Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, February 12, 2010

In a radio interview with Glenn Beck, Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina refused to say whether she believed the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 attacks. "I don't have all of the evidence there Glenn so I'm not in a place, I have not been out publicly questioning that," Medina responded. "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 the evidence there, so I have not taken a position on that."

this woman made a LOT of people take notice in the debate last week..

MUCH more than the two dems did last friday night which I am having trouble finding a report on much less someone who actually watched it.
but on a local show, this woman clarified her stance..she said she DIDNT believe someone in the government had anything to do with 9/11 but EVEN then ...she paused and stuttered a little....

result will be...
forgettaboutit

GOODHAIR will win again

Even nutbag Glenn Beck was having difficulty getting a sane answer

Does this wording scream out brainless statist lefty moron or what? Just attack everyone on the opposite side, even if the two being attack are very much opposites themselves.

Another advertisement for the FauxNews heads to once again have to admit to the complete fraud of Glenn Beck. He must interview the latest "fad" Debra Medina. But he is so transparent that he cannot hide his true agenda on the very first question. Talk about hijacking a movement. His good buddy Palin already endorsed Perry for governor. Which candidate better represents the ideals of the tea party movement? Warning to Tea Party Nation

Be careful about Sarah Palin and other establishment Republicans. Palin is currently playing both sides. She is promoting Big Government neocons such as John McCain on the one hand, and sincere conservative-libertarians such as Rand Paul on the other hand. But if one wants a real barometer of Palin's true colors, look no further than her endorsement of Rick Perry in Texas.

Perry is the quintessential establishment Republican. Perry has been in office for some 9 years, and what has he done to thwart the NWO in Texas? Nothing! Perry is even a Bilderberg Group attendee. What has he done for State sovereignty in Texas? Nothing! In fact, he supports the North American Union and the NAFTA superhighway. What has he done to resist Obama's universal health care proposals? Nothing! What has he done to protect the citizens of Texas against an emerging Police State? Nothing! What has he done to fight illegal immigration? Nothing!

As a result of both Rick Perry's establishment business-as-usual politics in Texas and the proliferating grassroots Tea Party movement, counterattacking establishment politics, a Tea Partier herself has entered the race for Texas governor. Her name is Debra Medina. As the Tea Party Nation in Texas already knows, Medina is one of you.

Medina is committed to preserving Texas' independence and sovereignty. She is opposed to the Patriot Act. She will secure the Texas border. She will give Texas Vermont-style open carry freedoms for gun owners. She wants to get rid of unconstitutional property taxes in Texas. She will stop the NAFTA superhighway. Medina is the real deal.

Tea Parties are supposed to be about putting principle over politics, supporting and defending the US Constitution, supporting limited government and personal liberty, getting rid of the Federal Reserve, abolishing the IRS, ending preemptive and pervasive wars, and putting truth and integrity back into government.

Does this wording scream out brainless statist lefty moron or what?

No. Just somebody wioth a firm grip on reality, versus the Vicks induced tears of 9-12 morons like Beck, who may or may not have raped and killed a young girl.

As the Tea Party Nation in Texas already knows, Medina is one of you.

ie. batshit crazy. If you aren't a truther she's batshit crazy for being one. If you are a truther, she's batshit crazy for saying 9-11 really wasn't important.

Isn't a truther one of those nitwit who believes that GWB was behind it?

sn't a truther one of those nitwit who believes that GWB was behind it?

Not hardly. A truther is just that... someone who wants the truth.

It blows my mind that some people will believe that our government was behind the 9/11 attacks, created tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes that collectively killed hundreds of thousands.....BUT....there is just NO WAY that Obama's birth certificate fraud is even a remote possibility. They also insist that Obama deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, jihadi terrorists deserve the same rights as US Citizens, convicted murders deserve pity and understanding, but defenseless fetuses deserve to be hacked and sucked out of a mother's womb if she chooses that having a child is too inconvenient.

I'm sorry...what was the question??

I'm sorry...what was the question??
Your choice:
Since the Constitution is obviously fit only to wipe your ass with, why didn't the Founding Fathers include perforations?
Why can't the government stay out of my finances and stay in women's medical appointments?
Will a Republican president ever win a war?
Where are those pesky Iraqi WMD?
What happened to those Saddam/Osama hugfest photos?
Republicans favorite-How did Clinton manage four terms and who is this Dubya fellow lefties talk about?

I'm going with will a republican president ever win a war. Takes balls to win a war.

Beck's one question interview with Debra Medina shouldn't be called an "Ambush" the appropriate term here is "Gang Rape"

Medina's answer was basically "I Don't Have an Opinion"...there are still question that haven't been answered" Same thing that some members of the 9/11 Commission have been saying...

NO OPINION !!! "I TAKE THAT AS A YES!" screamed Beck

Some People believe things that others don't..I don't believe that A person can wear "Magic Underwear" that will keep you from harm and/or sin"

Some "Magic Underwear Truthers" do

I'm just Saying..

BTW...Beck, Thanks for the mental picture...that NONE of us wanted to have ..You and Perry "French Kissing"

I think I just thru up a little..

Beck's lost all his advertisers in the UK. No commercials the past 3 days. They know a loon when they see one.

A loon with a massive audience. A loon reporting news and information that is censored elsewhere. A loon that brings experts on his show and actually lets them speak uninterrupted. Ever watch Chris Matthews? Few people do, but if his guest agrees with him, he might get most of a sentence out. If the guest disagrees, he'll be lucky to get more than four or five words.

A 'loon' with a high school diploma who pulls shit out of his ass. If Beck were on the radio, his screener would screen out callers who didn't agree with him like all the right wing shock jocks do.

A loon with a massive audience.

Judge Judy has a larger audience than Beck. You call 1% of the U.S. population "massive"?

Isn't a truther one of those nitwit who believes that GWB was behind it?

No. A Truther wants all the questions answered. Even the 911 commission said their report was flawed by false information and government stonewalling.

911 rejects own report

In your little fantasy world, every "crazy" notion you can possibly think of is attributed to a pejorative called "truther". Shows how ignorant or dishonest you really are.

www.globalresearch.ca

According to the new New York Times/CBS News poll, only 16% of Americans think the government is telling the truth about 9/11 and the intelligence prior to the attacks:

"Do you think members of the Bush Administration are telling the truth, are mostly telling the truth but hiding something, or are they mostly lying?

Telling the truth 16%

Hiding something 53%

Mostly lying 28%

Not sure 3%"

The 84% figure mirrors other recent polls on the same issue. A Canadian Poll put the figure at 85%. A CNN poll had the figure at 89%. Over 80% supported the stance of Charlie Sheen when he went public with his opinions on 9/11 as an inside job.

It took 35 plus years for the majority of Americans to wake up to the fact that the assassination of JFK was a government operation. It has only take five years for MORE Americans to wake up to the fact that 9/11 was an inside job on behalf of the Neoconservative crime syndicate within the US.

What do the locals think about Medina's chances now? http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=vXHUNshRU3g

YouTube says " The URL contained a malformed video ID" with that link (not kidding).

I hope Farouk Shami becomes the Next Governor.

Not sure which one you mean. If one works, there are dozens more in the 'related videos' area.

Of course there's also the kidnapping video that the neo-cons declared to be a fake after the events.

Or the title is: Callers Reaction to Debra Medina on KLIF 570

Glen (or Glenda) Beck did wot now?

Cut the legs off of Deb Medina in a national interview in order to support Perry fer Texas Governor?

Coupla things here.

First, Glen Beck, like all the other propagandists at FOX, is a GOP hack despite all this TeaBag talk he's been spewing recently.

Second, fer a conspiracy nut like Beck to dismiss this chick cos she has questions about 9/11 that remain unanswered is ironically delicious.

Third, Perry has this race in the bag.

A loon reporting news and information that is censored elsewhere.

That old canard? LOL.

Yer so-called censored stories were manufactured outrage moments fer the most part ususally followed by massive whining that nobody else was covering them but FOX, which was mostly a lie.

Ya got the "loon" part right anyways.

Be Well.

So now the word truth has taken on a negitive meaning in moron America?

No wonder the US has the lowest education scores in the western world.

Americanz is stupid.
24ahead.com

Beck is flat out correct...

About wot?

Rex has assumed the Cadenbourne Identity now?

That's funneh.

Be Well.

Watched it (Medina). Another disk jockey who's an expert? Just like WMD's in Iraq when all the talking heads were sure there were WMD's and anyone opposing the war beforehand were anti-American terrorist huggers.

I listen to NPR, where I can hear stories about current events unfiltered, unbiased, and in depth.

I thought you watched the video? The DJ isn't touting any opinion. He simply invited listener comment to whether this event affected the opinion of her.

#25 spud
Nobody has the race down. Not even close. In Texas, you must get 50% or there is a run-off. This is very likely to happen.

I did. 1:30 he gives his own opinion.

Nobody has the race down. Not even close. In Texas, you must get 50% or there is a run-off. This is very likely to happen.

The RCP poll average right now is Perry 43.7 Hutchinson 28.0 and Medina 19.7.

There will be a run-off and Perry will win.

Watch and see.

Spud's not a huge fan of Perry by any means and would much rather see Hutchinson or Medina in the Governor's mansion.

Interesting to watch Ron Paul's response to Medina's run here. Being his former campaign co-ordinator and politically aligned with him on most issues Spud thought that RP would come out and endorse her openly but apparently GOP internal politics make that impossible. He came as close as he could with a nice letter though.

Be Well.

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is, but it sure looks like someone is trying to read into Medina's comments something that is not there.

Are we all so blind to the truth now that to say, "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 the evidence there, so I have not taken a position on that.", is turned into a political hot potato by a actor like Beck?

Of course there is some very good questions that have been raised. It's about time we address them. Beck is a puppet and a actor for the GOP. Of course he would not seek the truth and will attack anyone who does. It's all republicans can do anymore, raise a fuss and create straw man arguments based in inuendo.

Assumed?

Welcome back, Rex. I'm glad to know this so I won't wear my angora sweater. Tears stain it so easily.

Perry is a prick!!!! No 2 ways about that.

Hutchinson is a big oil shill, like bushco. but she seems to have a head on her shoulders, unlike bushco.

Swami is a used car salesman, with a dazzling personality.

Don't know Medina.

Bill White (ex mayor of houston) FTW. That's right, I predict a democrat governor for texas.

Ringmaster once again plays the fool. Beck criticized Bush for years on the radio while he was in office just like Savage

Beck asked her a simple question. It appears to me that Medina either (a) believes the U.S. was involved in 9/11 and didn't want to say it, or (b) doesn't believe it but is afraid of offending 9/11 truthers among her voters. In either case, the response doesn't make her look good as a candidate for public office.

Too bad Air America went bust. I'm sure if she had been interviewed on one of their stations she would of been more forthcoming. Extreme lefter's are all about dis-closer, transparency, truth, and the American way.

well I KNOW I AM A TRUTHER>.

yes boys and girls I admit it and I am now exposed.

I believe the government was behind 9/11

how do I know this...because the other day I was talking to ELvis about the aliens in area 54 and even ELVIS agreed.

do do

Bill White (ex mayor of houston) FTW. That's right, I predict a democrat governor for texas.

#29 | Posted by Lipzoidial at 2010

well you would be right to predict that white will be the candidate because his oppenent made a bigger gaff in the debate...he said that the ILLEGALS in his business are there because there are simply no white people who will work there.
he designed some sort of cosmetic and is a billionaire who moved here from the middle east.

AND PERRY........while im not all gaga over him and never have been....kay bailey simply isnt going over nearly the same as she would if she were running for reelection to the senate.

but if you think that we in texas will move towards a democrat and THUS become more like the liberal states....I really dont think so..

THUS become more like the liberal states.

you know

michiagn
california
new york..

as in out of work and bankrupt

seriously....
texas has been tops on economy during this recession on jobs...etc....anyone who thinks that perry had nothing to do with that is being silly.

I guess all you libs are talking about Van Jones when you talk about 9/11/01.

#22 | Posted by JeffnDenmark

Good point, when the word "truth" is an insult, you know the Land of Freedumb has drank the Orwellian Kool-aid...

Regarding 9/11. Don't know about a lot of the conspiracy theories, but one thing does present itself as extremely odd that day in Manhattan. World Trade Center Building #7. Never hit by an airplane, and two building between it and the Twin Towers blocked the vast majority of the debris from the falling Towers. Yet, about 8 hours or so after the second tower fell, WTC7, a building with a steel infrastructure, collapsed in on itself at freefall speed like a house of cards. This has never been adequately explained, just desperate, rightard theories ten times as hilarious as the wildest conspiracy theory. But stupid is as stupid does, and an idiot nation is duped once again...

Of course rcade would take sides with the political fallacy of the establishment media in keeping the big govt/globalist agenda of the status quo intact. In addition to the politico poll, you might also want to review the 2006 polls again (#16 | Posted by L_RContrarian at 2010-02-13 03:13 AM | Reply | Flag: ). You are actuality in the minority, your warped opinion of what qualifies one as a candidate notwithstanding. statesman.com

All of a sudden, every viewpoint and every opinion of every individual Medina had talked to suddenly became attributed to her as the media aggressively tried to shift the debate away from the issues that have made her so popular in an attempt to tear her down. Beck subsequently expressed his desire to "french kiss" Rick Perry and the fix was in.

Medina has never even talked about 9/11 as part of her platform, but that didn't stop Hutchinson and Perry operatives flooding Twitter with hoax controversies about her supposed mental instability for daring to say that Americans have the right to question their government.

Within an hour of her appearance on Beck's show, robo-calls from the Perry and Hutchinson campaigns went out attacking Medina as a "9/11 truther".

"Wow!! Isn't that interesting. How was Mr. Perry's team so ready to start a massive robo blitz with this new Truther news so quick? Looks like someone is getting scared, and that he had a little help from a friend."

Indeed, for such calls to be launched so soon after Medina's appearance, it's blatant that Beck's ambush journalism was carefully planned from the very beginning. Perry and Hutchinson were primed to capitalize upon the fake controversy before it even happened.

Nobody has the race down. Not even close. In Texas, you must get 50% or there is a run-off. This is very likely to happen.

#25 | Posted by L_RContrarian

Are you speaking of the party primary or general election? There is no run-off for Governor in the general election. You just need a plurality of the votes.

#39 txlibtn
This is the case in the primary in March.

Of course rcade would take sides with the political fallacy of the establishment media in keeping the big govt/globalist agenda of the status quo intact.

I think most conspiracy theories come from people who need to spend less time bogarting the bong.

You idiots are missing the whole point...

there is a conspiracy to destroy America...

it is created by the Federal Reserve Board,
the International Banks/Investments Swindlers,
Career Pols that take campaign contributions from
foreign governments and greedy American Corporations
the China Connection, the WH, the Corporate Media,
All of the above are conspiring to destroy the American Economy and prepare the way for a new global currency, and world domination by a few elites, that control all the monetary, banking,
and investments around the globe.

It is going to take NON Career Pols to get to the truth, and unmask it to the American people, and literally take back their Gover't and country before it is too late.

Medina is such a candidate and that is the point.
She is a concerned citizen/representative...not a millionare crook, or Career Pol of a American Corrupt Democrat, or Rep. Party.

We must bring back citizen Reps back to the mainstream to uncover and stop the destruction of our economy and way of life.

This 9/11 Truther POS is just a smoke screen to divert attention that Median was making real progress as a citizen rep. with no ties to any of
the Nationalization and Internationalization...
of the evil corrupt entities that seek to install
slave labor, for obscene profits, instead of promoting economic independence and true freedom.

Don't be fooled...or you will be in truth a "useful Idiot"...the phrase Joe Stalin made so famous after he murdered 20 million Russians, and Ukranians...
and multitudes of others we don't even know the extent...

Oh it couldn't happen in America...Beware!

Hey Rcade. Another governor candidate also dares to proclaim he is not sure about 9/11 official story. Aren't you interested in posting this story? The media is keeping it quiet. As such, so will you.

www.khou.com

LOL. Rcade is listening? I'll give ya credit for posting it. Now if you'll just respond to many previous questioning of certain hard-hitting threads disappearing within hours or after running mostly in overnight hours.
