The president has not accused the Minutemen of being vigilantes

Neither he, nor his mouthpiece, Scott McClellan, have denied the President accused them of being so when asked that question, point-blank.

The president clarified to the reporter what he did say.

Prez:I decried potential vigilantism.

Simply stated, when the president was asked if he did "A", the president responded by saying he did "B".

Decrying potential vigilantism is not the same thing as making an accusation of vigilantism.

"A" does not equal "B".
