In her words on KLIF 570, Debra Medina speaks to the pathetic (my words) display put on by a “Sunshine Patriot” (my words)…
Listen to this woman speak and compare it to the polish and spin of the Beck Perry gang. Sounds like she never even considered the question and when asked, understood it in a different way than Beck’s intent (see 3:06 mark)
But that does not matter… Anyway you slice this…
The Great CHAMPION of QUESTIONING Your Government with Boldness…
Has been CALLED OUT.. for the hypocritical hidden agenda fraud he (Glenn Beck) is…
And now we also learn, he is just a Punk Bully with a Megaphone… PATHETIC!
(OK… I’m done with the Medina / Beck thing… Her official response is below the audio and you can see my breakdown of the original interview here.)
Here’s the call where Debra Medina says:
“There was a 9/11 commission that did a report and there’s great bodies of that report that are confidential data. You don’t know what’s in that report, I presume you don’t know what’s in that report. I don’t know what’s in that report.
“And I’m going to respect the Right of Citizens to ask questions of their government and that’s what I’m trying to say here.
“From Glenn Beck that CHAMPIONS People Questioning Government to ask me, I think about, whether or not I think people should be asking questions of the government…
“Yes, people should be asking questions of the government. We have asked those questions about Global Warming, we’ve asked them about 9/11, we’ve asked them about the president’s birth certificate… there’s all kinds of questions…
“The real underlying sentiment here is that why in a free society do we have so many questions about what our governments been doing. Do many of us feel like, apparently we do, that we’re being lied to.
“I expect the people of Texas to hold me accountable and to ask me hard questions, I expect that we are going to open the books. We are going to make it very clear what’s going on…”

Medina Campaign Responds to Glenn Beck Interview
by Debra Medina on Feb 11, 2010I 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.

Were it not clear before yesterday in the manner which Glenn Beck sandbagged and set a trap for surging Texas gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina who was rising in the polls and closing in on establishment insiders Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchinson, it should be clear now that Glenn Beck is an inside job, an establishment status quo shill masquerading and posing as a revolutionary. His job is to obfuscate the truth, to serve as an outlet for the supremely misguided and ill informed in America, a master manipulator, a minister of disinformation and propaganda telling authorized truths as a card carrying member of America’s propaganda matrix. Until 9/11 the McCarthy era was a period of American history that I understood only from history books, the History Channel and Hollywood movies; a period that seemed so unbelievable and unlikely to repeat itself, given the lessons one would assume that we would have learned from it. That is until a new McCarthyism was ushered in during the Bush/Cheney era and has continued to this day by folks like Glenn Beck
This has put some light on what Beck does and really made a few folks take a step back from him. But, he is good at his craft and came out firing away again today. Between him and Tabloid Bill there is a bunch of programming going on. It would be fun just to observe it if it was not so destructive.
