Twisting Bush’s Words

More bias from the mainstream media.

<< Bush tars Iraq war protestors as isolationists >>

And what exactly did Bush say that would anyone to believe that he was "tarring" anti-war protesters as "isolationists?" Nothing, as far as I can tell from the article itself.

Here's everything Bush is quoted as saying in the article:
    The president, noting that he had already met with her 
last year after her son Casey was killed, said: "I
appreciate her right to protest. I understand her
anguish."
    "She expressed her opinion. I disagree with it. I think 
immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be a mistake. I
think those who advocate immediate withdrawal from not
only Iraq, but the Middle East, are advocating a policy
that would weaken the United States," said Bush.[...]
    "I've met with a lot of families. She doesn't represent 
the view of a lot of families I have met with. And I'll
continue to meet with families," Bush added.
I see no "tarring" there, do you? Nor do I see any mention of "isolationists."

And just so that we can all be certain that the President didn't "tar" anybody in his comments not quoted in the article, here's a full transcript of what was said during the press conference.

The premise of this article is pretty much an outright lie on the part of AFP. This is yellow journalism at its worst.
