Debra Medina implodes on Glenn Beck's show
Kansas City Star ^ | 2/11/10 | By Yael T. Abouhalkah, Kansas City Star Editorial Page columnist

Posted on 02/11/2010 2:54:28 PM PST by DallasBiff

Medina is facing off in a GOP primary with Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Medina's absurd comments to Beck about U.S. government involvement in 9/11 included this gem:

"I don’t have all of the evidence there, Glenn, so 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 the evidence there, so I have not taken a position on that."

Perry and Hutchinson immediately ripped Medina for such ignorant comments

Yeah I had forgotten about Claytie’s little sit back and enjoy it comment. My cringes had cringes.

I love it that my state of Texas (and props to Oklahoma)is probably the most conservative state in the country. On the other hand, I wonder why we were dealt these three clowns as choices.

I might write in Micky Mouses' name and focus on local elections, and getting my great rep. Ted Poe reelected.

And to Ted (he's gotta be a freeper), be giving thought to a 2014 run at the Texas Guv's mansion

See, this is why I don’t put much effort into proving my opinion to people like you. Had the thread I cited been deleted I would have no proof and you would have been happy to yammer about it all day.

However the thread was there and I proved my point and you had the good grace to run off without acknowledging it.

See, that is how it is done here and why I typically won’t waste my time on people like you.

Perhaps you need to learn how to do a better search on me - as I have way more than 29 posts. I have 100 on the first 2 pages alone and that takes us back to April 9th. Please be accurate if you are going to bash someone.

Ron Paul has said that things went down just the way you all say they did - he just wonders about failures of intelligence before the fact. I’m sure you know that though!

Please reread my comments - I have not defended Medina. Do you comprehend?

Yes - I equate the two labels - and so does Glenn Beck apparantly. I guess you are a Birther. That’s OK though - think what you want. If you have proof in this regard - please let me know.

Would you like to read all the posts I’ve had since I joined FR? Feel free - though I don’t have any faith in your understanding of my words - you have done a lousy job thus far.

I told you - Medina is not my gal. I guess you are just too obtuse to get it. Sorry for you. Paranoid much?

What are you looking at that shows this - just curious - because when I look I see all my posts from now all the way back to when I joined. Probably about 2000 or so comments - with 9 articles posted.

I’m heading out of town but wanted to check at FR to see the fallout from Medina’s interview yesterday. Like everyone who was listening, I was shocked to hear the question come up (definitely seems like an ambush) but more shocked to hear Medina’s response.

Seems to me she is aware of truthers supporting her and even somewhere on her staff. She apparently was trying to answer honestly so I give her some credit for that..but after reading her denial/statement above, I tend to believe her. Still, to fail to clearly deny the charge on a national stage was a terrible stumble and short of a miracle, has derailed her campaign.

I am going to give it some time before I make a decision on Medina. I share the sadness with all who had such high hopes for Medina’s plans to put government back in its place.

Have a blessed weekend. Let’s remember that at our core we all want the best for our state and our nation.

This is why you always keep a loaded weapon pointed up and down range. Never let a weapon that is loaded and cocked hang down loosely at your side. Now she needs a new pair of shoes.

And a pair of new feet. And a new brain.

Medina is not the sophisticated politician that Rick and Kay are. This question came out of the blue....nothing to do with the campaign. Of course she was taken back by the question. She thought she was going to be interviewed about her policies and what she would do if elected Governor. Beck was a jerk!!

What you mean is that Medina is an idiotic moonbat and Beck had the gall to expose her for what she is. Right. Shame on him.

Actually I didn’t see the proof that you knew she was a truther “from the beginning”, what I saw was you guys horsing around with a picture the other day and you just using the Paul thing against her in a general way.

After looking at more of your posts and seeing how you aren’t interested in cold facts I decided that it was close enough for you and that there was no reason to split hairs since you are such a sloppy poster, it turns out I was right, here you are today still blustering along, looking to pester someone rather than move on.

I still don’t know if Paul is a truther or not because you kept blowing off people asking for a source and you kept telling everyone to just go to the internet, that is sloppy.

You are sloppy enough that you seem clueless on where I am on Medina, after all my posts before you even got on this thread, you had me confused as a Medina supporter, that is careless and sloppy.

In post 22, I posted the transcript, she is clearly in support of the truthers, her denial did not really address her previous statements during the interview.

My posting is clearer than that and you know it.

After looking at more of your posts and seeing how you aren’t interested in cold facts I decided that it was close enough for you and that there was no reason to split hairs since you are such a sloppy poster, it turns out I was right, here you are today still blustering along, looking to pester someone rather than move on.

Blah, blah, you were wrong and I was right.

I still don’t know if Paul is a truther or not because you kept blowing off people asking for a source and you kept telling everyone to just go to the internet, that is sloppy.

If you cannot see what is in front of your face and are only going to argue why should I attempt to educate you? I won't because you are lazy.

You are sloppy enough that you seem clueless on where I am on Medina, after all my posts before you even got on this thread, you had me confused as a Medina supporter, that is careless and sloppy.

I didn't have you confused as anything, I simply did not care. You are a crybaby and I am not your father. Nut up.

Another truther. If that’s your idea of “independent thinker,” lol.

"I didn't have you confused as anything, I simply did not care."

post 237 "Will you now admit that Medina is a Truther?"

You just don't read well, hundreds of posts into the thread, you still were confused about who her detractors were versus her defenders.

You seem childish enough that when you got bored this morning you decided to post to me out of the blue to get something personal going, and you seem determined to keep doing it.

Click on “in forum” on your personal page.

Go reread the context in which the question was asked. Unless you are to lazy even to do that.

You are just upset that I was able to see what you could not. Then was able to prove it causing you to run away.

If you’re on “our side,” we can’t help but lose!

The woman you wish to promote is a vacillating deceptive moron that was trying to avoid taking a position, but in a very naive, childish way, and inadvertantly ended up spilling the beans on her true position during her tap dance.

LOL, As a father figure I realize that I must have hurt you in some manner, which set you to pursuing my fatherly attentions.

Surely you are fulfilled by now.

Now that I have put you in your place, yes I am satisfied.

It is indeed a shame that you are not man enough to simply admit that you were wrong. However, I certainly should have known, like I knew Medina was a truther, that you were not.
