"The Taliban in Afghanistan are whipping up Muslim fanatics, telling them that 'evil America' wants to burn the Koran. It's incredible that one loon in Florida can cause so much damage by threatening to burn the Koran. What can the President do? Fox News analyzed various presidential powers, and the sad truth is that President Obama can not stop that hateful man. So once again we have a clash of civilizations. The Muslim world is largely run by dictators - burn the Koran over there, lose your life! And many Muslims don't understand our Constitution. This has been going on since the founding of America; we have always run up against political systems different from our own and despots who despise us because we are free people. Now one lone American nut is likely to cause even more people to die at the hands of crazy jihadists. Talking Points knows there is no defeating insanity - you just hope you can contain it. The guy in Florida is a nut; Muslim jihadists are out of their minds; and we are threatened by them."

The Factor was joined by Fox News correspondent Wendell Goler, who attempted to parse President Obama's words at Friday's press conference. "Without actually saying 'build it,'" Goler reported, "he made pretty clear that he thinks it would be wise to go ahead and build the mosque. He said that if we're going to convince the Muslim world that it's Al Qaeda and not Islam we're at war with, we need to make sure they understand that we don't see their religion as offensive." FNC's Carl Cameron laid out President Obama's present dilemma. "His argument is that if you can put a church or a synagogue there, you ought to be able to put a mosque. People are already viewing a threat - if the mosque is not allowed to be built, then the worldwide decision will be that the United States is at war with Islam."

Fox News analysts Dana Perino and Leslie Marshall evaluated the effectiveness of President Obama's press conference. "The worst part of it," Perino said, "is that I don't think the President got anything out of this. The only news that came out of it is that now we're back talking about the mosque, and he said he hadn't finished anything on Gitmo. There was no coherent message, and I think this was one of the worst weeks in his presidency." But Marshall contended that President Obama's economic reassurance was necessary. "He's constantly reminding the American people, 'I know you're impatient but hang with me, this is going to work.' It doesn't hurt to keep the American people in the loop and address their concerns." The Factor questioned whether the President actually reassured the folks: "Americans are basically saying, 'yeah, you inherited a bad deal but you made it worse by ramming this health care thing down people's throats and ignoring the economy.' He didn't prioritize correctly."

A Planned Parenthood insider claims the organization grossly overcharged the federal government for various services. The Factor asked Geraldo Rivera to explain the allegations. "Planned Parenthood frequently gets targeted," Rivera reported, "by people who are opposed to its basic mission. However, there is no doubt that Planned Parenthood is under investigation for gross financial irregularities. Here's what they do - they spend $300,000 on oral contraceptives, but they charge the government $900,000. Is it a crime? Maybe, maybe not. Planned Parenthood argues that they have the right to include overhead." The Factor urged the federal government to stop funneling taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood: "Those of us who are pro-life have to pay for birth control and abortions, but that's not bad enough. Now they gouge the taxpayer by charging the government three times as much as the pills cost. It's outrageous! The government shouldn't be involved with Planned Parenthood at all."

Fox Business anchor John Stossel opined on the incipient war between Health and Human Services boss Kathleen Sebelius and some health insurance companies. "She says if you raise prices too much," Stossel explained, "you're just trying to hurt the Obama plan and we're going to take away part of your business. The government says you must cover 25-year-olds on their parents' plan and you must cover mental health services, and the insurance companies are saying they have to charge more." Stossel advised states to loosen restrictions on insurance companies. "There should be a competitive market and they should get rid of rules that forbid insurance companies to sell out of state. Let there be competition!" But The Factor wasn't quite ready to hold a bake sale for health insurers: "I'm not feeling sorry for these insurance companies, they're making a ton of dough."

Three weeks after his hugely successful rally in Washington, Glenn Beck offered his prescription for restoring America. "I'm a small government guy," Beck said, "and I don't want Washington telling me what to do. That means we have to be self-regulating people with a system of beliefs, values and principles. We have to restore the principles and values of the country, and that involves tithing. When you go to church, don't put $20 in the basket - tithe 10%. If you want people to stop living off the government, our churches need to have the money and resources to do it." Beck went on to prophesize a national transformation. "Everybody else is playing short term politics, but I believe we may be in the third great awakening of this country. The first was right before the Revolution and the second freed the slaves. There are periods where people wake up."

FNC's Greg Gutfeld and Arthel Neville entered the No Spin Zone to pick the week's dumbest people. Neville went with the contestant on "The Amazing Race" who accidentally smashed herself in the head with a watermelon. "It's dumb what people will do to get on television," Neville said. "This was nonsensical and silly, and maybe the dumbest part was another lady saying 'you must finish the race.'" Gutfeld reluctantly picked former Secretary of State Colin Powell, who blamed the Ground Zero mosque controversy on the "media-industrial complex." "This is an insult to the public," Gutfeld complained. "He makes the assumption that we're unthinking drones controlled by this vast media." The Factor nominated Howard Dean, who claimed that "Fox News really runs the Republican Party."

Jack Atkins, Pembroke, MA: "Bill, you have become politically correct. Why give Imam Rauf the benefit of the doubt? My gut tells me he is threatening us."

Jane Cavolina, Mt. Laurel, NJ: "Rauf is not going to say that Mosque will be an anti-Jihad project. But he would if his heart was in the right place."

Colin Bluish, Fishers, IN: "The NAACP wants the Tea Party to repudiate a T-shirt but they honor Jeremiah Wright. Ridiculous."

Josh Helton, Birmingham, AL: "Bill, great moment last night between you and Megyn talking about Andy Griffith's squeeze. It was funny to see you imitate Aunt Bee."

Friday's Patriot?: Possibly Lady Gaga, who offended the folks at PETA by posing for a magazine cover in a bikini made of raw steak. And the Pinhead?: Perhaps DNC boss Tim Kaine, who lamented that Democrats are the "underdog party," even though Dems control the White House and both houses of Congress.
