Medina refuses to disavow conspiracy theory that U.S. government was behind 9/11 attacks

In a startling statement today, Republican candidate for governor Debra Medina refused to disavow the allegation that the U.S. government was somehow involved in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center towers on 9/11.

Medina made the statement during an interview on the Glenn Beck radio program

Who is aligning with those whack jobs? She said she isn’t. Is she just a shameless liar like Mitt Perry and KBH?

[Star Traveler]

Well, a "Truther" is someone who says that Bush and/or our government had a hand in the attacks on 9/11. They're basically saying that Bush and the government "set it up" so that they could go to war against the Muslims and over in the Middle East and to enact freedom-busting laws against the citizens of this country... But..., then again... it does seem that "some FReepers" have a certain level of tolerance for some 9/11 Truthers...

That would include "Phil Berg" who the Obama Derangement Syndrome people (on Free Republic) have also supported... :-)

Some organizations in the nutty 9/11 Truther Movement

I doubt it. She can still beat KBH and force a runoff. I’ll take her at her word until you demonstrate why I shouldn’t.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Well, you’ll have to find me a quote from her before today saying she believes the truthers.

I have to do no such thing. Everything before today is irrelevant. She was asked today and she answered today. Period.

She's tried to backtrack after the fact, having seen her candidacy destroyed in one radio segment, but it is hopeless. We've all seen enough truthers to know the dance when we see it.

Now, Rick RINO Perry will go on to an undeserved 3rd term. Yay.

[KarlInOhio]

As stupid as she was, she still come in second this year to Martha Coakley accusing Curt Schilling of being a crypto-Yankee.

Debra Medina states: “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.”
So...who’s doing the misrepresentation of the Beck interview?

[deport]

I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way....

Medina statement after hemming and hawing on Beck. The lady isn't ready for Texas Prime Time.

Beck - Medina Truther Exchange

The above You Tube is about 4 minutes of the exchange where she talked over Beck and never made a denial when she had the chance. Poor Poor showing.

[Star Traveler]

You can see more from FReepers, about this, on this prior thread...

Medina admitted shes a TRUTHER on Beck

[perfect_rovian_storm]

You can support the Easter Bunny for all I care, but if the Easter Bunny not only wouldn’t disavow being a 9/11 truther himself or whether or not he’d keep 9/11 truthers on staff, the Easter Bunny’s chances would be just as hopeless.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Did you listen to the interview?

So, she backtracked after she saw her candidacy completely obliterated in a frenzy of twitter posts. If she felt that way, she should have said so from the start.

[deport]

The above wasn’t in the Beck interview but a response from her after the screw up that she did on Beck.... Click the link and listen to the 4 minutes of her hemming and hawing.

I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way.

BUT, I'm looking for that evidence and it will show that they knew about it and did nothing [because it was an excellent "opportunity" doncha know...]. And when I find it, then I'll tell you I have believed that our government was at fault from the beginning!

[G Larry]

Ya....I just put the sequence together.

I’m just fine w Perry in there anyway.

[pissant]

Did she say she believed the truthers?

[Soul Seeker]

She aligned with them by not denouncing this theory from the start line. Keep trying, but she’s through. You can see for yourself this is starting to blow up. Watch the campaign commercials Perry and KBH have out in the next few days. The woman dug her own political grave. Conservatives do not support any flirtations with this garbage.

[pissant]

Well I’d certainly take the easter bunny over the two rinos. A dead chipmunk would suffice.

[pissant]

We’ll see. It’ll be even more gratifying to see here knock off KBH in the primary since todays interview gave you such a boner.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

Did she correct Beck or Pat when he said “I think a lot of America would consider that a yes.”???

I know you’re not one to change course easily, but you’re bordering on blind following here.

[Soul Seeker]

If all you have left are insults, it might do you well to at least find one that suits my actual sex. LOL

[Cymbaline]

Yes. Did she say she believed the truthers? As a matter of fact she didn’t.

She refused to say no, which is the same thing.
