Dean: New York GOP chairman must apologize or resign

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Howard Dean, just four days into his job as Democratic National chairman, called Wednesday for New York's state Republican chairman to apologize or resign over remarks linking Democrats to a civil rights lawyer convicted of aiding terrorists.

Calling Stephen Minarik's comments "offensive," the former Vermont governor said, "The American people deserve better than this type of political character assassination."

Far from apologizing, Minarik issued a statement deriding the national chairman's comments as "the latest `Dean Scream."'

"We are confident Howard Dean will continue Terry McAuliffe's rich tradition of raising money, losing races, and staying out of touch with mainstream Americans," Minarik said. "It is not the Republican Party's problem that these far-left activists have made their home in the Democratic party."

holes.

2. Good for Dean!!! Fie on Minarik

But then, what can you expect from yet another lying CROOK????

[Zenlitened]

3. Nasty little fuck, this Minarik, huh?

Nice to see the Doc taking the fight to him. I think it's good strategy to light little fires under repukes at every opportunity, and this case is a good example. Put the little creeps on the defensive, for a change.

4. Ugly. Just...ugly.

Just when I think Republicans couldn't possibly behave more repulsively, they prove me dead wrong. What a piece of work.

6. You mean, "what a piece of crap!!"

Did you know "what a piece of work" is from Shakespeare??
("What a piece of work is a man!" -- Hamlet)

Pretty amazing

5. Talk about Class

Dean needs to point out the fact that the republican party has none.

7. In the tradition of rush limbaugh

those loud mouth blow-hard bastards, they can stop defining 'us' any time now. They can shut up about the Dean scream. I'm sick of hearing 'anything that's bad for America is good for the Democrats'

Take him to the cleaners.
