O.K. FReepers...read the article and then post your votes. Should Howard Dean:

--Keep it Up

--Sit Down and SHUT UP????

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Howard Dean, the new chairman of the Democratic National Committee, called on the head of New York's Republican Party to apologize or resign Wednesday over remarks linking the Democrats to a civil rights lawyer convicted of aiding terrorists.

Dean called Stephen Minarik's comments offensive, and said, "The American people deserve better than this type of political character assassination."

On Monday, Minarik said that Dean's election shows that "the Democrats simply have refused to learn the lessons of the past two election cycles, and now they can be accurately called the party of Barbara Boxer, Lynne Stewart and Howard Dean." Stewart is a New York City lawyer convicted last week of helping terrorists by smuggling messages from one of her imprisoned clients, a radical Egyptian sheik, to his terrorist disciples on the outside. Boxer is a liberal senator from California.

Minarik issued a statement Tuesday indicating he had no intention of backing away from what he had said.

Republican Gov. George Pataki scolded Minarik on Tuesday, saying his remark was not "within the realm of appropriate political discourse."

In the interest of fairness (snicker) I will recuse myself from voting. The results should be a.....scream.

[Hodar]

With Dean leading the Democrats .....

You know, the RNC simply can't buy advertizing like this; the more Dean says, the better off we are.

Will Dean apologize and resign for saying he hates me without knowing me?

"Minarik said that Dean's election shows that "the Democrats simply have refused to learn the lessons of the past two election cycles, and now they can be accurately called the party of Barbara Boxer, Lynne Stewart and Howard Dean."

Minarik is only stating the obvious here.

Howard Dean. The pinata that Hillary will break to attempt a run at the Presidency.

My vote. Let Howard keep shooting his mouth off. The entertainment is priceless.

"In the interest of fairness (snicker) I will recuse myself from voting. The results should be a.....scream."

My thoughts exactly... I vote....

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!

[Lovebloggers]

Keep talking - 2008 is looking like a landslide for the Republican party.

[Texas Eagle]

Wait a minute. How do we know that Dean isn't upset about being compared to Barbara Boxer?

[Bahbah]

The more we hear from Howard Dean the better.

[xcamel]

Dean and Pataki should **both** shaaadup - sometimes the truth hurts.

[Arnold Zephel]

[sarcasm]By all means the RNC state chairman should apologize for telling the truth.[/sarcasm]

Howie's audacity is surreal.

[TheForceOfOne]

Howard Dean hates us because we know why he hates us.

May he serve a very long time in his new post with the DNC assuring their place as a minority party for years to come.

[Grendel9]

I went to the site and looked for the Poll! <>g<>

Guess it's getting late here!

I vote: Keep Dean shooting off!

Dear Lord,

Thank you very much for giving Dean to the liberal/demo party. Before this gift, some of us were worried about the continued existence of our Great Country. Now that Dean is on the job, we can be sure that all he will do, is make noise and try to pick fights. This of course will cause any of the "Old Democrat Party" to move to our side and make us an even stronger Party and Nation.

My best to you dear Lord,

Gator

I agree- any short term rage over what this bafoon may say will be placated by the long term damage he does to the rats. HEIL HOWARD!!! GO-HOWIE-GO!!

Staten Island Democratic Association's meeting this week featured "guest of honor" criminal defense lawyer Lynne Stewart, a former Islander who is facing charges of terrorism. Ms. Stewart keynote address updated the group on the government's case against her. Ms. Stewart, a former Stapleton resident who graduated from Wagner College, was arrested in 2002 for allegedly providing material support for terrorism, among other charges.

I think the answer is clear - Dean needs to ramp it up.

[Ed_in_NJ]

Howeird is a flaming a-hole.

I will not apologize or resign for that remark.
