According to himself, HE IS.
PLEASE DIGG AND FAVORITE BELOW so we can expose this FAKE conservative.
Well, if your a NEO-CON like Glenn Beck or David Horowitz she is.
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was asked if she supports a new investigation into 9/11 called for by the victims’ family members. This was her answer.

Scott Mason’s latest audio blog examines the Glenn Beck / Debra Medina 9/11 Truther controversy and why Beck is a sandbagging shill; Free Speech Monster
By Fat Libertarian: Today we learned a great lesson about political correctness and the new libertarian movement. First of all, watch the video and decide for yourself if what happened in this interview really makes Debra Medina “unfit” for governor of Texas, or if this is just political correctness bullshit. I think you know where I stand.
UPDATE: I LOVE AMERICA! After this interview she’s had the mainstream establishment political system turn against and attack her. However she’s (as far as I can tell) been getting more donations today as a result. The more the mainstream attacks her, the American people (tired of no choice) are giving her more money. God Bless this wonderful country!

This was a rather pathetic display by Glenn Beck. I say this as someone who watches his show. He claims to be a conservative but this interview reveals him to be a big government neoconservative -- and here’s how I got there;
You can’t be for a small, limited government and not have a healthy fear of government. You can’t be for a small and limited government yet not realize that our foreign policy makes that impossible.
You also can’t be for a small and limited government when you immediately reject someone who HAS a politically incorrect distrust of government.
Debra Medina is not a 9/11 truther but because she’s a genuine conservative she has a natural distrust of the Federal government, Glenn Beck immediately derides her and then suggests he’d rather support a big-government progressive in Rick Perry.
As further proof that this is a neoconservative thing to do we just see how the neoconservatives over at hot-air.com immediately jumped on this. They are for war.
They are for political correctness but only when someone goes after the WAR MACHINE in a politically incorrect way.
However, if you suggest we should racial profile in order to win the war on terror -- Yeah they’re not quite as politically correct on that are they? It’s because they are selectively politically correct and seek to use political correctness to destroy those they can’t defeat on the facts or with substance. They know their pro-war message is incompatible with what the founders thought.
Neoconservatives like Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin and Sean Hannity do not seek to empower the people, but rather they seek to empower the federal government so it can continue our immoral foreign policy.
They uphold the warfare state and will try to destroy anyone who dares to question that state with BOLDNESS.
Glenn Beck and neoconservatives like him, might be for “low taxes” but they always and continually fail to see the costs and realities of our foreign policy and the perpetual warfare state. Our foreign policy makes it impossible to achieve their supposed goal of a small and limited government with “less spending”.
I really like Debra Medina and even if she were a 9/11 truther, what would be the harm in that?
Having a governor who has a considerable distrust and fear of the Federal Government is a positive, not a negative. Isn’t that right Glenn Beck?
Again, in my opinion the 9/11 truth movement only really hurts those with a naive trust of government and/or the federal government itself. It’s just like the right to arm oneself. Just because someone owns guns does that mean they are crazy conspirators who think the government is going to come after them? Maybe it does, but last time I checked, Glenn Beck is one of those gun owners. He’s a kook too, I guess.
But now we know that Glenn Beck is a pro-war neoconservative who seeks to empower the government over the people.
I am not a 9/11 truther. .. but I support the right to be one.
I’m for freedom.
I’m for honesty.
I’m not for political correctness because I believe it neuters society of truth.
I believe our foreign policy which is something our founders would be against, has created the motivation for terrorism in America.
I am for a non-interventionist foreign policy because it’s compatible with a small and limited government.
Furthermore, when we adhere to a non-interventionist foreign policy we are less likely to encourage terrorism as a whole and therefore we are at less risk for losing our civil liberties.
It’s the only way to remain principally conservative. I just wish we could get off this politically correct nonsense and instead embrace truth.
Here’s an updated response from Medina on this from CBS;
Medina said she stood by the underlying premise for her response, which was the right to question the government.
Sounds like a conservative to me.
It’s just too bad that Glenn Beck is not really conservative now that he’s boxed himself in a politically correct corner.
UPDATE: Here’s Debra explaining, pretty much what I said above.

Glenn Beck didn’t always believe in what he was doing. “When I was young, I used to hear people say, ‘He’s a golden boy. Look at that guy. Can you imagine what he’s going to be like when he grows up?’ Well, I unfortunately bought into that. And I hadn’t even found myself. Quite honestly, I was running from myself. But I knew how to work Top 40 radio.”
