Glenn Beck trashes Debra Medina | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 510267 United States 02/11/2010 11:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Regardless of what Beck may or may not be. Would you agree with him that Truthers are laughable and there should not be an independent investigation into 9/11 to clear up questions? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 888721There is a fine line to be drawn on these things - if he were to question whether there was a cruise missile launched at the Pentagon he would quite rightly find his ass on the street the very next day! Demanding that those who allowed 911 to go through, (much like Pearl Harbour), investigate and expose themselves is ludicrously naieve, especially when they own your TV network! leave Beck alone! - he is doing a fine job of waking the public up, even though he doesn't get the whole picture and even if he did it would be foolish and impolitic of him to show it! Glenn Beck don't have to question anything. All Glenn Beck has to do is quite attacking those who do. What would be so wrong with that? Why leave Glenn Beck alone when he ATTACKS American citizens exercising their Consitutional Rights to question government as our Founding Fathers did? No one is asking him to do the questioning or to support the People doing so.. Glenn Beck is a shill bastard because he is attacking the People, his fellow American citizens for doing what they have a right to do while claiming he is for the Constitution and the People. He doesn't even need to address the issue, but he is compelled to label and persecute those who do. You tell me why??? The answer to that question should be crystal clear. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 794732 United States 02/11/2010 11:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is Medina's response via her website which I was on donating to her after listening to the absolute smear campaign interview. I suggest you all do the same. Medina Campaign Responds to Glenn Beck Interview by Debra Medina on Feb 11, 2010 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. |

The crystal clear answer is that he WANTS to ridicule 9/11 Truth for some reason. He does not need too and it is unchristian and anti-american too, but he wants too (read past posts from this AC). For some reason he wants to attack the message and label the messenger rather than support an independent investigation or ignore the issue altogether. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 687755 United States 02/12/2010 12:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Im curious. Even if Medina had said that she thought the gov was responsible for 9/11 (which she did not) what difference does it make? She is entitled to her own opinion. Elected reps are elected to represent the people who put them in office and since they are elected by popular vote its their job to represent what the majority of the people want. Reps are still entitled to have their own personal opinion but their personal opinion does not become that of the people who voted for them. The people need to have their own opinions. This is why Ive never understood why it matters what politicians believe personally. As long as they do and say what the people who vote them into office want (even if its what the rep does not believe personally, its not the reps job to give their personal opinion) what difference does it make? Im not even sure what we need reps for in this day and age with the internet. Back in the day we had them since there was no quick means of communication with DC. An area would elect one person who they trusted to truthly represent them in DC and they sent that one person to whatever was taking place where laws were decided what they wanted. Why cant each person speak for themselves? It wouls save tons of money and headaches. |

He is studying history and is learning, what he has said on his show is the truth about history. Progressives, communist movement, and how it got started. The way it wants to change our government, and make it so they are the ones who no best for you. Start studying history you'll find out what is important and what can wait. I haven't heard him say again thing bad a Texas. He says it is a great state with the right tax base and smaller government and good for businesses. Talking about the 911 truther movement is short sighted of people, when your government is taking away your freedom bit by bit. Elect who you what in Texas just make sure they are not a wolf in sheep clothing. It doesn't matter how Glen Beck feels about them. It doesn't make Glen Beck a government plant either. |

Just remember that the same is true about ALL conspiracy theories. Just because you don't know the whole truth does not mean the entire statement is a lie, therefore it is worth looking into. What evidence has Beck shown that makes it right for him to persecute Truthers as being terrorists or even wrong about anything? NOTHING! He just labels... If you love Beck so much and he is so much into history then perhaps he has shown you who started the Tea Parties? NO?? I didn't think so... IT WAS THE TRUTHERS (check it out for yourself). It was people who thought their government was really, truly capable of doing such things. Seriously, check it out... Let your eyes be OPENED! The Tea Parties started long long ago and they were started by those who DO NOT TRUST their government and WHO BELIEVE their government "could" do such things as 9/11. Just look. I mean seriously LOOK (don't believe ANYTHING chase FACTS). Then ask youself... Why does Glenn Beck persecute Truthers? Why not just ignore them or make no comment if he does not know the facts? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 838167 United States 02/12/2010 10:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Belo-owned Dallas Morning News continues to trash her this morning, February 12, 2010. The article is at the dallasnews dot com site, story "Debra Medina's 9/11 remark pushes campaign off track". The Dallas Morning News arrived a bit late this morning, 6am in crisp, snow-chilled print, but it quickly became hot and creased in my hands as I read this article. The article serves to minimize Medina politically, based only on the perception she doesn't embrace the official 9/11 account. Medina is quoted as saying "I'm not going to take a position where questions have been raised and not answered." Contrast this to Hutchison and Perry, whose positions are quoted in the article, both indicating we should disregard Medina because her implied stance dishonors the troops. Now, I'll quote some Beck from the article: "I think I can write her off the list," he said. "Wow, the fastest way back to 4 percent" in polls. And the article ends with a Buchanan quote: "It is a mistake," Buchanan said. "My expectation is that she'll pay a price." With quotes like this, we can form our own opinions concerning the agenda of the Dallas News. The reader replies to the article and to the dallasnews dot com poltical blog are more in line with what I've seen here on GLP. At least the TV ads are serving the voters, as Perry and Hutchison continue exposing each others' poor ethics. I hope these two experienced politicians kick enough dirt on each other that Texas voters will not serve a popularity contest. I'm looking forward to stick it to these career politicians on March 2 |

She didnt say she thought/thinks that. She said she didnt have all the facts. Its a shame that more people dont get all the facts before they pass judgment. With that being said do you honestly believe that the gov would never harm it's own citizens? If so then you really need to google the Tuskegee syphillis experiment and operation northwood for starters. Do these documented historical facts mean that the gov was reaponsible for 9/11? No. What it does mean is that its necessary to be skeptical, open minded, ask quesitons, look at all the facts presented from all angles, and to research on your own to see if facts have been distorted or supressed. Climategate is an excellent example of this. Still Medina did not say that she believed the fed gov was behind 9/11. If you are afraid of the US government and you live in this country then move. Any one who thinks that our own government mastered the 9/11 attack and this person is running for a public office then good for Glenn to press when he did. Exactly, I say the same thing to the kooks all the time. If you think the U.S. government carried out 9/11 you need to get the heck out of this country! I do not believe the government carried out 9/11, but I do not believe the official 9/11 story either. Does that mean I shoud leave the country because I do not believe an official government position? You are a fool. Then WTF do you believe? I know the tooth fairy did it. |
