Yes, they fear being caught. I would say that this is along the lines of throwing a rock at a pack of dogs - the one that yelps is the one you hit.
If they’re afraid of this, it’s time to exploit it to the maximum degree possible.

“.....it’s interesting that they would resort to C&D notices to combat this story and characterize it as “libelous” and “slanderous” and “interfering with the DNC’s operations and ability to solicit support and raise funds.”
The Democrats as a party have been libeling and slandering President Bush with impunity for years. Perhaps the RNC should start slapping them with C&Ds.”
