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

Quinn and Rose repeated the exact same stuff on Hannity's show later in the PM. They have an unamed source, though I guess those type of sources are only good if you are a dem.

Well, “bite me” was already taken. So I had to go with something that I knew would fly over many heads.

Here is an excerpt of post #855:

letter from DNC lawyers to Free Republic:

"DNC chairman, Gov. Howard Dean had called Gov Kathleen Sebelius (D-Kans) “around 5:00 am 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.”

Please refer to post #855 for the entire post.

Somebody help to unconfuse me, please...

This sleazeball lawyer writes Jim Robinson a threatening letter, and then this letter is posted by some sleazeball leftist 'Rat on DU.

How did it find its way to DU? I doubt that Jim gave it to them; so that would leave, let's see, the sleazeball lawyer as the only party likely to have provided this correspondence to the sleazeball leftist 'Rat site.

Hard to take the sleazeball lawyer seriously when he pimps his BS threat letter to the leftists at DU.

Who knows if the Howard Dean-Kathleen Sebelius thing is true, but the truth is that Kathleen Sebelius lied about the state of Kansas National Guard and whether or not they had enough people and equipment to help the town of Greensburg.

Well, since they insist that it's demonstrably false they will, of course, be thrilled to provide complete lists of phone calls from both Dean's and the Gov.'s offices (including all phones either of them have access to) for the entire day in question...and we'll see how demonstrable it is.

What is that that the left is always yammering, that the Bush Administration is "the most secretive in history" or some such? The Bush Admin. has nothing on liberal lawyers for pushing secrecy.

I've never seen anything like it

Threaten a cease and desist or else

And if you publish the threat to prove they did it .. they'll sue you for that too

My Dearest friend Jim,

Although you only know me from my screen name, I am your friend. I applaud you for your stand against the fascism of Howard Dean and the Digital Brown Shirt Brigade. As a fellow loyal US Citizen, I am only an e-mail away should you need extra funds to fight this battle against the tyranny of the DNC. For a long time now, I have only been a casual observer of the board. But the radio broadcast yesterday of Quinn and Rose prompted me to change from being a “pew potato” to an “Active Arsenal”. I could not help but notice that you have so many folks on this site that support your stand. Maybe it is time for the DNC to be challenged by the People of the United States. Obviously they have forgotten what country they serve.

Carry on, faithful one, to face this Goliath

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

Hmmmmm, you might be right.
