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.

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.

If my washer spun like that I wouldn’t even need a dryer.

Ah, poor Debra, it's all that meanie Glenn Beck's fault that she didn't just come out and say the truthers are full of crapola!

Hint - if she can't handle Glenn Beck interviews, she's not up for the job of being governor.

You were quoting Medina ...

I have not seen any evidence nor have I ever believed that our government was involved or directed those individuals in any way.

BUT, I'm looking for that evidence and it will show that they knew about it and did nothing [because it was an excellent "opportunity" doncha know...]. And when I find it, then I'll tell you I have believed that our government was at fault from the beginning!

:-)

Medina takes her standard fall back position.

She lies!

Yeah, that statement wasn’t good enough. She needs to do it again.

The first answer from a politician is almost always the most honest answer because they havent had time to figure out the ‘right’ answer.

Nice CYA, but she blew it by not saying it in the interview itself.
