Donald Trump has sent the Club for Growth a cease and desist letter aimed at stopping the conservative outside group from airing a set of attack ads against him in Iowa.
The letter comes a week after the Club for Growth unveiled a set of 30-second ads in Iowa attacking Trump as just another politician who supports liberal policies.
"I am not surprised the dishonest, irrelevant and totally failing Club for Growth has resorted to attacking the definitive front runner, especially after I refused to contribute to their pathetic group," Trump said in a statement. "We will be releasing my current tax proposal, which is a major decrease in taxes, in the next week and will continue to expose the two faced hypocrisy of the Club for Growth and the problems groups like this perpetuate within a broken Washington, D.C."
The cease and desist letter argues that one of the ads is not only "disingenuous, but replete with outright lies, false, defamatory and destructive statements and downright fabrications which you fully know to be untrue." The letter calls out the Club's claim that Trump supports raising taxes, arguing the source for that claim is a gross exaggeration. The Club cited Trump's support in 1999 for a one-time 14.25 percent tax on individual net worth and trusts.

Glad to see so many still here from 98-2005. I signed up in 2001, when I saw it on Drudge IIRC. I was 1 FELLOW FREEPER.I changed my name in 05. We sure had some heated debates way back when. Some great ones too.
When I registered, I was late to the party. There were many a year or more before me. I believe its roots were in a bulletin board at prodigy.
I found the site via Drudge. It was great to be able to have conversations without liberals.
I attended the Rally in DC. During that time I became very cynical since seeing Clinton skirt so many things.
“Oh, and by the way, please destroy the media while you’re at it Mr. Trump. “
I think you will find that they are part of the “countless groups” category!
The whole matter of “buying access to government” by big corporations and well-heeled people needs a big a$$ed fix. They could “remake the movie “The Distinguished Gentleman,” and use real Congressmen and Senators.
“Dick” Dodge could be played by John Boner or perhaps Bitch.
Vitriol: violent hate and anger expressed through severe criticism
My, my. Sounds like your guy is losing in the pols.
Oh yeah, forgot to point this out. CFG met with Trump earlier this year. After the meeting they sent him a letter asking for $1,000,000 donation. He told them... for what... go pound sand.
Since that they have had a hard on for him like there is no tomorrow.
CFG = Pay to play. For sale. Prostitutes. Whores.
FILTHY STINKING DIRTY PAY ME FOR SOME LOVING WHORES!!
The Freeper ‘W’ started in December ‘97
There are a few others
Salem Communications owned Twitchy claims this letter has backfired. Salem is completely in the tank with the GOPe, so sad to see these formerly conservative (now owned by Salem) sites turned lefty (HotAir, TowhHall).
No it’s brilliant, because people will read the letter, plus these idiots at C for Growth, might actually cease.
They’re wasting a million dollars attacking Trump when the money could be used to prop someone up.
STupid. Stupidity abounds.
” I was part of the 2000 Recount crowd.”
Apparently, that is when I signed up too. My date is 2 days prior to yours : )
I came here through Drudge too. Read about how Notra Trulock was under attack by Clintonistas, and part of it was that he participated on FR. I knew where I had to be.
I love ya but I think you’ve got one of your phrase meanings wrong.

Sounds like you're ill-informed. My guy is gaining in the pols while your guy is losing points to a RINO with breasts.
So now you get to play the "n00b" card. ;)
Under a different name I came here for the 2000 election and the whole Bush v. Gore circus. That was insane— I still remember the mock of Gore-Lieberman to Sore-Loserman which I think started on here.
,Could have just ignored the group and said what he planned to do about actual issues facing our nation.You being the expert, is there some reason he can't do both? He sure has a lot of supporters for someone who's never said anything about "actual issues facing our nation".
The stupid party again...
This group is already attacking him—dishonestly.
Stomping on the First Amendent as an election tactic is unbecoming.

” Sore-Loserman which I think started on here.”
A classic!
