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

If the Dems think that “falsehood” is bad, wait until they see that on FR we actually tell the truth about them!

she said she was more scared driving I70 from Ohio to Kansas (because of the condition of the road) than she was on 9/11.

Had forgotten about that. She had to do some fancy footwork and explaining on that.

As soon as someone directs me to Jim Robinson's response .....

Funny but I found it all by myself. It's real.

I have been dormant since the Yahoo boards closed down. Just when I was pummeling BT5C (Beento5continents_2000) into the wall, the boards were suddenly shut down to an unrelated lawsuit. So I had been a spectator since then, although occasionally ventured onto the “Liberal Sanctuary” of craigslist. I lost my ID there the first day because I disagreed with a Leftwingnut named goatspace. Apparently, he is a staff employee, and if you disagree with him, you get removed. But anyway, I am here now.

Reply to the DNC: Go FY!

I wouldn’t believe them even if they were telling the truth.

A stopped clock is correct twice a day. The DNC isn’t that credible.

So after all the lies that come out of their mouths, I say “STUFF IT”.

Or, “let’s go outside”.

can we talk about “Dead should come Clean” on the Kansas issue?. How about “Empowered Howard coward from Quinn and Rose’s Power”?

“Isn’t ‘yourself’ one word?”

The first word could be “Please” - he DID say it was polite...

The four words were ‘read the first amendment’?

Nah, probably a little shorter.

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

I can get paid to do that? Where do I sign up?:')

It was funny, Today the LW was talking about the NG being down to the level it was in early 2001. Meaning, Bush needed a war to deplete the NG: Clinton just had to be in office to deplete the NG. I guess they didn’t have a good speech writer on that one.

have a great weekend.
