Glenn Beck defends Medina interview on KTRH in Houston Texas

This goes back to the DIFFERENCE between “truther” and conspiracy theorist.

Honestly…based on Glenn's answer to their questioning…you COULD call Glenn a “truther” as well, if people DIDN'T CONFUSE the two.

Just like Medina WOULDN'T be gettin flack for it and being forced to “clean it up” if they weren't confused.

Everyone will reap what they sow…especially those who refuse to properly decipher things and have rather odd senses of right versus wrong. Heck…I can't even begin to tell you how many people I know voted for Obama because they just blindly went along with his words the way so many blindly go along with Beck's and are now goin…”I can't believe he lied to us.” Yeah. It's hard to believe someone would lie when you're too trusting and clinging to every word. That's where self-education comes into play. But nah…too many people are just gonna stick with “truthers are wacko conspiracy theorists” because that RELIEVES them of the responsibility of ACTUALLY DECIPHERING the difference.

I don't think Beck is feeling any heat at all. He is answering some dumb questions posed by the Medina supporters.

If you got an issue with her, then I suggest you take it up with her.

How lame can she be by suggesting she was blind-sided by Beck answering a question. She spoke her truth because that is what she believes in and also she didn't want to offend her supporters.

Now on a new broadcast she back tracks.

Clearly she is unfit for office. If one question throws her into a tailspin then she is incapable of governing.

So we have ten guys allowed to run all over the country and then fly planes into buildings, and we have a single individual allowed to board a plane for here with no passport….oh, and don't forget the memo by Rumsfeld about needing a catastrophe to invade Iraq, seems that got lost in the stimulus TARP shuffle…

it's the same thing as dreaming up a conspiracy with no proof…it's easy to do and some people believe it since it's on the radio or tv.

Debra Medina did more harm to her chances by answering a simple question in her quest not to offend the Ron Paul group that are truthers.

Thanks for this additional information on Clear Channel, Mike. I am sending off to others.

Brandon, where do you live? Are you anywhere in the Houston area? Beck NEVER comes on local stations unless he's promoting a book, tour, etc…

You're clearly not interested in what I've posted previously regarding Medina. I said on an earlier post that if Medina does believe the government was behind the 911 attacks then I wouldn't support her for dogcatcher…however, after literally listening to and going over everything she's said in the last week I'm convinced now that she is not a Truther, but has many supporters from her Ron Paul days that are…what she is is a novice politician who wasn't prepared for that question seeing as it has never come up before in the last year of campaigning and hadn't come up in any other radio or tv interview.

This was set up by Perry supporters, of which I'm guessing you're one, and continues to this day. Perry is NOT a conservative and neither is KBH. Medina upsets the applecart if she wins. The establishment won't have one of their hand-picked candidates in office is she is elected (which I don't think she will be elected, btw). Score one for Team Perry.

I have only recently discovered Debra and gotten involved in the campaign in the last 2 months. I was shocked to hear the Beck interview and for several days I have fretted about who I was going to vote for since the only conservative running mangled it so badly on Beck's show. Only after putting together everything that I know now can I say that I will be voting for Medina despite the Perry camp doing everything they can, including very dirty campaign tricks, to stop her rise in the recent polls.

We'll see what happens soon enough.

Mike, what are the poll numbers showing in Texas now, since the Beck interview?

According to Time who quoted Forbes, Beck has 8 million listeners on nearly 400 radio stations.

He is in the top 5 for most listened to radio hosts.

Those are facts according to Forbes.

Now, lets take what you posted. That's just guess work. I could easily say that 'okay, he loses 5 percent and gains 10 percent in new listeners.'

That is just as much as a guess as you posted.

As far as his TV show goes, Beck averages between 2.8-2.9 million viewers with his show occasionally shooting up to 3.4 million viewers.

This debating over Beck's numbers is kind of silly because it won't change anything. Perhaps you need to denigrate Beck to show he is now the 'enemy,' while Medina goes into damage control. A well organized boycott by “Color of Change” didn't hurt him and, seriously, I doubt this attack will either.

And as far as Medina goes, we shall see. The polls I saw today have her behind by quite a bit. You will need to work a little harder.

As I keep pointing out, and will continue to do so. Medina couldn't answer a straight forward question. Blame her. Don't try to pass the buck for her short-comings.

Just telling it like it is.

It wasn't I who asked the question. It was Beck.

It wasn't I who answered the question to leave doubt in the masses as to her stance. It was Medina.

Misplaced anger is not going to help your cause. You should take that up with Medina.

I see you are covering all bases with your last statement.

Way to go, John. As I would say to ANYONE…it's all about studying the facts and not misconstruing this “truther” thing.

“Truther” does not equal conspiracy theorist…END OF DISCUSSION.

If you can't tell the difference…then you're a blind sheep. As I say…I truly believe that Beck is just BLIND SHEEP as well in this category. I don't believe he's out to destroy the world on this one. He HAS bashed Perry time and time again, so I don't truly believe he's FOR Perry in any form or fashion.

Deconstruction will go a LONG WAY for people who take all this mainstream media information at FACE VALUE.

Heck…if there were MORE people like John here in our country…then maybe RON PAUL would be our POTUS and the FEDERAL RESERVE (the TRUE CAUSE of the bankrupting of America) would've been AUDITED BACK IN 2008 like it SHOULD'VE BEEN.

Oh…and BECK ALSO mentioned wanting to “french kiss” RON PAUL during the 2008 campaign while he still worked for Headline News Network during an interview with him. You can YouTube that, if you don't believe me. So…what was that about Ron Paul groupies again??

In order for the Tea Party Movement to be a success it has to keep it's distance from the fringe element.

Oh, and one more thing… why did Beck ENDORSE Palin when last year she called for a NEW 911 investiagation while she was campaigning in Ohio??? Medina didn't go nearly that far. Once again, you've been exposed Glenn.

It kind of shows you what glenn beck is REALLY all about doesn't it?

Actually after following Beck for quite sometime now and supporting him wholeheartedly I can see that he really talks in circles and recently has been flip flopping on his views…I think Beck works very hard to protect his money…I probably would do the same if I made that much…but if you listen closely to him he really does talk in such generalities on his show because when it comes time to SUPPORT someone that is a Constitutionalist he chooses ONE THING to point out and disagree on (remember his bit with the 9/12 project-and asking people to just find a few things to agree not all 10 things) and goes on and on and on about to the point of creating such a rucus that his loyal followers will just fall in line instead of thinking for themselves about her. I personally feel like this was encouraged for him to do and it was his contribution to the Perry campaign…well…this is one household that won't be following Beck on radio or tv anymore! Bye bye glenn…try not to shed too many tears for me!
As for TX though I am not a Texan I did show Medina support and hope and pray she can get in…I was rather impressed with her and with TX!!!

I have a question about why WTC7 is not mentioned in the 9/11 commission report. Could someone please tell me, am I a “TRUTHER”? Or am I simply FRINGE? Perhaps I am a 'nutter butter'? I know Glen Beck is the modern day Thomas Paine because he told me so – so at least i have that one figured out. Thanks for any help!!!

Is your definition of a truther anyone who has questions about the events running up to and including 911? Anyone who doubts the “official” Gov't Report. This would include over half the families who lost loved ones, and Six of the ten Commission Members themselves,who were shielded from and denied THE TRUTH.
When people are not given THE TRUTH then they are forced to postulate scenarios that attempt to explain the known facts. Much like 11/22/63 we are forced to come up plausible explanations for the impossible “truth” that has been given us. Do you have full faith and confidence in the Warren Report? How about the 911 Commission report? Does it all sound clear and concise to you? No questions?… That's it? , the way they said it happened.. Like the Warren Commission the 911 Commission didn't investigate many leads that didn't fit their scenario. Many Families are on record that their questions were not addressed and are not satisfied.

I would like Glenn Beck to publicly state on his show that he agrees with the 911 commission report and that he has no unanswered questions and is satisfied with THIS TRUTH. If He cannot honestly make this statement, and he still has unanswered questions, then join the rest of us that seek THE REAL TRUTH, what ever it is. …..oops.. ….That would make you a truth seeker or OMG ….. A TRUTHER…

A former loyal fan, of someone that I used to think ,always told the truth

Vox Veritas Vita

You should pose that question to Glenn then…I think you are right…he needs to come out and provide an answer to that …very good…you should write him or call.

Beck has reminded us many times that he wasn't on board for the Tea Party movement–'we weren't ready!', he said. I scoff at this, but I can understand his position: if there's violence, he doesn't want that on his head. This is the biggest reason why he won't go out on a limb (and question with boldness!) on many issues…Then, he encourages us in the Tea Party movement to find people who aren't corrupted, who aren't…politicians. Well, Debra isn't a lying, corrupt politicians who will say whatever a diva like Beck wants to hear. So, when she doesn't come out and state a clear 'NO!', because there ARE questions remaining, he slams her for not being a politician. He can't have it both ways and still have credibility or respect.
As for Medina…she answered all of his questions with the honesty, courage and conviction of a true patriot who has the Will to turn her state around.

Also…I was surprised that when she brought up the NAFTA Superhighway Beck didn't eviscerate her right then and there for being a kook, after all, Jerome Corsi wrote a book about the possibility of our government colluding with globalists to create the North American Union and they tried to peg HIM as a 9-11 Truther for just listening to what people had to say.
I would like to get to the bottom of this…who told Beck that Debra was a 'Truther' and what was their agenda…Hmmmm? Anyone?

Beck is just another celebrity that has found a niche where he can sell books, CD's and enjoys being an arrogant drama queen to get ratings. I am a conservative Republican and never enjoyed his overly dramatic rude ways. Please everyone, he tried to do damage to a real genuine Constitutional candidate who wants to reform the Repulican party so just TURN HIM OFF. Don't give him the ratings and book sales any longer. Let's keep showing career politicians and fame seekers that the people who work real jobs and live real lives are the ones in control. Talking to Medina is like talking to your neighbor that watches your back.

That's the most ridiculous statment next to Beck's that I've heard. First, she was blindsided because they spoke 1 day before the actual interview to review all the questions he may ask. HE NEVER mentioned being a 911 truther so it is a correct statement that she was blind sided. She did not back track and again stated more clearly what she said in the interview, that she never said “YES” she was a 911 Truther. For you to assume this one interview makes her unfit for office is a ludicrous conclusion considering they never got to talk much about the RELEVANT ISSUES OF TODAY. IF you think letting Mexican Govt control TTCorridor, or supporting forced immunizations when you have financial interest in the drug company…….well, let me just stop and say you better go back and do your homework on the candidates. btw In the debate, Perry also said he supports instate tuition for illegal aliens, but not for US citizens in other states.

Fortunately many Texans did not like the Beck interview and/or find this candidate to be a breath of fresh air because she has risen in the polls and is now neck and neck with Hutchinson. We will of course, have a run off.
