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 Quinns 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 DNCs 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
Thank you, Jim
The DNC will have to go through the entirety of Free Republic before you get touched.
How many thousands are registered?
Exactly
Legal cease and desists are not sent via email, they are sent via certified mail..........
What makes you believe he was? If you follow the link for the original post, you'll see it goes off site to http://a9.g.akamai.net/7/9/8082/v001/democratic1.download.akamai.com/8082/pdfs/20070510_freepletter.pdf.
Thus, he was referencing an off site pdf file of a letter sent by email to Free Republic.
Please note: This picture is publically available on the NPR website. It was published along with a debate in which Joe Sandler participated. It can also be found elsewhere on the Internet.
I AM COFFEE260 AND SO IS MY WIFE!
First see my previous post regarding how he became aware of it. Second, if the email is so bogus, why did the radio station acknowledge receipt of a similar notice? Third, do you know for a fact that this notice was not sent via email, snail mail, certified mail or bicycle rider?
Ha ha I have been following this thread.
Spiff you’ve followed this thread as close as anyone. Has JimRob responded?
Re-read my comment, I DON'T and that is the point. I wasn't about to read thru over 600 posts on this thread alone then go off on another to get to the bottom of this hoax.
There was nothing said in his/her initial comment that made any inference that he/she was not the recipient of said posted email and that is why I asked how it was they were the recipient of this email..........
Wow. This is very interesting. I was watching the evening ‘news’ (bwaha) and I noted right away that the spin was out that there would not be enough National Guards to help with the aftermath because they are in Iraq. That was it, no numbers no facts to back anything up, just general statements. I believe it was the NBC Nightly News.
Makes me wonder how concerted this spin was. I would love to know if NBC, CBS and ABC were contacted.

Watch out for the leftist censors!! You said Adam! It’s a biblical name! (OOOPS - I said biblical; oh my G-d, I said G-d; I said it again....)
P.S. I offer much gratitude to Monty Python for the inspiration.
Nope.
They’ll never take me alive.
ROFL!!!!
READ THE FOLLOWING FROM THE ORIGINAL POST ON THIS THREAD!I only reply to what I see in the posted article..........If you don't like the way it looks, go back and read it for yourself. I don't have the time to reformat it with the appropriate HTML to appease you......

Sorry then, I misread your post. It came across to me as being critical of the thread poster, what with all the bogus claims.
It's been a long day, and I've been part of this from the start (almost). Thus far, there has been enough confirmation elsewhere to prove to me this is not a bogus situation. Please see my other posts to you for points in that regard.
Again, I'm sorry for misunderstanding.
