President Bush knows this, and chose to use the word "vigilante He knew exactly what effect that word would have in his speech. He should start speaking up in defense of patriots rather than trying to smear them.
He has lost much credibility because he panders to Mexico and open borders and refuses to listen to what America is trying to tell him.

That may be, but President Bush took the word "vigilante" directly from the challenging use of the words "Vigilance Organization" in the description the Minutemen use themselves.
The Minutemen knew the origin of the word "vigilante" when they chose the words Vigilance Organization to describe themselves. They knew full well that anyone who knows any Southwestern History knows where the word "vigilante" comes from.
It was a direct challenge, and President Bush took them up on it. I'm not commenting on the pros and cons of Bush's policies. I'm just pointing out a salient fact.
