Did you all catch the Beck comment, "Rick (Perry), you and I can french kiss?" then they went on to discuss what a handsome man Perry is.

the discussion/character assassination of Debra after she hung up was completely despicable.

So what's the beef? She doesn't want to cede Texas to Izzy, or what?

wikipedia's already got the following up:
"She claimed on February 11, 2010 on the Glenn Beck radio program that the United States government may have been involved in the coordination and execution of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.[1][2]"

Later in the day on Wednesday Debra Medina issued this statement:
"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 the 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."

She's less than worthless. Just another ZioNutter.

A couple of points, one I've made before to JT:
This is an example of how "conservatives" and "patriots" do more damage than the admitted Marxists. They wave flags, pray in public for the country, and pay homage to motherhood and pumpkin pie. But they're working at opposites to our national interests all the time, and they have influence with people who should know better. The worst part about it is that they don't even have to be "on the take" to do these things. They probably believe they're doing what they should. Beck probably sleeps fine at night, with a clear conscience.
Glenn Beck has one motivation for attacking Medina on these grounds: he himself is already considered a nutter as far as the left and center right is concerned. By attacking Medina for refusing to say she believes the Bush cabinet's explanation for the attacks he can lay claim to a tiny piece of "legitimacy." That's the situation we're in. I don't know Medina's history well. Someone, help me out here. But my guess is that she isn't a crackpot like Beck is himself. He's the one who touts any conspiracy theory that sounds conservative without ample evidence.
It's the knowing better part that I think matters the most here. We've got to admit that Americans are going to be held responsible for their ignorance.
The second point I'd like to make is to defend Medina's position. I doubt that any of us knows exactly what happened on 9/11. In all things, a governor should consider evidence that is free of innuendo and inference. All we can know for certain is that our three branches of government used the attacks of 9/11 to carry out an agenda that is many cases counter to American liberty and favors Israel's regional interests at the expense of our non-alignment. In other words, we can say for certain who benefited: Israel. We can say who lost: we lost freedom. Most of the other "truther" style evidence is debatable. It's not proof of something specific, not yet. So Ron Paul and Debra Medina have been logically correct in what they've said.
Our problem is to educate our fellow citizens. I haven't figured how to do it. Let me know when you've got an idea that will make a difference.

by your own admission, you cant even educate yourself, because you, and the rest of us, are deprived of the information you need.

"I doubt that any of us knows exactly what happened on 9/11."
"We've got to admit that Americans are going to be held responsible for their ignorance."

we can assume, then, that you're holding yourself responsible for your own admitted ignorance, cant we...

first, i'd suggest you quit blaming americans for their ignorance when it's a matter of policy to keep them ignorant.

We'll be held accountable by history either way.

ah.
you think that nobody is saving all this stuff, and historians who document the collapse of america will not figure out who is to blame for the ignorance of the american people?

I think it's being saved, and historians will document it, if it continues to happen.

Asimov's "Foundation" novels — the most famous science-fiction trilogy between "Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars" — described a new science of social behavior called psychohistory. Mixing psychology with math, psychohistory hijacked the methods of physics to precisely predict the future course of human events.
Today, Asimov's vision is no longer wholly fiction. His psychohistory exists in a loose confederation of research enterprises seeking equations that capture patterns in human behavior.
These enterprises go by different names and treat different aspects of the issue. But they all share a goal of better understanding the present in order to foresee the future, and possibly help shape it.
