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 like the fact that we're strong and smeart enough to scare them. I doubt anyone would ever bother trying to silence DU.
Proofread, AQ!
But aren’t we entitled to see all the e-mails between Dean and the Governor?
“Why don’t they threaten our Islamic enemies?”
Very good point!
the original poster was clearly just making a factual statement of what he had heard on the radio. If the rats could sue for this, they could sue for anything.
The following was copied and pasted from this file: DMCA PDF FILE
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)1 was signed into law by President Clinton on October 28, 1998. The legislation implements two 1996 World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties: the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty. The DMCA also addresses a number of other significant copyright-related issues.
Wasn't pulled...just died a quick death. It was another of my tongue-in-cheek responses that, as usual, had little comedic value. ;^)
ohhh we’re so ascared
Dear DNC:
Howard Dean is the Anti-Christ.
Yours,
B.C.
“A post by “coffee260” on FreeRepublic.com today states that this morning”
You are being watched!
“... that the conversation in question between Senator Brownback and Governor Sebelius did not take place.”
How very carefully stated! Would the Gov. have emailed? Or spoken on voicemail? Or maybe it was EXACTLY the “conversation in question” but meant the same thing? And don’t tell me she couldn’t be that stupid as to HAVE a conversation about any of this, with Brownback or Dean. She absolutely lied about not enough National Guards and/or equipment (it was all over in Iraq, right?) This woman is not only a liar but may well be stupid- after all, she’s a Nastycrat. Just one of the Nasties temporarily in power.
FR is accurately reporting what was said on the Quinn show. "
Glad to see that the DNC confirmed what Quinn said. So, is it now illegal to talk to someone about what Quinn said?
YOu know, they never say that Dean called Selebius. Their source said Selebius blamed her action on Dean, and SHE’S the one who said Dean called her.
So maybe the story is completely true. Maybe Selebius DID say that Dean called her. If so, we are completely in our rights to repeat that story. Maybe DNC should be suing her, or making her issue a retraction.
AND
Coming in contact with the dnc will get you a bad case of cooties.
I meant to imply that the whole letter seems like a joke.
Mr. Sandler, DNC Communists, and Howard Scream:
Up Yours.
Sincerely,
prairiebreeze
