Guests: Deneen Borelli & Crystal McCrary

"It used to be that liberals were the most ardent advocates of free speech, but now the far left is a primary source of censorship in America. Simply put, they do not want to hear opposing points of view. Enter the vicious Media Matters outfit, which is in business to demonize anyone with whom they disagree. Their latest campaign is against Rush Limbaugh - Media Matters is spending about $100,000 to run radio ads targeting stations that carry Mr. Limbaugh. Media Matters was somewhat successful in damaging Glenn Beck's brand, although he is prospering right now on the 'net. Emboldened by that, they're going after Limbaugh, who is target number one for liberal America. There's something very fascist about all this - shut down your opposition, don't let them speak, punish people who support them. Silencing those with whom you disagree does not help the country; nobody has to listen to Rush Limbaugh or MSNBC. Unless an opinion is violent or slanderous, it should be allowed. There's no question that Mr. Limbaugh got hurt and he has apologized for his Sandra Fluke comments. There's also no question that the marketplace dictated that apology, and that's the way things should work in a free society."

The Factor invited reaction from attorney Crystal McCrary and author Deneen Borelli. "Businesses have been drawn into this political fight," Borelli said, "and they are caught in the middle. If you advertise on a conservative program, the liberal left is going to make an example of you. This is all about control of conservative speech - I have been called all kinds of names for my defense of liberty, personal responsibility and limited government. This is all about stifling conservative speech." But McCrary argued that boycotts of sponsors can be desirable. "What I always tell my children is that words matter and racially hateful and damaging language is not acceptable on the playground or the media. There is a reason why you can't holler 'fire' in a crowded theater, because someone could get harmed."

Guest: Laura Ingraham

Laura Ingraham entered the No Spin Zone with her take on Rick Santorum's latest ad in which he accuses Mitt Romney of lacking "core values." "I'm not of the view that all of this is horrible for the party," Ingraham said, "or that it will wound the ultimate nominee. Mitt Romney is trying to unify the party and he's making a lot of inroads; at the same time, Rick Santorum has an argument to make. He's been subjected to negative ads also, and as long as real issues are being debated I don't have a problem with it." The Factor contended that the attack ads are getting repetitive: "Everybody knows that Santorum thinks Romney's a phony, and everybody knows that Romney thinks Santorum isn't quite the conservative he's portraying himself to be."

Guest: Stuart Varney

The Factor has repeatedly urged federal authorities to regulate and harness speculation in the oil market. Fox Business host Stuart Varney reported on a pending bill that would do just that. "At the moment it costs virtually nothing to speculate," Varney said, "and a small amount of money controls a large amount of oil. This bill will make it much more expensive to speculate - you'd have to put more money down to control the same amount of oil. If you put this bill into effect, the net result might not be that you lower prices, but I think it would stabilize prices - they wouldn't go up so fast, they wouldn't go down so fast." Varney also implored American authorities to open up the oil spigots. "Why don't we go after the oil that we've got in the ground? We've got a trillion barrels! Don't you think that if we said 'we're going to go get it' it would have some impact on prices?"

Guests: Gretchen Carlson & Tammy Bruce

Culture Warriors Gretchen Carlson and Tammy Bruce evaluated "The Hunger Games," a violent and disturbing new movie about teens. "It's rated PG-13 because they wanted this to be a blockbuster," Carlson said. "This is about America gone totally awry and it's all about survival - it's a reality show with kids killing each other and it's violent from the very beginning." Bruce advised parents to use their judgment. "This is violence from child to child and parents have got to be ready to have conversations with their children. The scenes in this involve spears and arrows and being mauled by animals. With books you're limited and you have to use your imagination; when you put a child in front of the screen it's an entirely different dynamic." The Factor lamented that "a lot of kids' parents don't care."

Guest: Megyn Kelly

Fox News anchor and attorney Megyn Kelly opined on the death of Trayvon Martin, the black 17-year-old who was gunned down by "neighborhood watch" volunteer George Zimmerman in Florida. "The local police department basically took Zimmerman's word," Kelly reported, "and did very little investigating. This case stinks to high heaven and the way the police handled this stinks to high heaven. Let's just hope this hasn't been botched so badly that they can't do the investigation they need to do. I don't know that they have Zimmerman on a 'hate crime,' but in terms of second-degree murder, that charge looks very promising." The Factor also asked Kelly to predict how the Supreme Court will ultimately rule on health care reform. "If you're forcing me to bet," she said, "I would bet that the four conservative judges plus Justice Anthony Kennedy will strike down the individual mandate. But anyone who tells you they know for sure how the high court will rule is not telling you the truth."

Guests: Steve Doocy & Martha MacCallum

Steve Doocy and Martha MacCallum tested their knowledge of infamous gangsters. Among the questions: "Parts of 'The Godfather' were based on the relationship between Frank Sinatra and what real-life gangster?" ... "Who tipped off the FBI about bank robber John Dillinger?" ... "Al Capone was an inmate at what famous prison?" ... "Which Hall of Fame pitcher got ripped off by Bernie Madoff?" Both quiz kids were at the top of their respective games, answering four out of five correctly and walking off with a hard-fought tie.

Steve Howard, Schaumburg, IL: "I spent the first twenty years of my life living on Chicago's south side. It wasn't until I moved away that I realized street crime and violence are not the norm."

Jerry Benson, Lanexa, VA: "Violence in Chicago and elsewhere will not end until we admit the root cause: the disintegration of the family."

Joyce Watkins, Agoura Hills, CA: "Bill, I think Sasha and Malia should get Father's Day tickets to the Bolder-Fresher show in Chicago for their dad."

Thursday's Patriot: Rosie O'Donnell, who reacted gracefully after being given the axe by Oprah Winfrey's OWN network.
