He was never in with us in the first place. We need Beck for exposure that is all. Obviously he disagree with us. He does not hide it. All the people who are clamoring for going after Beck are just wasting effort.

Medina should have been prepared more often. 9/11 truther question is a legitimate question. What we need is for all us to come together and to help Medina clarify her position. Not to attack and saying told you so. Use this to energize us not go on some drama rampage.

How is a 9/11 truth question a legitimate question for someone not seeking Federal Office? Moreover, how is abruptly hanging up and then calling her Hitler legitimate (It only retains some funny in how ironic it is...think about it Reichstag, and then someone who supports Free-Speech and questioning of their Government.)? He had a demeaning attitude the whole time.

You think I was happy with the question? I haven't even seen truthers anywhere around her campaign. But it is legitimate because he can ask w/e he wants. It is not relevant to her race. She already said that much.

When Hannity invites us I would gladly advocate going on his show.

Exposure to what, exactly?

He just torpedoed Medina for the establishment, he is the titular head of the "Tea Party" movement, (after co-opting it from us) that is now running candidates AGAINST Ron Paul in his own ever-fucking DISTRICT.

The only "exposure" that happens is negative.

Medina messed her question up, she admitted to as much after the interview. I want her to win. Attacking Beck for questioning her is not going to win us any strategic battles. Now we have to go to every blog possible defending Medina not attacking Beck for raising questions.

Speaking of raising questions why don't you email him and ask him to have her on the show again.

This is so true. So many more media outlets are nicer than Fox News to Ron Paul than many here would make you believe. I don't agree with half of what Maddow talks about, but at least she contacts Ron Paul for segments and interviews him nicely. We all know Paul's tendency to go off subject, but she doesn't seem to mind, she lets him talk. All I hear from beck is the constant interruptions of, "Ok... Ok..." Let them finish, fucker. He never says bye to his guests either. Asshole.

King has never railroaded anybody. He mainly lets people debate and speak their minds. Sometimes the show is dry, but he isn't biased as far as his broadcast goes.

Same goes for Maddow. She likes Paul on foreign policy and certain social issues. She is a principled Liberal who likes Paul genuinely, I respect that. And she isn't an Obama-bot. She has criticized Obama on war, civil liberties, and healthcare.

Beck is on the other side of the foreign policy issue obviously. But he's clearly read the constitution, and is very vocal in his opposition to the commerce clause and the general welfare clause. He's views the Federal Reserve as a criminal enterprise. He's also an advocate for balanced budgets. Beck certainly has his faults, but in a struggling movement where numbers are key, I'm not going to turn my guns inward to destroy one of my most effective recruiting tools, whether Glenn knows this or not. Yes, he could be a CIA asset or vector control, but I'm sure as hell going to maintain a key conduit to my movement because like it or not, he has engaged the public to drop the remote control and actually look for the answers themselves. In my opinion, this is invaluable. I'm not being being reactionary nor gullible, but I'm one of the few who see the big picture. He's much more valuable to us, than we are to him. Comprende?

If you honestly believe that Beck had her on to do anything more then a hack job, you need to get outside and smell the coffee more. Maybe you're new to mainstream media, but this is very common whenever someone they don't like is gaining steam.

I would be very skeptical of those polls. More relevant would be "what percentage of people who vote in Republican primaries are "truthers""? And my guess is very very few - we're talking low single digits.

My guess is a lot of the people in the affirmative just didn't like Bush, and if you asked them if Bush was an evil shapeshifter from Mars they would also say yes.

Similar to the Obama "birther" numbers.

I need to chime in here. It wasn't simply the nature of the question (tough). It was the nature of the way he asked it and the follow up afterward that undermined her and like someone else already stated, he actually put words into her mouth. She didn't say ANYTHING that even hinted that she believed our own government flew planes into buildings or that there was a conspiracy in our government to allow it.

She, like millions upon millions of other freedom loving, Americans question the government's official story about the events of 911. Each and every one of us was hurt deeply on that day. We cried. We flew flags. We opened doors for each other.

But we being Americans have an inherent distrust of government. It's as American and patriotic as baseball, Super Bowl and apple pie and Medina is a true American in that regard. Thank God almighty we have politicians who question what the government says.

Beck has lost my respect today. He had regained it even after he called me a terrorist. I gave him another chance after he completely marginalized the one person who was poised to restore Constitutional principles and who has had an impeccable record of doing just that for 20 years because he had Ron Paul on the show again and treated him with the respect that he deserved. I gave him another chance because he speaks of less government and the evils of the progressive movement. I continued to listen even though he never really put his finger on the Federal Reserve System being at the heart of most of our problems. He never mentioned the CFR like he should have. He barely touched on Switzerland being the country our founding fathers modeled our style of defense and foreign policy after which is the antithesis of that of the CFR and their members. Despite all that, I gave him a chance and watched his show.

After that railroad job he did on Medina today I'm pretty much done with him. I can no longer see him as being serious about true Constitutional principles or the candidates who would restore them.

That would have been nice, except for this:

No I certainly didn't appreciate the way Beck operated. Especially at the end.

Obviously, since Medina's post interview statement, she has been wrongly stamped by Glenn Beck.

Which is why:

1. I wish these candidates would get the goods on the interviewer before they go on, so they're prepared for their b.s.

2. We should get her on Fox News, so she can show Beck what's what. Emails got her on the radio, maybe they'll get her on the show. Maybe we can get Beck to apologize. All of which would help the campaign.

Her bigger screw up was going on spinster's Beck's show to begin with.

Nah. Exposure on a National program is important.
Preperation for the tough questions was the problem.

Her official statement disagrees.

How so? Here below is her statement.


"I was asked a question on the Glenn Beck show today regarding my thoughts on the so-called 9/11 truth movement. I have never been involved with the 9/11 truth movement, and there is no doubt in my mind that Muslim terrorists flew planes into those buildings on 9/11. I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way. No one can deny that the events on 9/11 were a tragedy for all Americans and especially those families who lost loved ones.

The question surprised me because it's not relevant to this race or the issues facing Texans. This campaign has always been about private property rights and state sovereignty. It is focused on the issues facing Texans. It is not a vehicle for the 9-11 truth movement or any other group.

The real underlying question here, though, is whether or not people have the right to question our government. I think the fact that people are even asking questions on this level gets to the incredible distrust career politicians have fostered by so clearly taking their direction from special interests instead of the people, whether it's Rick Perry and his HPV mandate or Kay Hutchison and voting for the bank bailout. It is absolutely the right and duty of a free people to question their government. Texas does not need another politician who tells you what you want to hear, then violates your liberties and steals your property anyway. I fully expect to be questioned and to be held accountable as Governor, and that's the underlying issue here: should people be questioning their government. And the answer is yes, they should be."

He's trying to create a wedge. Lame attempt, ignore it.
