DIGG! Glenn Beck obscures Texas Governor’s race with 9/11 question

Digg hard. Tweet. Facebook. The works!

So Debra Medina spoke with Glenn Beck this morning on his radio talk show. Glenn saw fit to smear her with the claim that she is a 9/11 Truther. This is particularly interesting considering that the key issues of the race for the Governor’s Seat have been private property rights and state sovereignty. Having come from 4% in the polls all the way to 24% most recently from the PPP poll, Medina is now perceived as a threat to the establishment.

MEDINA MONEYBOMB!

What better way to distract voters from valid issues like burdensome taxes or oppressive government policies? Instead of conversing with Debra on a meaningful level, Beck decided it was more worthwhile to write her off as a conspiracy theorist. This is even more odd when you consider that only 16% of people in America now believe the official government explanation of the September 11th 2001 terror attacks!

This is off his web site

"We put this candidate on the air because we remember hammered by their supporters and I was sick and tired of being hammered by their supporters, quite honestly. Please don't, don't try to bully us or intimidate us into having a candidate on. We don't do local politics usually."

There was no way this was going to be good. I do believe this will be the end of Becks credibility. Youtube has all kinds of videos against him now on this.

"Obamney care," Nuff said.

lol

Love the Glenn Beck photo.

Book Bomb?

All of us who have one of Glen Becks books should mail it back to him with a comment. Can you imagine the confusion in his mail room if hundreds of packages start arriving daily? Hey Glen your the idiot!

Save postage, send a photo, fund money bomb instead

You might want to show your contempt with a photo of your ceremoniously disposing of Becks' books. I can think of a lot of great photos to suggest.

These photos shouldn't involve book burning, or occultic stuff, but should make it obvious that it will never be read again. Something like using dog crap for a book marker, squished into pages. You know what one good pictures worth, lol.

We need to get Maddow, Stewart and, hate to say it

but Olberman and company spreading this story. They hate Beck but would get this story legs, more Medina supporters , dollars and more people asking and googling"911 facts".

A Win Win scenerio

E Pluribus Unum

While this is likely a win

While this is likely a win for the 9/11 truth movement, I think it is a loss for the Medina campaign.

American's don't seem to have intellectual curiosity, so I suspect voters in TX will shy away from her this time. It may be different in a few years.

I 100% agree

Agreed!Time will show that you are right.

I

disagree. Medina's campaign contributions are certainly UP since Beck's FAILED ambush, and her support base has risen, as well.

Overall I think this was one of the best interviews that the MSM has done with Ron Paul. I still think that Glenn Beck is a total worm who kisses ass one moment, and then spouts off the next. Had Glenn Beck retracted what he said last month and would have done what Bill Maher did and say "Y'know I was wrong about you and now I've seen the light".. Instead he acted like he and Ron Paul were Batman and Robin which is annoying.

Beck is over the top and he plays things up wayy to much, for example the "threatening of his life"? C'mon I mean that was over played drama, and the other thing is...

Why does the MSM always have to say 9/11 Truthers are "dangerous" and "crazy"... This annoys me because there is enough loopholes and things that don't add up that there is NOTHING WRONG with questioning things, people like Beck make it sound like "Elvis is still alive wearing a tinfoil hat"... and nothing could be further from the truth. What is wrong with asking questions with things that don't add up?

I'm, sure that some 9/11 people will feel betrayed by Dr Paul's answers, but the truth is Ron Paul is not one to speculate about things and to do such a thing would be political suicide, so I believe he handled these questions honestly and truthfully., I mean remote control plans into the towers? Who in the hell believes that???? I suggest he read a little David Ray Griffin.....

The other thing was the "i'd french kiss you on the IRS issue"... THAT was just over the top fluff for his quest...

In the end this was a great interview and while I feel Beck is a worm, I do give him respect in the sense he never cut RP off and most importantly that interview probably converted many many many many people who otherwise would never actually listen to Ron Paul or his message...

Im bumpin this again

just because I love this picture!!!
Beck is goin down in a blaze of glory!

Here's the way you defuse the situation....

....if you are going to go on Glenn Beck's program:

Glenn: "Do you believe the government was any way involved with the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?"

Medina: "I believe those towers were brought down by planes being flown into them. There may be questions as to who knew what when and whether all the dots were connected, but there is no denying what we all saw on TV that morning of 9/11." (Or something to this effect)

Period. Defused. Move onto substantive issues.

Glenn Beck has been the most friendly and open person in the "mainstream media" to libertarians. He is much closer to the ideas of liberty than he was 2, 3, 4 years ago. That being said, he gets wound up about certain things. 9/11 truthers are one of those things. He thinks 9/11 truthers are completely nuts with no credibility whatsoever. If you are going to go on his program to try to discuss your candidacy, that is not the forum to discuss 9/11 conspiracy theories.

I honestly don't think it matters a hill of beans what Debra Medina thinks about 9/11. It is not an issue that matters to me one bit, and does not effect my view of the state as an oppressive organization of thugs. Frankly, I think the whole 9/11 truth thing is a big distraction and I would rather spend time on issues that will persuade others to the ideas of liberty and freedom.

Many people will look at this and just think "crazy," and that is why Medina made a big mistake by answering that question the way she did.

He's finally come out of the closet

Despite his seeming opposition to same-sex marriage on the basis that it would create a slippery slope towards polygamy (which at one time his Mormon religion endorsed), he has finally shown his true (Rainbow coalition) colors and admitted his desire to perform a sex act on Rick Perry!

Glenn Beck is gay???!!!

Wow, why is he being so tough on Medina, he was never this hard on Ron Paul. Could it be because she's a woman???!!!

Glenn Beck attacked Ron Paul during campaign

It was only after the presidential race, when Ron Paul was not a threat, that Glenn Beck became friendly with Ron Paul. During the campaign, Glenn Beck attacked Ron Paul supporters as potential terrorists.

Debra Medina is doing well in her campaign. Consequently, Glenn Beck attacks her. Same old, same old.

The more they slam people wanting to know more facts abouth 9/11

The more it makes me wonder who is hiding what

232 Diggs and it's not gone to the front page! Grrrr.

I was sure an anti-beck Digg would work...

I guess they didn't like an anti-Beck Digg coming from the liberty side.

Digg "truth" is selective, or half truth.

Wowza!

Already - look at all the lovely articles that are now popping up in Google News about Medina: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&source=hp&q=%22Debra+Medin...

Interesting how many of them paint Medina as a "nutjob". And that she is on "damage control". Really? What damage?

Let's see how this one plays out for a few more days...

Like the good doctor says

What matters most are the ideas in our heads. Now regarding this 9/11 issue, I must say I have seen far too many of "9/11 truthers" being prone to conspiracy ideas based on their half baked analysis. While I applaud their somewhat thorough analysis of various holes in official explanation of 9/11 attacks, I feel that the "truthers" ( including yours truly up until recently) have totally overlooked one important angle in 9/11 stories. And that is.... is it possible that the official stories are so full of holes because they were trying to cover up their sorry behinds inorder to mask their gross criminal negligence ? 3000 of our fellow citizens were murdered by some crazy retards who were motivated by the prospect of enjoying 72 prostitutes in Allah's w***house.And the Gubbamint agencies that were responsible to protect us failed terribly. And no one was fired. Could it be that everyone (starting from our commander-in-chief) should have been fired for their gross incompetence ? These are indeed some Valid questions.
And I think Debra should put out these open questions to Glen "the idiot" Beck in her next press release.

dirty tricks, then and now :

que bono ?

wrong motivation

You feel these thugs were motivated by virgins in the sky?

No afraid its not possible

You see gross negligence do not cause the laws of physics to simply stop applying suddenly.

The Abuse of Greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power. - Shakespeare

Blowback for Beck!

More liberal readers at Huffington Post are voicing their support for her remarks! This is NOT a right wing /left wing issue, yet it's picking up more supporters.

If this is an important issue to a voter, this will garner support. If this is not an important issue, then the other issues she supports will continue to garner support. Her appeal is she holds values that Texas voters see as positive. In the end, it's only TEXAS that matters.

I learned that the...

... GOP establishment and their lackeys have no respect for individuals, care little about democracy, the voters and anything else other than their own political power and graft. I don't know how Beck thinks this will help Perry in November, not that Perry will survive until then, but that must be Beck's hope. We have long memories. Am I glad I did not vote for McCain. Nor have I ever watched a Beck show. He is a non-entity to me - proud-hearted mean-spirited spoiled child.

Google News Debra Medina

And you'll find out that the damage is done. 283 critical articles on her comments.

The controlled media wants to bury Medina as they did with RP.

She was let alone when she was nowhere in the polls, but clearly when she became a threat to the bought-and-paid-for Perry and KBH they ordered a hit piece.

And GB delivered.

As he did with Ron Paul - remember the white supremacist hit piece.

They will try to do it to Rand as well. You'll see.

I had my hopes up with Debra but now I think she wont stand a chance - I would love to be wrong on this.

You mean readers of 283...

...articles who had never heard of Medina now knows about her. How can that be bad?. Those who despise Glen Beck, more than half the country, will sympathize with Medina.

Plano TX

Someone should send this

video to Glenn Beck. It seems to be ok for a talking head to imply that George Bush at least knew in advance of the 9/11 attacks but not for a political candidate to state that not all the facts have been examined??

How the DP created the Medina 911 incident.

First DP gets national recognition. WooHoo!

How did we use our notoriety?

We(?) press for the Joker to interview Medina.

Then We(?) have two days where active forum topics are 90% endorsements of that Jokers Brand (PT Barnum -Just spell my name right)

Now other news outlets have an excuse to think this is big news.

In the mean time the Patriot Act is sliding through Congress, the Health Care enslavement bill nears completion and a big battle is killing Afghans by the kilo.

A talking heads ratings go up, up, up. The MSM gains credibility. And we're left holding the sh!t end to the stick.

We're up against the master of manipulation and they jerked our knees right out from under us.
