Re: Statement re Democratic National Committee

Dear Mr Robinson:

We are writing on behalf of our client, the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

A post by “coffee260” on FreeRepublic.com today states that this morning, on the Quinn & Rose show on XM, co-host Quin stated that the DNC chairman, Gov. Howard Dean had called Gov Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kans) “around 5:00am on morning after a tornado destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kansas and discussed with here what to say about the tornado and how to blame the war in Iraq and the Bush administration on a slow response to the aftermath.”

The statement was made by Mr Quinn, repeated on FreeRepublic, is demonstrably, unequivocally and absolutely false. Gov Dean had no such conversation with Gov Sebelius, ever.

No effort was made by FreeRepublic to contact anyone at the DNC for comment or to check the accuracy of these statements before they were published. FreeRepublic not only repeated this statement, but further stressed that Quinn’s “source” was extremely reliable and in a position that would give him direct knowledge of these revelations.

The statements quoted above are false and defamatory, are libelous and slanderous and clearly threaten to interfere with the DNC’s operations and ability to solicit support and raise funds by predjuding the organization in the eyes of the Democratic Party supporters and the public. For these reasons, we demand that FreeRepublic immediately cease and desist from Further dissemination of the above quoted statements or any statements similar in substance and immediately post a retraction of these statements in a location on its web pages at least as prominent as that on which the original story appeared.

Please let us know by noon, May 11, 2007, whether you intend to comply with these requests.

Thanks for your time and immediate attention to this important matter.

Sincerely yours,
(Signature)
Joseph E Sandler

That's funny, I saw posted on the internet that "Joseph E Sandler rapes border collies." What a coincidence.

I think the RNC should sue DU for running a story about Cheney and a connection with the DC Madam. I wonder if this Strathos poster checked with Cheney before they ran with the story?

AS to the letter, it smells and looks like a fraud to me, too many words mispelled and too many simply made up.

It's legit, rface just made the typos transcribing it from the original.

Oh, you misspelled "misspelled", by the way. ;)

How many posts are there on FR each day? Ten thousand? Fifty thousand? I have no idea. And the DNC expects Jim Robinson and the mods to personally vet each post for accuracy and fairness?

*************

No, they expect him to do much more than that.

I just received an email from Jim Quinn of the Quinn & Rose show. He write of the DNC response, "FUNNY. THEY HAVEN'T CONTACTED US."

The PDF sent to XM claims they CC'd Quinn via email. Of course, the DNC are a bunch of liars (I read that on the internet!), so I wouldn't believe them anyway.

Good, because brevity is the soul of wit.

Ha! Yeah, sometimes brevity fails me, like the time...Oh, forget it.

Hot Air has a copy of a similar cease and desist letter to XM radio.

“I hand typed this letter from a PDF.....mistakes in spellling (sic) and gramor (sic) are mine.”

Okay. To you, rface, I say go back to elementary school and learn grammar and how to spell.

To Mr. Mango Tree Lawyer, I will say: Tú mama, pendejo.

Using TruthOut’s Rove lies as a Template, can I say that “Anonymous sources” and Attorney’s close to the case” have told me that Dean will be frog-marched in 24 business hours?

I guess they are going to the horse’s rear instead of the horses’ mouth - XM radio.

From HOTAIR-

“.....it’s interesting that they would resort to C&D notices to combat this story and characterize it as “libelous” and “slanderous” and “interfering with the DNC’s operations and ability to solicit support and raise funds.”

The Democrats as a party have been libeling and slandering President Bush with impunity for years. Perhaps the RNC should start slapping them with C&Ds.”
