Corporate Media Smears Medina For Expressing View Shared By Majority Of Americans

The attack dog corporate media, in cahoots with loathsome phony neo-con crybaby Glenn Beck, are once again attempting to manufacture reality by smearing Debra Medina for expressing a view shared by the vast majority of Americans in an effort to purge her from the Texas gubernatorial race.

Fox News blowhard Glenn Beck attempted to set up Medina on his radio show yesterday by asking her if she believed the U.S. government was involved in 9/11.

“I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard,” Medina said. “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.”

Medina’s response was measured and even less vehement that than six of the ten 9/11 commissioners, who have all gone on the record to discuss how the government lied about the official story.

Furthermore, in merely refusing to completely accept the official version of events, Medina stands firmly with the majority of Americans. An October 2006 CBS/New York Times poll found that only 16% of Americans thought the government told the truth about 9/11 and the intelligence prior to the attacks. Medina is in agreement with no less than 84% of Americans who do not readily accept the official story as true.

Callers to 570 KLIF were unanimous in their response to the non-issue, agreeing that Medina’s answer was perfectly acceptable, accurate, and that they wouldn’t change their vote for her.

The following clip is astounding in the fact that it completely unveils how the establishment media has once again brazenly tried, but failed, to dictate reality by claiming that Medina’s campaign is now over, despite the fact that the vast majority of Texans completely agree with her position on 9/11.

Watch the clip.

However, Medina’s statements were immediately seized upon by a political establishment transparently desperate to derail her accelerating poll numbers as she closes in on globalist stooges Rick Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchinson.

All of a sudden, every viewpoint and every opinion of every individual Medina had talked to suddenly became attributed to her as the media aggressively tried to shift the debate away from the issues that have made her so popular in an attempt to tear her down. Beck subsequently expressed his desire to “french kiss” Rick Perry and the fix was in.

Medina has never even talked about 9/11 as part of her platform, but that didn’t stop Hutchinson and Perry operatives flooding Twitter with hoax controversies about her supposed mental instability for daring to say that Americans have the right to question their government.

Within an hour of her appearance on Beck’s show, robo-calls from the Perry and Hutchinson campaigns went out attacking Medina as a “9/11 truther”.

“Wow!! Isn’t that interesting,” wrote one respondent to an Austin-American Statesman story. “How was Mr. Perry’s team so ready to start a massive robo blitz with this new Truther news so quick? Looks like someone is getting scared, and that he had a little help from a friend.”

Indeed, for such calls to be launched so soon after Medina’s appearance, it’s blatant that Beck’s ambush journalism was carefully planned from the very beginning. Perry and Hutchinson were primed to capitalize upon the fake controversy before it even happened.

But unfortunately for the establishment, it seems like the people are not buying the hoax. Just like the KLIF callers, the majority of respondents to the Statesman story expressed their support for Medina and denounced the cheap shots pulled by Glenn Beck.

“Medina raised more than $50,000 yesterday. I doubt that she has “nullified herself”. Her popularity is actually soaring and Beck is receiving thousands of angry emails,” wrote one.

“I just donated $350 to her campaign,” added another, pointing out that Medina has never wavered from her campaign which is based on states’ rights, securing the border, gun owners’ rights and replacing the unconstitutional property tax – all issues which both Perry and Hutchinson have completely abandoned in favor of toadying up to the political elite that owns them.

“The real travesty is the hatchet job perpetrated by this reporter and the rest of the pack of corporate owned media running dogs who pose as journalists,” added another, highlighting the fact that a candidate in the mould of Medina poses a threat to both Democrats and Republicans across the country and the entire two party monopoly that Glenn Beck shills for on a routine basis.

“What Medina said is that there are unanswered questions posed to the government about 911,” states another. “This is 100% true and accurate. The 911 Commission’s report stated that the government withheld evidence and therefore the report was incomplete with unanswered questions.”

For taking a stance similar to six of the ten 9/11 Commissioners, who have all publicly stated that the official story surrounding the attacks is impossible, Medina is being witch hunted by the establishment in a savage McCarthyesque purge.

Medina was gaining on both Perry and Hutchinson at a rate of several points a week. The establishment was straining at the leash to find some mud to sling at her and since they could come up with nothing, they had to engineer a fake spectacle by way of the nationally despised slime ball turncoat Glenn Beck, the neo-con who poses as a libertarian, the man who supported the bailout under Bush and then claimed he had opposed it all along when Obama got in office, the man who ceaselesslycalls for more taxes on the American people while posing as a demagogue of the Tea Party movement which is supposed to stand against new taxes.

As little as seven months ago, Rick Perry and John Cornyn were being booed in Texas at Tea Party events. Now Perry has learned to don a cowboy hat and pretend to be a grass roots populist while selling out Texas’ very infrastructure to foreign companies that Texans will pay tolls to. The Tea Party movement has been hijacked by phony neo-cons like Sarah Palin who endorse Perry while the only real Constitutionalist in the race, Debra Medina, is the victim of an organized smear campaign.

Fine, if Republicans want to continue to pay rising property taxes and fees on toll roads to foreign-owned companies, if they want the border to continue to be wide open, then go ahead and and vote for Bilderberger Rick Perry – you deserve everything you get.

In the meantime, true Constitutionalists, true conservatives and true patriots will continue to support the people’s candidate – Debra Medina – redoubling our efforts in order to expose this entire farce for what it really is – an artificially engineered hatchet job conducted by one of the most loathsome, un-American, big government worshipping corporate media whores ever to open his big mouth – Glenn Beck – the man who fakes crying on demand for photo shoots and proclaims his love for America while selling out every single idea that made America great, the right to dissent, the right to question, and the right to exercise the liberties enshrined in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, all things that Debra Medina stands for, and all things that Perry and Hutchinson have abandoned.

Since I’m a SMU grad and I’m very disappointed in these ratings. I expected students at my Alma mater to recognize true liberty… Debra Medina is the ONLY choice, and owned the other 2 in the debates! What’s going on since I left?

SMU Professor Dr. Rita Kirk held a focus group in Umphrey Lee Friday night to study the Republican reaction to the Belo debate. Kirk recruited 30 Republicans- both first time and repeat voters to participate in the focus group during the GOP Debate.

Kirk has been doing research for over 20 years. CNN first hired Kirk for the debates during the presidential election primaries. This past weekend she brought her research back to the Hilltop only one day after going to Ohio to dial test the President’s State of the Union address.

The focus groups are used to “dial test” a particular speech or event. Each participant is given a dial to record their perceptions of the candidates (or the President) at any moment throughout the speech or debate.

Kirk loves analyzing the data afterwards. During the candidates’ closing statements Kirk was able to see who did the best overall. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison had the highest rating with 73 out of 100. Governor Rick Perry got a 67 and Debra Medina got a 63.

Some participants offered their opinions of the dial testing and candidates after the debate. Watch the videos for their reactions.

(Editor’s note: Elisabeth Brubaker is a student assistant for Dr. Kirk’s research study.)

One participant said this about the “jeopardy” portion of the debate:

Another participant discussed how she reads the candidates.

AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry is far from having the Republican gubernatorial nomination sewn up, but a new poll indicates U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison is in danger of having the bottom fall out of her campaign.

The political newsletter Rasmussen Reports released a survey of likely Republican primary voters showing Perry leading 44 percent to Hutchison’s 29 percent, with activist Debra Medina following at 16 percent.

Medina’s support has grown from the 12 percent she held in January, and the

publication said most of her gain appeared to be coming from Hutchison. Both of Medina’s gains in the polls occurred shortly after her participation in debates with Perry and Hutchison.

“Now that the people of Texas are watching and listening, we expect to accelerate drastically this next month in the polls,” Medina campaign manager Penny Langford Freeman said in a statement.

But without financial resources to keep her campaign on television with paid advertising, Medina is likely to fade between now and the March 2 election. A Texas Ethics Commission report filed this week showed Medina had just $68,483 available on Jan. 21.

War chests nearly equal

Perry and Hutchison had enough cash on hand to spend about $2 million a week. Perry pulled slightly ahead of Hutchison for the first time, reporting $10.4 million in the bank to her $10 million.

In the Rasmussen survey, Perry led among conservative Republicans by 18 percentage points, and Hutchison led by 11 percentage points among party moderates. Conservatives tend to dominate party primaries. Rasmussen said for Hutchison to win with current voter attitudes, half the primary voters would have to be moderates.

Both Perry and Hutchison’s spokespeople said the only poll they rely on is the one conducted on Election Day.

“The governor is going to continue traveling the state talking about his conservative record and his vision of the future,” said Perry spokesman Mark Miner.

Hutchison spokeswoman Jennifer Baker said Hutchison will continue to promote a “positive vision” for the state, but she said the poll also had bad news for Perry.

“It should be very troubling to a nine-year incumbent that he can’t get over 44 percent,” Baker said.

Common Sense; Common Values.

The federal government’s expansion into our State and our own lives has increased exponentially, reducing personal and State sovereignty to the breaking point.  Federal mandates retarded the Texas economy and threatened our Life, Liberty, and Property.
We Texans deserve a candidate who stands up to Washington and stands up for Texans.  Debra Medina stands up for Texans every day.  She works hard to assert and protect our Rights and fights against Big Government at every turn.  She’s an activist, who desires nothing more than to get government out of our lives!
When was the last time you saw a candidate take a hard, principled stand?  Certainly not our “Republicans” who express opposition to the federal healthcare takeover or the imposition of “Cap and Tax” simply because they’re expensive!  Not our governor who watched as hundreds of children were stolen from their families in one day! While Perry’s attempts to steal land for the Trans Texas Corridor and his edict for young girls to receive untested vaccinations have failed (largely thanks to activists like us), how many chances are we going to give him to violate our property and individual rights?
Debra, when elected, will employ nullification and interposition to fight violations our Constitutional Rights.  Our outgoing governor can crack jokes about secession all he wants, but, if he’s not first willing to take a stand and exercise all of the existing legal options available, then the joke is on us.  Join us and demand that our State Legislators call for a Special Session to discuss and implement NULLICATION!
One of the reasons that the State of Texas is in relatively good shape is that we don’t allow our State Legislature to get together often or long enough to do too much damage.  They have 6 months every 2 years in which to change laws and improve our State.
I’ve come to realize that our elected officials think that we don’t care if they don’t get the big stuff done, while incrementally increasing spending; that we aren’t noticing the slightly higher property taxes; that we can’t do anything about their persistent intrusion into our lives.  In the last session, our Legislators couldn’t even discuss whether a voter should prove that he or she lives in a particular district, which leads to election fraud, which costs good candidates countless elections and compromises out fundamental right to vote.
I’ve reached my limit.  I will not stand idly by as my State is increasingly victimized by career politicians who only desire more power at the expense of my Liberty!  I will NOT sit here and take it as my Congressman calculates the cost of yet another UNConstitutional bill, when we all know that the cost isn’t the issue!  I will NOT sit back as EVIL PREVAILS because GOOD MEN DO NOTHING!
I’m going to work hard for my candidates who will represent me here, in Austin, and in Washington because I know that I can set an example for the rest of the country.  When other States see what we’ve done here in Texas and how we worked to get the nomination of a real, principled Conservative, we will start the fire burning in the hearts of all Americans who believe that the government that governs BEST, governs LEAST!
Sincerely,
Jarrod Atkinson
Dallas County Chair – Debra Medina Campaign

We must demand that our elected officials support and respect the 10th amendment and Texas sovereignty. The U.S. Constitution not only protects citizens’ freedoms in the Bill of Rights, it also divides power between the federal and state governments and ultimately reserves final authority for the people themselves. Texas must stop the over reaching federal government and nullify federal mandates in agriculture, energy, education, healthcare, industry, and any other areas D.C. is not granted authority by Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution.
