Vigilantes Spark Protests From Civil Rights Groups
That line makes it sound like "Operation Border Watch" is responsible for the protests from the "Civil Rights Groups."
Also, it calls the people involved with "Operation Border Watch" vigilantes, while the next sentence says that they "will not be allowed to commit vigilante or racial violence." This in effect proclaims that they are breaking the law right from the beginning.
The Orwellian double-speak in this article is getting pretty well entrenched. Sadly, President Bush also called the Minutemen "vigilantes". While he is a good man, he is the person who is most responsible for legitimizing the term.
"I'm against vigilantes in the United States of America."~ President George Bush
I don't believe Pres. Bush has ever retracted that statement.
-Our President has also made the following statements. (the first two statements were made before he was President):
"Family Values Don't Stop at the Rio Bravo" -- George W. Bush
"Hell, if they'll cross Big Bend, we want 'em." -- George W. Bush
"They just do the jobs Americans won't do...."--George W. Bush
