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

You really gotta laugh at them. The filth and vitrol on KOS and DU meet the grade for “hate crime” status. And if anyone on the right criticizes their speech, it’s abject hysteria for the response.

What a bunch of babies. Litigate your candidates into office and your enemies into silence.

BTW, under their standard Michael Moore ought to be serving 5 years in PMITA federal prision.

Unless FR says this letter is true and real, I posted this on another thread

http://a9.g.akamai.net/7/9/8082/v001/democratic1.download.akamai.com/8082/pdfs/20070510_freepletter.pdf

not exactly coming from where the letter was “purported” to have originated - notice “freepletter.pdf”..not something an attorney would put on there. Also, they would have it delivered by courier or service messenger, NOT sent via e-mail. Notice also that the letter is “signed” with an illegible signature and NO title..

I might be wrong, but I call BS on the letter. Someone out there thought this would be funny. Maybe we can seriously trace this thing back to the originator.

“The Democrats as a party have been libeling and slandering President Bush with impunity for years. Perhaps the RNC should start slapping them with C&Ds”

If they did that and the dems obeyed, both the dems and the old media would be silent and the alphabet news services would be hours of dead air.

How in the world can DU continue to say the dumbest and most obscene things, yet no one threatens them like this. DNC needs to soak their own backyard with Clorox before they start coming over here.

Has anyone working closely to Gov Sebelius or Dean suddenly quit realizing they need more time with their family?

Their fax to Quinn & Rose.

It's really a letter to XM and not directly addressed to Quinn & Rose. I emailed Jim Quinn about this earlier this morning and he just responded back to me indicating that he had not seen such a letter from the DNC attorney.

This just demonstrates that the DNC is fearful of FreeRepublic. As they should be!

You know, I find it hard to believe this was actually written by an attorney. It’s amateurish.

I just received an email from Jim Quinn of the Quinn & Rose show. He write of the DNC response, "FUNNY. THEY HAVEN'T CONTACTED US."

Aha...interesting! It strengthens my suspicion that the Sandler letter is a fake.
