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.

Wow! I remember that too .. but my screen name has changed since then.
The Lewinsky affair is what breathed life into FR.
Time flies on FR. lol
I have ridden down Trump’s childhood streets (on Googlemaps.com). Very ordinary. Very all American.
Trump worked hard and learn the family business...and then used it to change the Manhattan skyline.
He has the smarts to change the DC skyline...and they are scared to death.
I heard Rush Limbaugh talking about them .. and then some of the FR people would call in to his program.
He didn’t think much of us at first .. but we grew up and threw out the idiots.
Except for the McCainiacs .. they were something else. They tried playing a game on us .. but we figured it out and turned it around on them .. and they scattered like rats.
Wait and see. You will be crying in your cheap beer.
Ditto - only I didn’t link from Drudge. Moved to FR when Michael Reagan’s site went downhill. There were several who did the same thing. FR didn’t require any kind of log-in originally, and 1997 is when Jim made that change.
Geeeee .. why would Trump want to do that .. then the left wouldn’t have anything to complain about.
I can see how Lewinsky would do that. It proved how completely morally bankrupt the Clintons were. And picking on a kid(Lewinsky) who is dumber than dirt just made it worse.
He said he went to communion as often as he could There are some churches who do not believe confession is part of the process (Catholics do ). His and my church believe in Grace. That Jesus died for our sins and knows even those we do not see That forgiveness was guaranteed by Jesus death and resurrection there is nothing man needs to do. But profess faith
Trump has been baptized and gone through confirmation. All that is necessary in his church and mine.
If you are judgemental we believe you will be forgiven too
How do you know so much about NYC?
Just curious?
.
What will I be crying about?
Prophecy is dangerous business.
NYC could go up in smoke and Trump’s record would still be all over everywhere.
Since Trump never APPOINTS judges, how could he own one ..??
My concern is that CFG owns a judge who will let Trump twist in the wind.
But it helps.
I am most certainly not a prophet...but I do trade stocks...and very successfully.
That means I have a rational grip on reality.
I make money at it.
But do you have a positive connection to reality?
Or are you slip-sliding away?
Come to the solid ground...we will help you.
I changed my name too. I signed on in Dec. 2000
Reread that and tell me what the heck you are saying.
And adding to post #120, how about “extortion” and “libel”.
Political ads tend to be the right to lie for or against anything. Let people say whatever and be subject to slander lawsuits.
Learn something every day. Was always impressed with the international posts. When the Chinese had our airplane FR was the only reliable source of informationWe used to read about it and discuss it here days before even Rush talked about it...Sadly, now it's posted here 10 times within minutes AFTER Rush talks about it.
