Heartache: Tea Party candidate in Texas a 9/11 truther; Update: Medina responds

Six days ago, the big news out of Texas was that Tea Party activist and gubernatorial candidate Debra Medina came within the margin of error with Kay Bailey Hutchison, who barely clung to second place against incumbent Rick Perry. Today, Glenn Beck suffers heartbreak when Medina more or less cops to being a 9/11 Truther as well as a “constitutional conservative” candidate. “I think some very good questions raised have been raised in that regard,” Medina replies when Beck asks whether she believes that the American government was in any way involved in bringing down the World Trade Center towers on 9/11.

NOTE- Like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Charlie Rangel, Barack Obama, Barney Frank, Joe Biden, Barbara Boxer, Maxine Waters, Bobby Rush, Roland Burris, Al Franken and Chris Dodd embarrass the democratic party, and Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe embarrassing the republican party, you are going to have people like Medina tainting the Tea Party name. We have to eliminate ALL of these people from the parties they taint. Remember that the 'Tea Party' is a movement, and people like Medina will not last long. The people of the Tea Party movement have real strong principles.
