Transcript of the Medina/Beck 9/11 Truth Discussion
Has anyone noticed that Debra never said she was a believer in 9/11 Truth during Beck's interview?
She stated in the interview that:
1) This is the first time she's heard the accusation.
2) She doesn't have the evidence.
3) She SPECIFICALLY said she didn't believe the government was involved.
4) She doesn't know of anybody in her campaign that are Truthers.
The majority of media "reports" rarely show much of the transcript, if any, while loudly proclaiming the assumption that "Medina is a Truther!! Shocking!!".

Transcript of the 9/11 Truther topic between Medina and Beck:
(full transcript here --> http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/196/36197/ )
GLENN: I have when I said that I was going to have you on, you can't imagine the mail pro and con that I received. There was a theme that ran against you and that is you are a 9/11 Truther.
MEDINA: Well, there's lots of mud that people would like to throw at Debra Medina and make stick. The truth is I'm an everyday ordinary person. I am fighting for the things that our founders fought for, those very basic principles of a constitutional republic, and I'm going to champion people that hold their government accountable, hold me accountable but that's the first time I've heard that accusation. So that's an interesting one.
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.
GLENN: I think the people of America might think that might be a yes.
MEDINA: Well
GLENN: Do you have advisors, do you have advisor
MEDINA: I'm not going to take a position.
GLENN: That's fine.
MEDINA: These questions have been raised and they are not answered.
GLENN: Do you have advisors that advise you or people that are around you that are 9/11 Truthers?
MEDINA: Not to my knowledge.
GLENN: Would you, if you found out that there were, would you disavow them like the president should have but I mean, he escorted them out in the middle of the night. Van Jones was a 9/11 Truther. If you found out that people around you are advising you were 9/11 Truthers, would you disavow them or allow them to continue to advise you?
MEDINA: Well, you know, that's a federal issue. We're very focused on issues in Texas, on Texas state government. I'm certainly not into mind control or thought policing people.
GLENN: No, that's a pretty big one.
MEDINA: We've got a very diverse team in this state and that's because Texans are standing shoulder to shoulder to support and defend the Constitution. I frankly don't have time, you know, to go through and do psychological testing on people and know every thought or detail that they have.
GLENN: No, I don't think it's psychological at all.
MEDINA: I don't see us having a team of radical individuals, if you will. I think that there are certainly some that are looking, trying to use scare tactics. I you know, are there people?
GLENN: No, I don't think they're scare tactics. Debra, you've answered the question.
MEDINA: Yeah, are there people that have tried to come and be a part of our team
GLENN: Right.
MEDINA: that have not gotten on the team? Absolutely there are. But I can't
GLENN: Yeah, I understand. Debra, you've answered the question.
MEDINA: You know, I don't know. That's so out of context, it's difficult for me to answer.
GLENN: There's
MEDINA: I think it would depend on, you know, how vocal they were about that and how much I thought it colored whatever other talent they brought to the table.
GLENN: Yeah. Okay, Debra, thank you very much. I appreciate it and best of luck to you.
MEDINA: Thank you, Glenn.
GLENN: You bet. Bye bye. I think
This transcript needs to go viral...

9/12 forum
Weebles, did you make a thread like this on the 9/12 forum? I wonder what their reaction would be.
I've been...
I've been lurking over at 912 for a day or two now and all I see is sniping and name-calling. Not sure anyone is being persuaded by anything. To me it looks like there is no hope for reconciliation between the neocon vs jeffersonian divide and there will be a permanent hardline split in ranks.
Personally, I think this a good thing and needs to happen sooner rather than later as it is my theory and belief that all this turmoil has been intentionally created by the neocons to create confusion.
The neocons are welcome to keep what's left of the 912/Tea Party carcass as far as I'm concerned. Liberty-minded jeffersonians need a new and more refined/defined banner that can't be as easily confused with neocon tripe.
:)

I think that you are entirely correct.
Some of my extended family that are in and out of the 912 thing say exactly what you are saying, down to the "needs to happen sooner rather than later" part. I would have to agree with what they are telling me.
Is it too much to hope that Glen's timing was way WAY off? Time will tell, of course.
Although it would be nice to attempt to save the Tea Party movement. A lot of it was a lot more spontaneous than most credit it for.
~Live life to its fullest, with an open heart, open arms and most important... an open mind~
Yah...
The Tea Party may have started out as a Ron Paul fundraising movement, but it has been overwhelmed numerically by mostly anti-Obama anti-health care bill reactionaries that aren't so much concerned with govt big spending but that republicans should be the ones in control of the big spending. Most of them seem to be virulently and intolerantly pro-war.
They outnumber us now. Time to remove their veil, shine the light on them and move on. "Tea Party" is just two words.
:p
Wonder what the new neocon-excluding banner will be? I know it will happen spontaneously but I'm impatient...
:)

"Wobbles but doesn't fall down" - weebles
First, it needs to be
looked at in another context.
Glenn Beck doesn't make the rules about what people can think.
He's just a blowhard asshole with neocon tendencies.
Just like some of these new user names I see coming up here attempting to play Political Correctness Cop and run the neocon war flag up the flagpole, and defending Beck's anti-truth position.
"I think the people of America might think that might be a yes."
I think the people of America might be more intelligent than Glenn Beck.*
*That's only one (1) "might" used in a sentence.
"I Don't"..."I Don't"

2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
The truth shall set you free
Everyone knows it was an inside job so let's move on to arresting and prosecuting the real perpeTRAITORS. Otherwise you can count on another "terrorist attack" by the same folks that brought you the Patriot Act, Homeland Security Act, etc..
Where did she
"SPECIFICALLY said she didn't believe the government was involved" ??
She said....
I don't, I don't have all of the evidence there, Glenn. So I don't
Your accusation of stuttering doesn't hold when you take "So I don't" into consideration and context.
She said "I don't" TWICE independent of "I don't have all of the evidence"

"Wobbles but doesn't fall down" - weebles
yes weebles
when did people quit learning to listen or read or comprehend what they are listening or reading??? i guess Beck needs to learn again too.

here...read slowly (something Beck can't do)
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, (the transcript should read, "I don't ."

You're taking that out of context.
Look at the whole sentence.
She said "I don't, I don't have all of the evidence there, Glenn."
If you listen to it, it doesn't sound like two separate sentences. It sounded like she started the sentence with "I don't" in a stuttering way and then restarted the sentence and finished it. People do that a lot when they talk.
Why do you...
Why do you take the THIRD "I don't" out of your so-called "context"?
She did not just say, "I don't, I don't have all of the evidence there, Glenn."
In response to:
"Do you believe the government was any way involved with the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?"
She said:
"I don't, I don't have all of the evidence there, Glenn. SO I DON'T"

If you wish hard enough
you can see something that's not there. Come on, you can do it!
This must mean a lot to you. Keep trying!

"Wobbles but doesn't fall down" - weebles
watch some of her interviews and town meetings...
she answers quickly and moves on. she said, "I don't." answering the question and then moved on with another statement that she doesn't have all the information. She answers questions this way often in many interviews and town halls that i've watched of her. she expects people to listen carefully and not do what Beck did and "not hear" or "ignore" the 1st words she says to answer the question bluntly and concisely. the transcriber should have put a period there and not a comma. she was not stuttering or stammering.
X
2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Regardless, obviously it's not clear.
That's why I hear one thing and you hear another.
Dr. Paul was very clear when Beck asked him whether he thought 9/11 was an inside job.
She's at fault at the very least for not being clear enough so that she couldn't be misunderstood.
On second thought, look at the last sentence in that paragraph. She says "So I've not taken a position on that." This sounds like she's not taking a position on whether 9/11 was an inside job.
So I have to disagree with you even more so. She's clearly not taking a position on whether 9/11 was an inside job or not.
What's not clear?
In response to:
"Do you believe the government was any way involved with the bringing down of the World Trade Centers on 9/11?"
She said:
"I don't, I don't have all of the evidence there, Glenn. SO I DON'T"
What is not clear about the THIRD "I don't" in "So I don't". Your "context" left out the third instance? Why? Didn't see it? Was inconvienent for your point?
???
.
"Wobbles but doesn't fall down" - weebles
ok
i may give you that point she could have been clearer speaking. Beck was on an agenda to nail her on this. she recognized this and cleared up the issue on her web-site, making it very clear.

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.

2Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
I dont think he was trying to nail her.
I think he was just trying to find out, because he has to be careful not to seem like he supports anyone that is 9/11 Truther. He has to do this to protect his credibility, because he has condemned Van Jones for being a Truther. Imagine if he started praising her, and it was later found out she was a Truther. What would happen? Racheal Madow and others from the left would have begun attacking him for supporting a Truther. They would have a field day with it. Something like that would hurt him and his show. Beck is not stupid.
There were indeed rumors on the net that she was a truther. Someone posted a link earlier. I don't have it on hand unfortunately.
has he ever asked Judge Napolitano
if he is a 9/11 truther? yet the Judge loved her...

You obviously didn't hear the rest of the show.
Like you, he made something of it that it wasn't, giggling and spouting nonsense for 45 minutes after she was gone. I'm sure you can find it on the 'net somewhere, if you're genuinely interested.
And there were no rumors that she was a truther. Stop taking everything Beck says as gospel. Read a little.

There certainly were rumors that she was a Truther.
Here's one here: http://txconservative.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/inside-the-me...
Did you actually read that article?
Utter fail.
Where is the "rumor" that Medina is a truther? It's the usual disjointed rambling that comes from someone whining about Medina's supporters. And I should note, it was only posted the day before.
Keep trying!

i heard "Rumors" about you too...
but truth is not based on "rumors". read what she clearly said to Beck or on her web-site. don't be like Beck and just make it up because you want to.

Beck did what you're supposed to do when there is rumors.
You go to the person and ask them to confirm or deny the rumor. She wouldn't. She said she hasn't taken a position.
