Exactly. Guthrie's main intent is to get a judge to put an injuction on them until after the election. I'll bet $20 towards FR that Guthrie's lawyers are either being paid by the DNC or are politically active DNC members.

"They don't have a case. Parody falls under "fair use". It's politically motivated intended to intimidate them with lawyers."
Roger that. But they still try to bully.

Parody falls under "fair use". The cartoon isn't parody; it's satire.
A parody alters an original work to make fun of the original work. OTOH, alteration of an original work to make fun of something unrelated to the original work is called satire. Is the JibJab cartoon making fun of This Land Is Your Land, or is it making fun of Bush and Kerry? It's not a parody unless it's making fun of the original song.
