He [Bush] was talking about the trouble makers like those from Storm front who were trying to get involved with the Minutemen project when it first started up

You've said that posters were incorrect when they've said Bush called the Minutemen vigilantes. You're now saying that Bush was actually referring to those from Storm front. By claiming that, aren't you now doing what you've accusing others of, i.e., putting words into the President's mouth?

I still believe that the reporter was inquiring about the Minutemen and that Bush was also thinking of the Minutemen when he responded.

Here was the exchange:

Q. And, President Bush, I wanted to ask you about your opinion about those people who are hunting migrant people along the border.

PRESIDENT BUSH: I'm against vigilantes in the United States of America. I'm for enforcing law in a rational way. That's why you got a Border Patrol, and they ought to be in charge of enforcing the border.
