Heartache: Tea Party candidate in Texas a 9/11 truther; Update: Medina responds.
As Ed put it,
Any candidate who thinks that a nutcase conspiracy theory about the US government destroying the WTC is within the realm of reasonable speculation is a candidate that richly deserves the obscurity she will shortly enter.
Indeed.
She did issue a retraction of sorts but the beeping sound from putting her comment into reverse may have finished her campaign. And rightly so!
Beck did everyone a big favor. Nobody with any common sense wants a conspiracy theorist in elected office. If you really think our government might have been deliberately complicit in 9-11 you will fall for anything. Saying you aren’t sure about this means you don’t have the courage to condemn beliefs that are devoid of merit. Not only have there been numerous investigations but 8 years later not a single credible witness has come forth with knowledge of a ‘conspiracy’ that would have to have involved large numbers of people. And you ask the Truthers ‘why’ the government would have concocted such an elaborate and unlikely plot to murder thousands of Americans and the real nuttery starts to pour out. Sorry Debra, but you disqualified yourself. And hat’s off to Beck for blowing the whistle so clearly and unambiguously.
Once again, Sarah Palin’s instincts proved to be dead-on.
I was already thinking about voting for Rick Perry in the primary. After today, I have no doubt.
Ok, conservative root out a Nine-Eleven truther. Call it quality control, Now question when will the MSM start rooting out antropogenic global warming truthers?
To paraphrase the above quoted Ed: “Any candidate who thinks that a nutcase antropoggenic global warmung onspiracy theory about so-called climate change destroying the world is within the realm of reasonable speculation is a candidate that richly deserves the obscurity she will shortly enter”
I love Beck’s comment that if she thought there were any truth to the 9/11 government conspiracy theory, that would necessarily HAVE to be her number one concern. Could we possibly allow our government to get away with such a heinous act, even if she isn’t sure about it? Shouldn’t she be concerned and doing the most she could to find the truth? So not only is she wishy-washy on what she “believes” or “knows”, she is wishy-washy on her leadership about what to do about it. She is a non-leader and should never hold an elected position.
Actually, Glen Beck is a “Frontman” for a pro-Perry,pro-banker bailout,pro-mouth piece of the establishment. I challenge anyone who wants to prove me wrong to do so. If Medina is elected Texans will get a REAL govenor. Not a govenor that sets up toll roads and increases jobs in Texas. That are only Govenment jobs. I think we all should be smart enough to think for ourselves and not “follow the herd” as it were.
I challenge anyone who does not believe the real truth about Medina,Perry,Sarah Plain, or Glen Beck. To communicate with me in any medium you want. I a mature fashion. I can and will prove a pattern of corruption on the parts of Gov.Perry. Glen beck and Sarah Palin. Using various videos(news clips) and the governments own documents.
