Remember the NY state GOP chair who said Democrats were the party of "Howard Dean, Barbara Boxer and Lynne Stewart," trying to link them to the lawyer convincted of supporting terrorism?
Howard fights back.

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."
Pataki was the first to call out Minarik, giving Dean political cover.
