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

Joseph E Sandler is a faggot and I have incriminating photos. Sue me.

Oh, please don't use that word, faggot.

Instead you should refer to him as a "John Edwards".

“This just demonstrates that the DNC is fearful of FreeRepublic. As they should be!”

I have no doubt the most tinfoil-hatted of posters -— you know, the ones that sound like a parody of what a liberal thinks a knuckle-dragging conservative to be -— are DNC plants.

It’s done in an attempt to drive serious people from the conservative movement.

Wait just a second...

You mean to tell me that

DNC chairman, Gov. Howard Dean called Gov Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kansas) around 5:00am on the morning after a tornado destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kansas and discussed with her 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.

?

How can this be?

The DNC obviously has several paid employees whose job is to lurk here 24/7.

They needed to feed the monster in the corner office and here we are.

Fascinating.

“I did not hear any rumors about Joseph E Sandler and Howard Dean having sexual relations with dead animals. Not to say that Democrats think there is anything wrong with that. Just bringing this to your attention.”

I did not hear anything like that, either.

I seriously doubt that to be true, but you never know about people.

I can’t believe an attorney actually signed his name to this letter.

Too funny.

****

Maybe he didn’t. Perhaps it was signed by whoever forged the President’s military records for CBS.

When will Howard Dean apologize for his "interesting theory out there" that the president knew about 911?

Are we still allowed to give our opinion that Dean is mentally unstable, or aren't we allowed to say that anymore? I don't think that demonstrably prove that he isn't.

Pretty nasty looking picture, traditionall.

I’m no beauty, but if I looked like Nostrilitus, I would work diligently to educate myself on issues, be honest about those issues and develop a personality.

Henry has done none of the above.

“Thread after thread posted by different posters on the same, slanderous story.”

Again, only if it was sladerous. It sounds like some the DNC would do, really.

“Blame Bush” is the Dimrat mantra.

Are we still allowed to tell people that Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broaddrick? How about that Hillary has had filed on her behalf four false FEC reports?

He’s a small piece of wood? Or maybe he has a small piece of wood?

Perhaps that explains the non-rumor rumor above?

I really have to learn to include the sarcasm tag when I use it. The use of the word "slanderous" was sarcastic. I just think it would get the DNC's panties in such a twist if thread after thread was something to do with their C&D order.

Note carefully that the DNC does not deny that a call was made, nor that there was advice on how to politicize the tornado. They merely set up a very specific straw man and assert that the specified precise set of facts are not entirely and precisely true.

This is a VERY good point. If even one LETTER or one WORD was not identical to the spoken conversation, Dean's lawyers could claim the "Gov Dean had no such conversation with Gov Sebelius, ever." Joe Stalin used to use this technique, too.
