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
“Oh, you misspelled “misspelled”, by the way. ;)”
I never claimed to be able to type or spell...of course, I’m not a million dollar a year democrat shill lawyer.
That goes for me, too! As long as there are any of us patriots left, his efforts on our behalf will not go unappreciated!
And if you also served, please accept my thanks for your service and our FReedom!
You really gotta laugh at them. The filth and vitrol on KOS and DU meet the grade for “hate crime” status. And if anyone on the right criticizes their speech, it’s abject hysteria for the response.
What a bunch of babies. Litigate your candidates into office and your enemies into silence.
BTW, under their standard Michael Moore ought to be serving 5 years in PMITA federal prision.
I’m not coffee260, but I play him on TV.
Unless FR says this letter is true and real, I posted this on another thread
To: mware; All
if you click the link at the top, you get this
not exactly coming from where the letter was “purported” to have originated - notice “freepletter.pdf”..not something an attorney would put on there. Also, they would have it delivered by courier or service messenger, NOT sent via e-mail. Notice also that the letter is “signed” with an illegible signature and NO title..
I might be wrong, but I call BS on the letter. Someone out there thought this would be funny. Maybe we can seriously trace this thing back to the originator.

“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”
If they did that and the dems obeyed, both the dems and the old media would be silent and the alphabet news services would be hours of dead air.
How in the world can DU continue to say the dumbest and most obscene things, yet no one threatens them like this. DNC needs to soak their own backyard with Clorox before they start coming over here.
Clyde?
Has anyone working closely to Gov Sebelius or Dean suddenly quit realizing they need more time with their family?
Their fax to Quinn & Rose.
It's really a letter to XM and not directly addressed to Quinn & Rose. I emailed Jim Quinn about this earlier this morning and he just responded back to me indicating that he had not seen such a letter from the DNC attorney.
This just demonstrates that the DNC is fearful of FreeRepublic. As they should be!
I’d call that site as poisoning minds, not brainwashing.
Agreed :0)
You know, I find it hard to believe this was actually written by an attorney. It’s amateurish.
yes there is

I do laugh at them, daily for the past 15 years or so. They’re definitely a bunch of crybabies!!
Aha...interesting! It strengthens my suspicion that the Sandler letter is a fake.
What’s the legal take on the letter leading this thread?
