Dean Condemns 'Anti-Semitic Literature' (The Associated Press, June 17, 2005)
A handful of people at Democratic National Headquarters distributed material critical of Israel during a public forum questioning the Bush administration's Iraq policy, drawing an angry response and charges of anti-Semitism from party chairman Howard Dean on Friday."We disavow the anti-Semitic literature, and the Democratic National Committee stands in absolute disagreement with and condemns the allegations," Dean said in a statement posted on the DNC Web site.
Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, organized the forum on Thursday at the Capitol to publicize and discuss the so-called Downing Street memo.

"The entire Democratic Party remains committed to fighting against such bigotry."
Fat chance! Half their activist base believes in "such bigotry."

And just how is Howard Dean going to keep the haters (like Conyers and Cynthia McKinney) from spewing again, never mind Dick Durbin?
