That particular canard is growing big strong legs!
[Not even -- and notwithstanding that he did not call the Arizona volunteers "vigilantes"...
Brian, aren't you splitting hairs here? How much closer than this does Bush have to come before I can infer than he was talking about the MMP? Do you think Bush was just referring to "vigilantes" in some general sort of a way?
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.

Close enough. I conceed.
But in mitigation suggest the rest of the post FRom which you lifted your quote leaves no doubt as to my strong sentiment on this issue?
