Megyn Kelly: Calling Aliens 'Undocumented' Like Calling Rape 'Non-Consensual Sex'
Megyn Kelly: Calling Aliens 'Undocumented' Like Calling Rape 'Non-Consensual Sex'

Plenty of conservatives are pretty upset over a campaign by the Society of Professional Journalists to convince reporters to stop using the terms "illegal aliens" and "illegal immigrants" in favor of "undocumented immigrant." But none are as livid as perpetually outraged Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who on Wednesday afternoon asked if journalists were going to start calling rapists "non-consensual sex partners" next.

"You could say that a burglar is an unauthorized visitor. You know, you could say that a rapist is a non-consensual sex partner which, obviously, would be considered offensive to the victims of those crimes," Kelly said. "So how far could you take this?"

"What if there was a push by the criminal defense... bar to re-brand the use of the word rapist to nonconsensual sex partner?" Kelly asks her guest. Jehmu Greene, the former president of the Women's Media Center, said that was like comparing "apples and oranges."

Kelly also expressed frustration over the politically correct language dominating American culture.

Just another blonde, empty-headed conservative woman. I swear, it's like there's a factory somewhere that produces idiot bobblehead blondes that look good on Fox News and will say whatever you want them to say.

3. I agree with her..
... not because of any particular stance on immigration, but because I'm sick of double-talk and euphemisms.

They are not "undocumented" unless they are here legally and they misplaced their papers. They are ILLEGAL.

5. Calling her an intelligent human being is like calling a rock Einstein.

Don Henley got it right.

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose, they love dirty laundry

Well, I could've been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear, give us dirty laundry

Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up, kick 'em all around

We got the bubbleheaded bleach-blonde, comes on at 5
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die, give us dirty laundry
