She does not say this literally - the line about "war hero".
She is saying it because she thinks he deserves a medal for remaining gentlemanly as the Dems and Media wage war on him. She is only pointing out, otherwise, that he served honorably in the Texas Air Guard, yet these cretins even lied and slandered him about that. But she does not mean that he did heroic deeds in an actual war.
Unless, of course, you acknowledge that it takes guts and skill to fly an F-102, and we were in the Cold War.
As for his statement about "vigilantes", I saw when he said that. He was asked a question, before he or very many people knew what the Minutemen were about. Millions of Americans I am sure believed that these folks felt driven to take measures similar to law enforcement, because our own law enforcement was not working on the borders. The Media distorted what the Minutemen were about, and only after they operated for awhile did we see their tactics.
The only thing I fault him for is that after it became more apparent that they were not acting as vigilantes as he had feared, he would have done better to officially retract the answer that he had given to the reporter's question.
I think it is wrong to hold that against him as if he had never done anything else noble or good.
No you are not a Bush supporter, you are a Bush basher.
Right on. I voted for w twice, but I'm getting sick of his turning on our causes. His bumbling and pussyfooting in the Iraq war is bad too. Recently, I've come to the conclusion that someone as inarticulate as he just can't be very bright. I'm sick of this bloat the government crap. Bush is severely damaging the reputation of the Republican party, and I think that soon he will become the typhoid Mary of politics. He seems similar to Bob Taft (RINO governor of Ohio) who has a 17% approval rating here. Bush is a four letter word just like Taft.
You are not a Bush supporter either.
Birds of a feather flock together. Mr. Bush - please get a clue . .

The Libs continue to take advantage of Bush's nice-guy attitude. The Repubs don't fight back -- where is the blazing outrage from the Repub ranks that should be showing Clinton NOW ??? It is very discouraging to watch..
"Then sometimes I want to tell the President he needs to expose them for what they are..."

"But, that is exactly what he is doing without saying a word against them!"
Silence is golden.
This is exactly why I find him unimpressive. A good and wise man who knew nothing of the Minutemen would have withheld his comments, but he didn't and he went ahead and incorrectly labeled them.
Bubba is looking pretty bad these days. He looks like an old man. He is starting to act and look like Peanut-Boy Carter, the worst president that we have ever had.
I've come to the conclusion that someone who says something this stupid just can't be very bright.
And this was the least stupid thing in your entire post.
Got proof you ever voted for this extremely intelligent Harvard MBA.......even once?
True. He does not look well.
"Bill Clinton remains a true scumbag in every sense of the word. Obviously, Clinton is stiring the pot for his wifes future political ambitions. After all the nice treatment from Bush41 and Bush43, Clinton shows he is a classless a-hole."
My opinion of Clinton remains unchanged.
Seriously??
Eddie Yost?
"Breaking with tradition under which US presidents mute criticisms of their successors"
Well what would you expect from a White Trash Draft Dodger!
You clearly misunderstood what was being said in that post.
Your entire post is pure rubbish.
He's running for Hitlery's campaign now, obviously, and these criticisms make him as odious as Carter, if such a thing is possible. Despicable still describes the Clintons. She must ever become prez or the Republic is really finished. Think what Billious would do again in the WH! Holy cats! The idea is so repugnant I may be ill now just imagining that disaster. GAG!
Silence is golden.

Yes, and Clinton couldn't keep his mouth shut if it paid a $50 gold piece per minute.
