these people?"

In a 2011-2012 Pew research poll, the percent of Americans who think abortion should be illegal, by age:

18-29: 44%
30-49: 42%
50-64: 38%
65+: 43%

And this shouldn't surprise anyone.
