On June 2, 2005, in remarks before a gathering of Campaign for America’s Future, DNC Chair Howard Dean said that Republicans "have never made an honest living in their lives."

Stop Her Now Executive Director William Black asserted Friday, "This intentional and deplorable insult to livelihoods of the tens of millions of Americans that identify themselves as Republican has truly lowered the discourse of politics to a previously unthinkable depth, even by Howard Dean's standards."

Stop Her Now, Black said, has called upon Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to forcefully and publicly denounce these remarks.

"Not only should Hillary Clinton denounce these remarks on behalf of her Republican constituents, but also because they impugn her personal integrity," Black said.

Black notes that Hillary Clinton’s father Hugh Rodham, was a lifelong Republican.

Born to English immigrant parents in Pennsylvania, Mr. Rodham sought a better life than toiling in the Scranton coal mines, and attended Penn State University. He then began what was to prove to be a very successful career in the textile industry.

Raising his children in the affluent Chicago suburb of Park Ridge, IL, Mr. Rodham was a staunch supporter of Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign and remained a committed Republican until his death in 1993.

Even after his daughter married Democrat Bill Clinton, he (according to Bill Clinton) "never gave up hope that his son-in-law would join him in the Republican Party and support a cut in the capital gains tax."

Black asks, "Does Hillary Clinton believe that her father came to his success dishonestly?"

"If Hillary Rodham Clinton allows these comments to pass, she will indeed have joined Howard Dean in besmirching the memory of her late father and his life’s work," Black concluded, adding, "Work that clothed and fed Hillary, and paid for her Wellesley education."
