Yep, get asked a loaded question, give a politicaly neutral answer, and watch the LIBERAL PRESS run with it to stir up the pot.
If the Minuteman Project was about HUNTING migrant people, who here would support it. Hunting, conotates killing.
And who here is for taking the law into your own hands?
Isn't someone who takes the law into their own hands, defacto a vigilante?
Is that the description of what the Minuteman Project is?
First of all The Washington Times is not the liberal press. It's Washington's conservative newspaper, and oridnarily is a strong supporter of the President, at least when it comes to just about anything other than immigration policy (much like a great many conservatives throughout the country). The liberal press has been ignoring this story, as far as I've been able to tell from searching the net, anyway. If you know of an LSM organ that has picked up on this, I'd be interested in seeing it.
Secondly, he didn't have to give a neutral answer. The reporter's "question" was pure slander against the American people, and Bush failed to even attempt to stand up for us. It'd be like a reporter asking him how he felt about Republicans literally sniping (like, with guns) at Democrats going about their business, and he responding simply that he's opposed to such a thing. Obviously a response like that would give credence to such completely baseless charges.
