"No way am I going to quiet down about the far left wanting to release military pictures of prisoner abuse. Anti-American loons want the world to see those pictures, knowing they would embarrass America and put our military in even more danger. The New York Times and other far left media want the pictures out so they can blame them on President Bush and the Republican Party, it is a pure political play. But the ACLU is a different story. That vile organization believes the USA is a bad place, desperately in need of an overhaul. If you don't believe me, consider what's happening here in New York City. The cops are proactive, trying to stop crime before it happens by keeping close tabs on the bad guys. The New York chapter of the ACLU filed a complaint against the police, charging that they are stopping black people more than white people. But a study by the Rand Corporation shows that 69% of New York City violent crime victims describe their assailants as black, 5% are described as white. So if you're investigating and trying to stop crimes, to whom should you be talking? But to the ACLU, it's the country's fault, not the perpetrator's fault. I believe the ACLU is the most dangerous anti-American organization in the country, and if clear-thinking Americans do not confront this group and its members, people will die."
For a contrary view, The Factor welcomed professor Marc Lamont Hill, who endorsed the ACLU's complaint against the New York Police Department. "As a social scientist," Hill began, "I can tell you that racial identification reports are notoriously unreliable. More importantly, the police aren't targeting criminals, they're targeting innocent people and they're turning New York into a police state, which is very dangerous. I want responsible, sensible policing." The Factor contended that most cops are simply trying to fight crime. "The police stop citizens on the street they consider could be suspects, they don't just go around picking out black people and questioning them. Proactive policing has worked terrific." |

| Despite his unwavering pro-choice record, President Obama was well-received at Notre Dame University. The Factor asked radio talk show host Laura Ingraham about the president's ability to charm even those who disagree with his policies. "I don't care whether President Obama can turn a phrase or read from a teleprompter," Ingraham avowed. "When Notre Dame conferred an honorary degree on Obama, it confirmed that it is no longer a viable Catholic institution. Notre Dame has taken itself out of the Catholic teaching business, and if you think that's an accomplishment, then three cheers for Notre Dame." The Factor agreed that "Notre Dame is now a secular institution, it is no longer practicing the Catholic philosophy." Ingraham also criticized the administration for mandating new auto mileage standards: "This is a continued war on the prosperity of the middle class, it's part of the re-making of America. This means smaller cars and probably 800 more deaths per year on the highway." |

| Fox News host Glenn Beck entered the No Spin Zone to expound on ACORN, the so-called voting rights group. "This is not just a community activist group," Beck warned. "It goes to the power centers of unions and Congress and the White House, this is a huge story of corruption. ACORN is taking people off the street and putting pressure on them to register people to vote. This is why you have so many fraudulent registrations." Beck followed ACORN's money trail to one stately old home in New Orleans. "There are 270 organizations with the same address at an old funeral home in New Orleans. All the money goes there, but I don't think it ends in New Orleans. We don't know where the money goes from there." |

| Liberal Alan Colmes and conservative Monica Crowley analyzed the high and low points of Barack Obama's week. "The best thing he did," Colmes gushed, "is set the new fuel efficiency standards. It's good for the environment, reduces emissions, there are all kinds of reasons." The Factor agreed with Colmes that driving gas guzzlers only serves to "feed our enemies abroad." Crowley criticized the president for refusing to meet with Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons: "A couple of months ago President Obama slammed Nevada, saying companies can't be going to Las Vegas for conventions. This week Governor Gibbons said that really hurt Nevada's economy, and that 400 conventions have been canceled. The governor wanted a meeting with the president, but Obama blew him off." |

| The Factor invited Dennis Miller to weigh in on Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her claim that the CIA lied to her. "Pelosi's a train wreck," Miller opined. "When I brought up her name in Las Vegas, where I performed this weekend, the entire audience booed. There is blood in the water on her and I hope they bring in Cousteau's kid to document it because this is going be a beautiful demise. If you thought those eyes twitched in the past, watch her over the next couple of weeks. She's going to look like a hummingbird doing time travel. She's a gaffe-a-second, shrieking harridan magpie, but you will only get the Speaker's gavel from her when you pry it from her cold, dead hand." Miller also reported on his recent visit to Guantanamo Bay. "It was nice to be down there and know that the 'scum de la scum' were just over the hill. The morons in DC want to bring the prisoners back to the mainland, but they're in the perfect place. They're animals and they're right where they belong." |

| Megyn Kelly and Lis Wiehl focused their legal acumen on the Supreme Court's ruling that Arab Muslims who were detained and interrogated in the United States after 9/11 can not sue former Bush administration officials. "A Pakistani national who was working as a cable installer claimed he was rounded up and abused while he was in jail," Kelly reported. "A bunch of left-wing groups brought this case and this was a reasonable ruling by the Supreme Court." But Wiehl disagreed with the court's ruling. "This was a 5-4 decision and I think the dissenters got it right. I want the guy to at least be able to try to prove his case, but the majority said he doesn't even get a chance to try to prove it. This is about the rule of law." |
