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 hope moveon took the trouble to try and make this story disappear. It only gives it more credence and it will explode on the internet now.

Dumba$$es.

So instead of going to the press and releasing a statement disavowing this they are going the Stalin and the Nazi SS route. I hope Jim C Robinson tells them to prove it.

Let’s write him and ask if we can talk directly in person with Howard Dean in order to “clear this up”. After all, they seem to be upset that we didn’t go to Howard and ask him what he said.

Its an attempt to flush out the leak. Someone will have give the source or go to jail.

When they get their panties in this much of a wad, it makes it sound like there may be something to the Sebelius/Dean story after all.

You know, repressing anger is bad for you. Perhaps you should stop using such polite language and tell them what you really feel.

How many posts are there on FR each day? Ten thousand? Fifty thousand? I have no idea. And the DNC expects Jim Robinson and the mods to personally vet each post for accuracy and fairness?

It’s the same liberal tactic always used to shut people up: KILL THE MESSENGER.

I agree. The DNC is attempting to squash this in it’s infancy before the MSM is forced to actually report on this against their DNC handlers.

Not to mention, the post was 100% accurate -- it was reporting was another media outlet (the Quinn and Rose Show) was saying, including a follow-up as to their faith in their source.
