It's Not Just Medina

From the Houston Chronicle:
GOP governor hopeful denies conspiracy, but Democratic candidate Shami not so sure
By JOE HOLLEY
...About the time Medina was trying to clarify her position, her Democratic counterpart, Houston hair-products magnate Farouk Shami, offered up the same kind of remarks she was trying to disavow.
In an interview during a taping of Inside Texas Politics on Dallas' WFAA-TV, Shami refused to discount so-called “truther” theories that suggest the U.S. government played a role in the terrorist attacks.
“I'm not sure,” said Shami, who was born in Palestine and has lived in the United States since 1965. “I am not going to really judge or answer about something I'm not really sure about. But the rumors are there that there was a conspiracy. True or not? It's hard to believe, you know, what happened. It's really hard to comprehend what happened. Maybe. I'm not sure.”
Shami also said during the interview that he cannot find many white people willing to work, so he hires Hispanics and African Americans instead.
I'm pretty sure he is not one of those "ultra conservatives" referred to in the last post.
