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
It depends on what the meaning of the word “is” is.
No one has ever accused Dean of being too smart.
Dead animals tell no tales.
Whether Quinn’s story is for real or not — it’s nice to see the DNC with their collective shorts in a knot.
"In other news, it's day 13,276 of the attorneys strike. Still no sign of caring from the American public."
Ping for great stupidity!
Hey Howard.... now that I know that you’re reading this....

Hello, an online webforum is a place to speak and discuss issues, ideas, events, and experiences.
I do realise that you will NOT be batting an eye at the obvious attempt to censor ideas you do not agree with.
No, you will not see it as censorship at all.
Now, how about taking your ‘issue’ up with the show that was mentioned instead of going after an unrelated THIRD PARTY?
Of course not, that wouldn’t be within the scope and grasp of your limited abilities.
That said, didn’t Howie Dean scream into the microphone a hideous “YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAARGH!” in the last election cycle?
Dummieland is back up. I checked the link you provided and the last post on the thread times around 1:04 pm (CST). Frankly, I’d suspect they’ve had threads there about pizzas that were longer and garnered more attention.
This hasn’t turned into the big deal they’d hoped. Ha! It also caused a small few there to wonder what affect this could have on them.
To you lurkers out there: Hello DUmmies! Guess what; it’s not your hated RNC that’s trying to quash free speech, it’s your beloved DNC! I know that might be a lot for your little minds to get hold of, but it’s true. Now, just who is it who’s afraid of free speech?
Man. And here I was thinking it was just MY dog.
No problem! Always glad to be confused with a fellow Georgia Dawg!
Get stuffed!!
I don’t know, lots of stuff gets said privately that no pol ever wants published.
Of course, the DNC has no comment on the their personal attacks against the president, the Republican party, conservatives in general, and our soldiers fighting a war.
Regarding the soldiers, the DNC and lapdog media are constantly accusing the troops of being poorly trained, incompetent, and sadistic. They should be in prison for sedition.
Wrong! Ha!
I am coffee206, er coffee062, damn!...coffee260 and so is my husband, and my dog...
Hee.
