....the saddest part of it all is that the Minutemen who operate legally....are referred to by GWB as Vigilantes....and the Mexican Flag waving La Raza crowd out in LA numbering 1/2 million are just "here to do the jobs that Americans won't do"

I never expected to see GWB as a bald faced liar that he turned out to be.

While W did say he was against vigilanties(in response to a question about the minutemen) he never directly called the minuteman project or its members vigilantes.

W is opposed to people taking ACTIONS that they are not qualified to take. Arresting these folks would be what I think he said he is opposed to. W is not against the First ammendment and that is all the minutemen are doing. Excercising those rights.

Saying that W called the minutemen vigilantes is a spin and nothing more. Unless of course you can produce a quote where he directly called the minutemen vigilantes I suggest you should retract the claim you made. If you do so I will be happy to retract my statement.

I really hate defending W on this because it is too much like defending his overall position on this issue. I do so because I believe it to be right to stand against the spin and for the truth. I think the truth is that he ducked the question on the minutemen and just about everyone pertaining to that issue.

There is no need to stretch what he said to dissent his actions towards illegal immigration. You only hurt your own cause when you stretch the truth into something that it is not. W never said "minutemen are vigilantes" that I have seen. Care to show me something I have not seen?
