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

I thought that was one of our major goals: to defame the DNC and interfere with their fundraising efforts. It’s nice they noticed.

Besides being illiterate, this sentence does NOT say WHAT is "demonstratively false": the discussion about how to blame the tornado on the Bush administration or the entire phone call.

A cease-and-desist thread with 900+ replies.

Way to go, 'Rats.

If only all the nation's enemies were as dang dumb as DNC lawyers....

Is it possible to desist without ceasing?
Or to cease and yet not desist?
To cease or not to cease. THAT is the question.
I wonder if the Salami specialist Howie Dean is a solo salami sequesterer or if he needs a deceased liberal attorney to make it all right? Hmmmm?
Democrats. They are such a caution.

You are correct on your post that obviously the Lawyer “leaked” the letter to LW Bloggers in an attempt to do the exact same thing he accused Quinn and Rose of, defamation of character. So, if the “slimeball” wants to play hard ball, I submit that each of us who post on here donate 200 dollars, and 10 hours of time to Jim to “return the favor” to Sandler and Dean. If they think this is a war, then let’s give them what they want. Total uninhibited political campaign. Hold nothing back, and use every weapon in our arsenal. Remember, Dean set the bar, so let’s not disappoint him..

Just sayin, if they want a fight, then let’s run to that fight, and do it with enthusiasm. Embrace this opportunity to defend this constitution we have encased in the hearts of each of us. After all, this United States belongs to the People. If we sit back and allow those individuals to trample on our rights, we deserve what we get. We have a voting box, but we also have the right to speak out against injustices like these. I do sound bold don’t I?

CAN ANYBODY ON THIS THREAD ANSWER THE QUESTION I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE PAST HOUR: WHY HASN'T JIM ROBINSON PERSONALLY RESPONDED TO THIS EMAIL THAT WAS ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN SENT TO HIM????????????

Talk about bad timing. LOL! That is very amusing to see where this post of yours falls on the thread. I know it is embarrassing for you, but you will to admit that is funny.

FR isn't the only site on the internet with this information. Is the DNC going to sue EVERY CONSERVATIVE SITE ON THE WHOLE INTERNET???????

Or at least keep them silent through intimidation. They don't know us very well, do they?

Don’t be... because if the DEMS ever gain FULL control, you can rest assured sites like FR will be shut down.
Dems (i.e. communist) do not believe in free speech.

send all that to BOR... he’s all over Soros/Moveon... I bet he’d love to hear about the stalinist tactics deployed on FR by this moosetwit.

Has Hannity talked about this on his show, or is he too busy having lovefests with Sharpton...

The fact that DU is attacking Free republic is a measure of how effective we are against their propaganda that they feed the public.

Now is the time for us to continue to press them with everything we can.

If we had a nickel for all the times when dems have lied and slimed people, we’d be rich.
Watch out for those people. They are in power and are moving toward a totalitarian dictatorship.

Someone with computer prowess should post the photo of Howard Dean next to the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. Remarkable resemblance... “If I only had a brain.”

Hope I wasn’t too aggressive. I really would love to picket the DNC headquarters and demands his resignation. Just return his “playbook tactics” to him. Is Cindy Sheehan can do it, why can’t we? In fact, if Jim wanted to go and do this, I would go with him, and protest.

Just have a bunch of guys dress as islamakazis stand out front screaming “All-ha Snackbar” while carrying signs proclaiming Dhimmicrat victory for Terrorists.
Add quotes from Pelosi, Murtha, the swimmer, and scream boy about how we’re failing.

The proportional spacing of the font and the incredulous nature of the request are sure clues that this is a genuine e-mail from representatives of the DNC.

When I saw the original thread, I just read it and scrolled on. JMO, but maybe the Dems should have taken the low road. I imagine lot’s of people are going to be paying attention now.
Oh well...It’s nice to get a break from the “Rudy” news.
