FATS GETS PWNED BY ONE OF HIS OWN STATIONS!

KNST, the local Tucson station that airs a lot of wingnut freakshows, today issued a correction to the Fats Limbaugh show. Fats claimed that the AZ Supreme Court chief justice banned the use of the words "illegal" and "aliens" in the state's court rooms. At the 3 PM news break, KNST announced that Limbaugh was WRONG and the chief justice had NOT issued an opinion on the issue.

Here's what Fats said:

Story #6: Arizona Legal Thugs: Ban Saying "Illegal Aliens"

RUSH: "Arizona's Supreme Court chief justice has agreed to enforce the Hispanic Bar Association's demands of banning the terms 'illegal' and 'aliens' in all of the state's courtrooms. Claiming that the terms are inflammatory, the president of Arizona's Hispanic Bar Association ... has asked state Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor to stop using them at trials or hearings because they create perceptions of judicial bias. ... It further points out that no human being is illegal and that a national Hispanic journalism association has roundly criticized the reference for dehumanizing a segment of the population. The letter goes on to criticize the state's High Court for using the term 'illegals' in at least two opinions and the term 'illegal aliens' in dozens of others. [The letter] concludes with a list of acceptable and unacceptable terms relating to illegal immigration.

"Among those the group wants banned are: immigration crisis, immigration epidemic, open borders advocates, anchor babies and invaders. Among the acceptable terms are foreign nationals, unauthorized workers and human rights advocates." Again: "Arizona's Supreme Court chief justice has agreed to enforce [these] demands of banning the terms 'illegal' and 'aliens' in all of the state's courtrooms." Wait, unless you're an American criminal, unless you are an American criminal and you have committed an American crime. If you're a natural citizen and you've committed a crime, then they can say what that you did was illegal, but if you are... Hang on, let me get the approved list here. I put the approved list.

Hang on just a second, Snerdley. Ahem, ahem, ahem. If you are a human rights advocate, or if you are a foreign national, or if you are an unauthorized worker and you go into court in Arizona, the words "illegal" and "alien" cannot be used to describe you and what you've done because the Hispanic bar asked the judge out there to enforce this and the judge has. I'm just telling you. You know, we're sitting here, folks... (interruption) Illegal is throughout our whole legal process. The word illegal has a definite meaning but can only now be applied to natural born Americans in Arizona. (laughing) I don't know what to do here, folks. You see, I know it's irritating people that I'm laughing about this stuff.

Because I know there are people genuinely scared about what where we we're headed, and they feel like this is a country be they do not recognize anymore already. I can relate. I understand how you feel here, but we had our chance to stop this stuff. The language thugs have won another round. That's exactly right. Of course, I don't want to get their title wrong. (muttering) The Arizona Hispanic Bar Association with a bunch of legal thugs has also seen to it that they prevailed against the chief judge of the Arizona Supreme Court. So look, these guys won the election. You win some; you lose some. But this is what we're going to have to deal with.
