Dallas Adult Entertainment: Debra Medina Implodes on Glenn Beck’s Show
Glenn Beck is almost unparalleled when it comes to hatching conspiracy theories (see: China owns America). But the conservative pundit occasionally highlights a conspiracy that becomes a genuine scandal. Last year, it was ACORN, which Beck repeatedly condemned before its pimp-prostitute scandal. Today, Beck had Debra Medina, the Tea Party gubernatorial candidate in Texas and rumored “9/11 Truther” on his radio program. Beck asked her point-blank whether she believed 9/11 was caused by the government, and her response included “well I don’t have all the facts” and “there are some legitimate questions.”
Though Medina quickly released a statement denying she was a “Truther,” the damage has already been done. Conservative bloggers have scrambled to write Medina’s epitaph, while liberals have couched their lukewarm praise for Beck in criticism of his other conspiracy theories.
