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

Did you not get the memo - the “dems” HAVE SUSPENED “free speech”...

[free_life]

Will the real coffee260 please stand up?

At ease!

[Enchante]

So true - after the depravity of the Demagogues on Katrina, any ‘RAT Governor knows what the talking points are without being coached. Dean might have said nothing more than “go for it!” or “Bush lied!” or “Pour on the BDS!”

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I AM COFFEE260

[StAnDeliver]

I offer either Mr. Dean and/or Gov. Sibelius the opportunity to pursue an action in a court of law where we will have free and unfettered access to all of the public & private phone/e-mail/fax records of:

• Mr. Howard Dean, acting as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee
• Gov. Kathleen Sibelius, acting as chief executive of the Governor's Office of Kansas
• Kansas Office of Homeland Security
• Kansas National Guard
• and each and every media outlet that appears on said records.

“””””””””Osama Obama “misspeaks”, and says in a speech.........10,000 died.................(””””””””””

The Dems love a catastrophe - bet they are disappointed there were only 1,500 people displaced in Greensberg, Kansas.

Desperately looking for another Katrina to blame on Bush.
With respect to Katrina, nearly 650,000 people lived in areas that sustained moderate to catastrophic damage.

I'm not sure this guy strikes fear into the hearts of Bill and Hillary...

[PEACE ENFORCER]

O.K. had to e-mail this to Rush. Maybe he will offer this SCUMBAG TERD SUMBITCH ....a BIG glass of S.T.F.U. !!

[bcsco]

yup..it may be as easy as dean calling and saying, “you know what to do”..

now how do you nail them with that?

like I’ve said before, she got her talking points from somewhere since she was too quick on the trigger while A LOT of help was already there AND more was arriving..

You're probably as close as anyone as to what really went down. And now they can claim plausible deniability. It's all in the details, however.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

heh..that reminds me of the scene in “erin brockovich” where the CEO calls his lackey and says to give to the lawyers “everything we have”..the lackey understands while the shredders are goin to town..

those records would be freakin buried so deep..

[Riley]

Approves of this thread so far...

[jonrick46]

As is always when you try to give a factual account about anything, the MSM always twists the facts to benefit their socialistic agenda. I don't know how it happened, but this is how the story has changed:

DNC chairman, Gov. Howard Dean called Gov Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kans) around 5:00 AM. Gov. Dean apparently was off his meds and that morning went into a wild rage. His rage set off a huge tornado that destroyed the town of Greensburg, Kansas. He had called Sebelius in an effort to deflect blame for the tornado by telling her to blame the war in Iraq and the Bush Administration for the tornado. She was also told to make it look like it was the Bush Administration’s fault for the slow response at rendering aid to the stricken victims. sarc/

And S. Hannity had the “nerve” to also repeat the Quinn report on the air to his millions of listeners.... I guess he will be getting a similar DNC “demand” letter as well?

[incredulous joe]

“DNC is apparently stupider than we thought.”

They’re not stupider than I thought.

Governor Lilmarty of Maryland started playing on this riff about the not having enough National Guardsmen available in Kansas, too.

These liberals are such a bunch of soulless dorks. I don’t know if they actually have enough braincells to connect the dots.

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.

This is clearly false because anyone still supporting the DNC who is still fully alive and of somewhat normal intelligence are complete idealogical Stalinist maniacs.

I'm pretty sure no Americans support the Democratics.

[Mat_Helm]

All your Quinn & Rose show on XM radio statements from Howard Dean are belong to us!

Bwaahhaaahhaaahaaaa.....

You have no cahnce to survive so make your time by May 12 Mr. Sandler!

Sandler: "Somebody set us up the tornado and our little dog too!"

Bwaaahaaaahaaaahhaaaa!
