Mitt Romney speaks at NAACP convention
Guests: Marc Lamont Hill

"95% of African American voters supported Barack Obama in 2008, but this time around Mitt Romney apparently thinks he can do better. The black unemployment rate is 14.4%, as opposed to 12.7% when Mr. Obama took office. So it's obvious that the scenario for black American voters is much different than it was four years ago, and today Governor Romney made that case to the NAACP. He knew he would not be received well there, but he also knows that if he wins the election he'll be president to all Americans. The problem is that most African Americans believe the Republican Party does not value them, and certainly some African Americans cast their ballots along color lines. The good news for Mr. Romney is that African Americans will not decide the election this year; many analysts believe fewer of them will vote for Barack Obama. Because of the bad economy and because the President has not actively supported black special interest groups, some blacks will walk away. By the way, Mr. Obama has largely kept his promise to be a 'color-blind' President. Summing up, Mitt Romney was brave to go to the convention in Houston. It won't change many hearts and minds, but the symbolism of him being there is a positive thing."

The Factor welcomed Professor Marc Lamont Hill, who took issue with the Talking Points Memo. "Mitt Romney is not 'brave' for going to the NAACP," Hill declared. "He had to do it because if he didn't go he'd get trashed in the press. He seemed bitterly partisan and there was no need to go after President Obama. Say what your message is, say what your vision is for black America, you don't have to beat up on President Obama. That's why he got booed." But The Factor argued that Romney was wise to criticize the President: "Mitt Romney brought the same message to the black community that he brings to everybody, but you're telling me he should change the message. That sounds like some kind of race deal! You're saying he should tailor his message because of color."
New poll: Women voters favor President Obama
Guests: Dick Morris

Political strategist Dick Morris entered the No Spin Zone with his take on the President's lead among women voters. "They like him less than they did in '08," Morris asserted, "but the basic point is that single women tend to be Democrats, while married people are much more likely to be Republican. Single women are poorer than single men. Part of it is that they're poorer, part of it is that abortion is still an important issue for them." Morris also predicted that Mitt Romney will make inroads among two groups of voters who came out strong for President Obama in 2008. "He is going to get Latinos because of their core values, and he'll get young voters because they're unemployed."
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel appeals to gangsters
Guests: Rev. Ira Acree

263 people have been murdered in Chicago so far this year, an increase of 39% over 2011. Mayor Rahm Emanuel is warning gangbangers and thugs to stay away from the city's children. The Factor assessed the deadly situation with Rev. Ira Acree. "So many people are frustrated here," Acree said. "Police blame the politicians, the politicians blame the pastors, and parents blame the school system. The reality is that what we see is a collaborative failure of multiple institutions. Many people are desperate, and desperate people resort to desperate measures." The Factor declared that more poverty programs are not the answer: "Tens of millions of dollars have been poured into the poor communities in the Windy City. It's the collapse of the family - there are kids without fathers and women having four or five babies. When you raise children like that, especially male children, they're subject to joining gangs."
Jimmie J. J. Walker enters the No Spin Zone!
Guests: Jimmie J. J. Walker

The Factor welcomed actor Jimmy Walker, best known for playing "J.J." on the sitcom "Good Times." Walker outlined why he is among the few black entertainers who openly oppose President Obama's record. "Barack Obama is a Tony Robbins type of guy," Walker said. "You watch him, you feel good and you're happy, then you go home and you realize there's a foreclosure sign on your door. I don't think he's a bad guy, but I don't think he's a good guy for the job. I go back to the old Reagan question: 'Are you better off now than you were four years ago?'" Switching to entertainment, Walker criticized Jay Leno for ignoring young performers. "In his twenty years on the air," Walker complained, "he has not broken in one major act. All I'm saying to Jay Leno is, do what was done for you!"
Miller Time featuring class warfare, Lance Armstrong, and a 6-year-old rapper
Guests: Dennis Miller

Dennis Miller aimed his barbs at President Obama's ongoing demonization of the wealthiest Americans. "I think this guy's the most divisive president I've ever seen," Miller groused. "He may have organized communities, but he is disrupting this nation and he's got to drop all this class warfare. I don't get it!" Miller turned to cycling champion Lance Armstrong, who stands accused of using performance enhancing drugs. "I know Lance a little, he's a nice guy. I don't know if he did or didn't, only Lance Armstrong knows that. And the only court that should matter is inside - if he knows he cheated, that will haunt him for the rest of his life." Finally, Miller blasted everyone involved in the music video that features a six-year-old boy surrounded by writhing young women. "The simple fact that this kid is surrounded by more asses in his day-to-day life than he is in this video. How his parents do this is remarkable to me. The kid is six years old, for God's sake! We're on the long slide, Billy."
Provocative new ad targeting child sex trafficking
Guests: Juliet Huddy

A group called 'FAIR Girls' has created a TV ad in which an adolescent girl talks about being raped and 'sold' by her pimp. Fox News correspondent Juliet Huddy analyzed the ad. "FAIR Girls is an organization that is trying to stop the trafficking of underage girls," Huddy reported, "and this was an actress playing a girl who was actually sold for trafficking. These situations typically happen through the Internet on something called Backpage.com, a website owned by Village Voice Media. It's the number one website for prostitution, and within that website there is also a lot of underage prostitution. The company is hiding behind 'free speech' and says it has a hundred people scanning and vetting all the advertisements that come in. They're making $27-million a year just in the 'adult ads' section."
Factor Words of the Day
Viewers sound off
Sheryl Hamilton, La Paz, Mexico: "O'Reilly, you finally managed to get Dennis Kucinich to admit there is no economic benefit to raising taxes on the wealthy. When he said 'it's the fair thing to do' the debate was over."

Lis Annino, Glen Mills, PA: "My son is serving with AmeriCorps and was encouraged to apply for food stamps since he is making so little. He refused. We are proud of him."

Evie Huver, Traverse City, MI: "If it were a six year old girl surrounded by writhing men in that video instead of a little boy, everyone involved would be in big trouble."
Pick good role models
Wednesday's Tip: Don't do what the Jersey Shore morons did. Don't swear every ten seconds, don't use bad grammar, and do not get a tattoo of a scorpion on your neck. If you want to earn a good living, certain things are required, including good judgment and the ability to speak well.
