HOUSTON — Republican gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina, reeling from her remarks that questioned whether the U.S. government was involved in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, on Friday blamed the ensuing firestorm on a “coordinated attack” that she speculated came from the campaigns of her better-known GOP rivals.

There are GOOGLE links to Medina on Alex Jones show.

I was just joking on here a week or two ago, asking when Medina was going to go on the Alex Jones show.

So she did. That figures.

Medina does as Paul does.

Thank goodness her looniness was exposed before the primary.

You know it.
It was good to see some of those on FR who had their pom poms out for her got a clue quick with the Truther belief.

Copy of Emails

Now comes another bizarre coincidence. Sources from station KLIP reported that people have been receiving robo calls from the Rick Perry campaign accusing Debra Medina of being a 9/11 Truther. People started receiving calls 7 minutes after the interview ended.

Any reasonable person looking at the series of events that occurred would have to acknowledge that there is enough probable cause to warrant an official investigation. It should also get the attention of the news media.

Unfortunately propaganda has shamelessly been used against Debra Medina already.

Recently Chris Mathews accused Debra Medina of being racist for her stand on nullification and interposition. I thought that was a all time low. Mathews and MSNBC were so lazy and unprofessional in there propaganda they overlooked the fact they accused a woman of racism who is in a mixed racial marriage.

Now we have this despicable display of unbridled arrogance from Glenn Beck. Even if you set aside the events I mentioned above. And only take in a account the immature behavior of Glenn Beck. You see a man who takes delight in trying to destroy a grassroots campaign. Like crazed hyenas Beck and his sidekick exchanged one pathetic vulgar barb after another for an entire hour segment. Here’s a small sample that started immediately after the interview ended.

or did Perry use the mind control machine to make her say this things?

No... no "mind control machine"...
Just the same old mudslinging media-whore buttboy pseudoconservatives like Beck chanting the toe-the-party-line mantra...

What a farce.

Anyone can send ROBO calls and say they are from who ever
Perry is smart enough not to bother with that.
Medina hung herself, Perry or anyone else don’t have to touch it.

If I remember right, the Republican good-old-boys-club in Alaska did very similar stuff to Sarah.

I'm seeing the same people on other forums who attack Palin support and defend Medina's statement on Truthers. Libertarians are out already, fulfilling their usual role, and encouraging her and her supporters to go third party if she loses the primaries.

Here is a libertarian claiming the statement Medina retracted was just fine:

A Question for Glenn Beck on Global Warming and Conspiracy

Medina has a core of supporters whose real goal is not to elect her but to split the Tea Party movement.

They didn’t do anything to Medina, she did it to herself. What part of that don’t you understand. They didn’t tell her to go on Beck!

Now comes another bizarre coincidence.

Some people pointed out Medina was a truther a week ago.

I guess it was no secret and the Perry campaign might have been ready to trot out the truth if it were necessary.

Medina was an open book already with her Truther,
Alex Jones connection. Anyone could have taken it from there.

Perry didn’t do robocalls against Medina on the Truther — no need. Love how her supporters are still supporting.

I know Perry wouldn’t be involved with that.
Medina already toast. No need to bother further.

Splitting the Tea Party is not true. The “true” Tea Party can not be split. The majority of Tea Party members are not on forums, they are not on GB, they are not at Republican meetings, they are not an organized entity. They are individuals that are sick and tired of BIG GOVERNMENT!
What’s wrong with having a “core” of supporters? I thought that is how people got elected in the first place.
