NY GOP Chair Minarik accuses Democrats of being traitors

Newsday reports that NY GOP chair stands by his earlier comparison of Democrats to a lawyer recently convicted of aiding terrorism.

Minarik touched off a firestorm on Monday by saying that in electing Dean as national party chairman on Saturday "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.

Where is the moral leadership of the Republican Party? Does George Bush agree? Why is Minarik still chair of the Republican party?
