Debra Medina, a candidate for the office of governor in Texas was on the Glenn Beck Radio show the other day. As he usually does, Beck used the time to immediately discredit the free-thinking candidate and obscure her back into the shadows. You may have remembered Beck as being instrumental in the removal of Van Jones from his position back in September of 2009.
Notice in this "interview" that Medina is only on for a very short time, and that NONE of the questions posed by Beck relate to her stance on any state issues whatsoever. Instead, puppet Beck decided to accuse Medina as some kind of Truth Movement apologist (which was inevitably followed-up by crony PR smear campaigns).
Caught of guard, Medina fumbled her answer to the accusation and instead of proudly questioning the motive of the question publicly, she answered as politically-minded as possible and answered the claim by saying things like, "there's not enough evidence to take a side on the 9/11 issue."
My first reaction was that of disgust for the likes of Glenn Beck for being so far off topic and participating (as usual) as an agent against free thought. However, after reading this response posted immediately after the interview on Debra Medina's website, I became disenchanted in her as a candidate. There, Medina said, "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."
She goes on to say, "The real underlying question here, though, is whether or not people have the right to question our government...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."
She is right about that - Texas, nor any other state, deserve another political machine telling the public what they want to hear - which is why I am hopeful that a real soldier of the Truth Movement (one with a lot more integrity) steps up to the plate before it's too late.
