Then why couldn't she manage that with Beck?
My ears tell me that Beck approached Medina with a chip on his shoulder from the onset. Despite saying “I don’t know anything about her” Beck then seems to proceed to attack Medina.
Glen Beck should be ashamed of himself...
It reminded me of the sleazy way Connie Chung sandbagged Newt's mother...
Beck needs to issue an apology to both Medina and his audience. It was really low class.
And she had every oppurtunity on national radio to say “No”, but she didn’t.
She’s backtracking because she saw where admitting you’re a truther gets you in politics.
I appreciate the clarification that Candidate Medina has placed on her campaign website. But to say that she was blindsided by a question that was a major part of several national whispering campaigns by the libs and progressive trolls is to say hasn’t been paying much attention to politics over the last decade.
I would never vote for a "truther" or anyone who even thinks they have a point. they are nuts! Vote Perry!!
Waiting for Beck to ask Hutchison or Perry if they’re “Birthers”. Likely won’t happen because he’s an establishment shill.
Beck as a “foe”?
No way. Whether you agree with him or not, whether you feel Medina was misconstrued or whatever, Beck is not a foe of either our conservative movement or our country. Beck is simply doing what the media should do, which is help We The People vet candidates.
In fact, as the Teaparty movement gains ever more steam, the responsibility to vet candidates and not just jump on bandwagons get more and more profound. We really need these candidates to show up on talk radio and FOX, for example, so we can see how they perform and judge for ourselves.
If you conclude that whatever Medina said on Beck’s show isn’t a campaign-stopper for you, then that’s your call. That’s the purpose of exposing these candidates to us through the media. But that is not at all grounds for claiming Beck is our foe.
Right... and David Duke isn't a racist..
If she isn’t a Truther then why didn’t she just say “no”? The fact that she rambled through her answer just raises suspicions.
Oh, because she is really a patriot Glenn Beck has to think she is a 9/11 truther. Glenn Beck’s ego has really got the best of him. Beck’s turning in to a joke.
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. The reason why I decided to finally have them on is because she went from 4% to, what was it, 24%, 26%?
Sounds like Beck may have had it in for her from the get go because of the pressure from her supporters.
I heard the interview and I believe when Beck heard what he "needed" to hear he really didn't listen to any more of her answer, and his talking over her didn't give us much opportunity to hear it either. He disappointed me greatly.
Sounded to me like Medina was rattled by the question and maybe when she gets rattled she starts talking and goes on too long. We all know someone like that.
I head her explanation later in an interview on KLIF radio and I believe her. She hasn't lost my support. Whether or not she can get out in front of this before the primary remains to be seen. They say any publicity is good publicity.
And if Beck wants to French kiss Rick Perry, well... get a room, boys.
It’s getting harder and harder to like Glenn Beck.
I asked Debra Medina point blank if she is a 9/11 Truther. Medina’s answer was a simple and to the point, “No.”

Was this AFTER the Glenn Beck interview? If so, too little too late.
If it was before the Glenn Beck interview, why in the hell didn’t she give him the same answer instead of derailing her campaign and causing those of us who have been pushing her candidacy, terrible shame and embarrassment?
TURN OUT THE LIGHTS; THE PARTY’S OVER!!!
The best rationale that I can come up with is that she has supporters who fall into that category, the same with Ron Paul, and she threaded the needle to keep from alienating them and their support. Or not.
