Medina strikes back after 9/11 comments (repeats debunked truther claim as evidence)
ABC News Houston ^ | 02/12/2010 | Ted Oberg

Posted on 02/15/2010 7:58:48 AM PST by BuckeyeTexan

One day after Republican candidate for governor Debra Medina's insurgent campaign hit a speed bump, she's striking back. After comments on Glenn Beck's radio show Thursday that seemed to support 9/11 conspiracy theories, she says she was set up by her opponents.

-snip-

We sat down with Medina to put the comments and her campaign in focus.

It is seemingly all Debra Medina can talk about now.

-snip-

In her news conference Friday, it is clear Medina was trying to clean up the mess. But in our interview with her hours after the Beck radio show, she repeated there are still questions that need to be answered. On Friday, she told reporters she is curious why no New York City police officers died in the towers when so many firefighters did. That's not true, however, as 60 police officers were killed.

We've posted more of our interview with Medina here so you can hear thoughts on 9/11 conspiracies and President Barack Obama's citizenship.

The I don't response:

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.

That deserves to be repeated.

The interesting thing about the complaints people have (TTC, HPV) is that in both cases, he backed down when the people spoke up about it. I would rather have someone who is wrong on some things but listens to the people than someone who is wrong and stubborn.
TTC = Trans-Texas Corridor

HPV = Human Papillomavirus Quadrivalent (Gardasil)

Thanks for the quote.

I have not been out publicly questioning that.

Publicly? How about privately?

I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard.

Very good? As in the question regarding why no NYPD officers died in the WTC when so many NYFD firemen did? Is that one of the very good questions?

Ugh.

A lot of people want her simply because she isn't one of the others and they end up projecting their own beliefs on her.

Exactly, but now it appears that it will be a race between establishment RINO Rick, establishment Kay-Bailout, and establishment Ed (the Dem) White.

(I think Farouk Sham-WoW also self-destructed.)

Sounds pretty straightforward an answer to me.

Yes, I heard Jeff Bolton this morning saying that it was a set up by the Perry campaign.

He isn't. Yes, we have a lot of complaints, but on balance, you would be hard pressed to find a better gov. The interesting thing about the complaints people have (TTC, HPV) is that in both cases, he backed down when the people spoke up about it. I would rather have someone who is wrong on some things but listens to the people than someone who is wrong and stubborn.

I'm voting Perry.

I am not a Texan, but if I were, I would not care much for either of the three GOP contestants. Is that crazy old Kinky Friedman running as an indy this time?

I’ve not heard her say that. It is totally off the wall for anyone to believe such nonsense.

Send me a link where she says that she believes 911 was an inside job and I will drop my support for her.

Until now, all I’ve seen is that there are questions that remain.

I think he has gone back to his quasi-Marxist hippie roots and endorsed Sham Wow Shami.

Is the belief that the government had some foreknowledge of 9/11 more or less dangerous than

She thinks that the police all knew about it in advance and stayed away while the firemen went in, she is crazy as a loon.

Are you serious? Did Jeff Bolton say that?
