It was a hit job, disguised as an interview. Before the introduction, he kept referring her to as "what's her name" . The interview was standoffish, and awkward, and then Glenn beck nailed her with 911 truth, bringing up van Jones, etc. Then when the interview ended he and his sidekick mocked her.

I'm afraid that's it for Mrs. Medina. Perry will capitalize on this for sure. Thanks Glenn :mad:

But she shouldn't have jumped around that question. And surely she knew what people wanted to hear in her answer. She wasn't prepared for how Glenn might spin it so why didn't she just say, 'no, I'm not a 9/11 truther' ?

Medina gained major points with me for the way she refused to cave in to Bully-Boy Beck...

"I'm not into mind control" she said when Beck wanted her to say she will fire any campaign workers who might be truthers.

Really? Where are the witnesses? the first hand corroboration into levels of the Pentagon and intelligence services? The operatives who said they funded and trained Mohammed Atta? Where is the trail upwards into the government if such an elaborate plan was concocted and included hundreds of accomplices? Look, the government is capable of doing such a thing but at the end of the day we need first hand attribution, not circumstantial evidence. The troofers constantly put the cart before the horse from an empirical standpoint, and that's why they're easy targets for the MSM.

I personally think 9/11 Truth is a pile of horseshit. The part that says the U.S. government instigated the whole thing and masterfully covered it up and everything they do is just about 'continuing the lie'. I do think their incompetence led to it happening and much of that incompetence has been covered up.

However, what Beck was doing was demanding she disavow anyone who holds the theory or get rid of them from her campaign staff which is ridiculous.

Also, the reason people - in this place in particular - have so much animosity for you guys are the stunts done in the name of 9/11 truth being turned around to label the bunch of us as crazies and completely ignoring us because of it. I don't think it's right for it to happen, but it is NOT because 'we're afraid that it's true'.

I'll give it a shot. Anyone running for public office, when asked the question about whether or not 9/11 was an inside job must immediately and decisively answer by saying "absolutely not"! If they don't, they have ZERO chance of winning the office they seek. Just saying, that's the way it is.

Don't get me wrong I am very disappointed with Beck and how the interview went but at the same time if a candidate is not willing to denounce 9/11 as an inside job, that candidate has no chance of winning. Fact of life.

The government's recount of the events are largely untrue. We can agree there. But you're going to take that next immense leap on national TV implying, that the federal government was directly involved in intentionally destroying the insurance industry, the airline industry and over 3000 civilians! Do you realize the significance of such allegations without indisputable primary evidence? There is a reason why the troofers are villified. Because they don't know how to play the game. They go around like chickens with their heads cut off screaming "inside job", doing to a great disservice to the legitimate questions they first voiced.

Her answer should have been ABSOLUTELY NOT! instead of "there are good questions and I'm not going to take a position"

Well, like it or not, that was generally Ron Paul's answer. I'm no truther, but I have plenty of questions.

Medina has shown that she's definitely not into giving a dishonest answer just to win. Plenty of people here have accused Rand and Schiff of doing just that. Sure, just like Limbaugh before hime, Beck's audience is full of dittoheads, but you might be surprised at the way a good portion of the listeners respond to a genuine, open-minded answer.

One of my favorite things she's said is that Texas should "have the courage" to discuss whether the drug war is working (first KERA debate). I'd love for her to stick to that line when she's in controversial territory.

I disagree. Yes it's about them, but the knife he used to stab her campaign and image is 9/11 truth.

He actually said that "if you believe the gov't had anything to do with 9/11, then you haven't thought this through." The audacity of that statement. Think for your self and you are not thinking things through, but if you just blindly accept the main line and "oh the government is completely innocent and it didn't help those in power at that time" then you are THINKING.

He more or less demanded she toss out any of her campaign staff that had this particular conspiracy theory in their heads, and when she didn't he hung up on her and starting comparing her to Hitler. This man did NOTHING wrong? Sure, there were better things she could have said, but she went with the right answer instead of the politically correct answer, because she is no seasoned politician prepared to throw her staffers under a bus on the spot because Beck demands it. It came out of nowhere.

What type of fire took down the other building? Was the integrity of the building compromised prior to the fire? Yes, these are important questions besides a simple compare and contrast.

Specifically Who? How? Why? Do you understand why people like Beck make quick work of troofers?

If Troofers were smart, they'd focus on the lies that could prove primarily with the 9/11 commission coverup. And then move onto the near impossible loss of the black boxes. You build a case from the ground like a house, starting with the pouring of the foundation and working your way up to the skeletal structure. You just don't throw the roof on top with no framework below. You don't scream inside job when you cannot even prove the intracacies of the operation and the main protagonists.

no shit, that would have been clever though. maybe she should keep that in mind for future interviews.

He more or less demanded she toss out any of her campaign staff that had this particular conspiracy theory in their heads, and when she didn't he hung up on her and starting comparing her to Hitler. This man did NOTHING wrong? Sure, there were better things she could have said, but she went with the right answer instead of the politically correct answer, because she is no seasoned politician prepared to throw her staffers under a bus on the spot because Beck demands it. It came out of nowhere.

Staff are there to help her win not to fucking bring down her campaign. I already said that I liked her answer. However you can't reason with people like Beck.

You're really blaming this on "the 9/11 truth movement?"

I wonder, is that the official stance of the John Birch Society?

I just said Glenn Beck thanks them, I didn't blame them.

Glenn Beck is a master of exploiting politics.

True. Now a word to the wise. Any liberty candidate that goes on Beck should expect this crap. Have answers like this written on your palm like Palin.

I don't know what was said specifically but a good answer I would have said would have been:

"I hire and fire my campaign staff based on their performance for my campaign and not their personal beliefs"

It could be harmful if this gets around the truther movement and causes an "uprising." Whether they deserve it or not, the most passionate truthers have a tendency to come across to everyone else as wild-eyed, slobbering, potentially sociopathic kooks when they engaging in discussion in mainstream circles. While, like Medina, I'm not into mind control, there definitely needs to be restraint if over 50% of voters are to feel comfortable enough to cast a ballot for her.

That really pissed me off. I kid you not, if Medina doesn't get in the runoff now I will vote Democrat in the general. Either that or write in, "Fuck Glenn Beck".

On the other hand though she could've at least said she will hire and fire her advisors based on performance not personal beliefs completely unrelated to their job.

The woman was not quick enough on her feet. This is what she should have said, "Glenn, my associates' beliefs are simply their own and as long as they're working to the best of their ability to help me gain the nomination in Texas, I can't find any qualms with them. I'm not going to implement any draconian litmus test for workers in my campaign because that's simply un-American. While I believe that the claims that our government was directly involved in the 9/11 attacks to be far-fetched, I think we would be extremely dishonest if we ignored the startling questions that remain from that rueful day. Glenn, like you often say, What's the harm in asking questions? Remember the federal government soothing us with the myth that an economic boom was right around the corner? Time and time again, they have proved to have a sketchy record in disseminating the truth. Whether it was negligence or outright deceit, I don't think it's outlandish to be vigilant in our appraisal of our government."


THAT'S HOW YOU PUT PAT/STU IN HIS PLACE DEBORAH, WHILE STILL PRESERVING THE HIGH GROUND!!

Very easy to say in hindsight. She clearly didn't expect the question, and Beck's line about firing anyone who was a truther didn't sound right to her, which is very understandable. Beck was out to get her from the word go, if she'd have been a seasoned politician it probably wouldn't have happened, but I find it hard to blame her for that.

Woulda shoulda coulda. She got on the Glenn Beck Program. Her name recognition just went up massively. Yes, she is going to have to answer this again, maybe many times, hopefully in circumstances that carry even larger audiences.

My dad used to call this a "happy problem."

Okay, I just got around to listening to this. Way overstated by the people here.

She was surprised at the question. She didn't say anything incriminating. Her laugh of surprise and ridiculousness at the beginning should have told all to anyone in the audience.

This thing about Glenn Beck French kissing Rick Perry is hilarious. Remember him making that offer to Ron Paul?

off subject i know....but Joe McCarthy was recently vindicated by now open Soviet archives.

McCarthy has been villified not so much for exposing commies....but for the fact that he figured out that the Establishment was working with the commies.
