That is so subtle and non descriptive that it is unfair, especially when there is no context to think in terms of European history and personalities.
Glenn Beck transcript, Medina interview:
GLENN: I have when I said that I was going to have you on, you can’t imagine the mail pro and con that I received. There was a theme that ran against you and that is you are a 9/11 Truther.
MEDINA: Well, there’s lots of mud that people would like to throw at Debra Medina and make stick. The truth is I’m an everyday ordinary person. I am fighting for the things that our founders fought for, those very basic principles of a constitutional republic, and I’m going to champion people that hold their government accountable, hold me accountable but that’s the first time I’ve heard that accusation. So that’s an interesting one.
GLENN: Right. Here’s then let me be more frank and ask you the question: Do you believe the government was any way involved with the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?
MEDINA: I don’t, I don’t have all of the evidence there, Glenn. So I don’t I’m not in a place, I have not been out publicly questioning that. I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard. There are some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all of the evidence there. So I’ve not taken a position on that.
GLENN: I think the people of America might think that might be a yes.
MEDINA: Well
GLENN: Do you have advisors, do you have advisor
MEDINA: I’m not going to take a position.
GLENN: That’s fine.
MEDINA: These questions have been raised and they are not answered.
GLENN: Do you have advisors that advise you or people that are around you that are 9/11 Truthers?
MEDINA: Not to my knowledge.
GLENN: Would you, if you found out that there were, would you disavow them like the president should have but I mean, he escorted them out in the middle of the night. Van Jones was a 9/11 Truther. If you found out that people around you are advising you were 9/11 Truthers, would you disavow them or allow them to continue to advise you?
MEDINA: Well, you know, that’s a federal issue. We’re very focused on issues in Texas, on Texas state government. I’m certainly not into mind control or thought policing people.
GLENN: No, that’s a pretty big one.
MEDINA: We’ve got a very diverse team in this state and that’s because Texans are standing shoulder to shoulder to support and defend the Constitution. I frankly don’t have time, you know, to go through and do psychological testing on people and know every thought or detail that they have.
GLENN: No, I don’t think it’s psychological at all.
MEDINA: I don’t see us having a team of radical individuals, if you will. I think that there are certainly some that are looking, trying to use scare tactics. I you know, are there people?
GLENN: No, I don’t think they’re scare tactics. Debra, you’ve answered the question.
MEDINA: Yeah, are there people that have tried to come and be a part of our team
GLENN: Right.
MEDINA: that have not gotten on the team? Absolutely there are. But I can’t
GLENN: Yeah, I understand. Debra, you’ve answered the question.
MEDINA: You know, I don’t know. That’s so out of context, it’s difficult for me to answer.
GLENN: There’s
MEDINA: I think it would depend on, you know, how vocal they were about that and how much I thought it colored whatever other talent they brought to the table.
GLENN: Yeah. Okay, Debra, thank you very much. I appreciate it and best of luck to you.
MEDINA: Thank you, Glenn.
GLENN: You bet. Bye bye. I think
PAT: Problematic?
GLENN: While I don’t endorse anyone
PAT: Problematic?
GLENN: I think I can write her off the list. Let me take another look at Kay Bailey Hutchison if I have to. Rick, I think you and I could French kiss right now.
PAT: Let me tell you something. He’s a damn handsome man.
GLENN: He’s a damn handsome man.
PAT: Looks good in a pair of jeans.
GLENN: Wow.
PAT: He’s a handsome man.
GLENN: Wow. The fastest way back to 4%.
STU: (Laughing).
GLENN: Holy cow.
PAT: I mean, and we’re going to I’m going to hear from people in Texas. How can you take her we just asked the question!
GLENN: Asked the question.
PAT: Because we got all the rumors, I expected her to say oh, absolutely not.
STU: Even if you are a Truther, there’s an easy answer to that
PAT: That is not what she said.
STU: which is of course not; what are you talking
PAT: Absolutely not, I am not a 9/11 Truther.
GLENN: I mean, but at least give her credit.
STU: Give her credit, she told the truth.
GLENN: Give her credit for telling the truth.
PAT: She didn’t lie. Yeah, she didn’t lie.
GLENN: But you know what? If you believe the United States government blew up the World Trade Center, there should be no other higher priority, no other higher priority.
PAT: And I don’t want to hear from you if you are a 9/11 Truther on her side.
GLENN: Yeah.
PAT: Save your e mails.
I warned folks this lady was bad news. I don’t like Perry, and KBH is worse, but Medina would hand the Governorship to Bill White on a silver platter.
It's obvious. It's because she's a truther, and her game is over. Of course, we'll hear over and over it's otherwise. We had Ron Paulians run through here, and we'll have much more from her bunch.
Texas is great. I do miss Kansas a bit, but the people of Texas have been very welcoming....
Even to the tons of California cars I see unfortunately (am in Midland). Got to love a place with a Dairy Queen in even the tiniest town...lol.
Acorn, like other machines, delivered where margins matter, within the smaller districts. Sort of the way the Daley machine worked in 1960 to deliver Illinois. By and large the real electorate is what we usually call the Middle Class. Roughly those who will turn out for the congressional elections this year.
Over the top, given that he has said that he shared many things with her. I would have let down easier.
I don’t like being dictated to by groups. Don’t we have enough of that with government?
methinks it is mighty like a weasel
Yeah, not so great, but at least they’re pretty sure that 9-11 wasn’t an inside job.
You get two choices, Perry and Hutchison. You can write-in Calvin Coolidge if you wish, but all that will do is keep Perry under 50% and pit him against KBH in a run-off in which write-in votes will not be counted. So you need to choose which one of the two is better, or less bad, unless you want to sit this one out.
Even the back pedal is BS. NO is the correct answer to that question. She either believes it was done by the Bush administration or she doesn’t, it is as simple as that.
Actually if you look at ACORN’s get out the vote program they operate in any district they think they can deliver the votes and many of those are high populated areas.
There is a reason they are under investigation for fraud in 28 states.
and the votes they deliver are not middle class nor are those votes by people who pay income tax
He asked a legit question since many Paulbots tend to be truthers...
