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

your statement implies that they at one time WERE/ARE significant..they’re a little pi*sant website populated by small minds and feeble attempts at logic and fact.

Oh, but you miss the point. They ARE significant. Significantly funny, hilarious and stupid. They're just not numerically or logically significant.

Per HotAir, all 3 (Dean, the Gov, and Brownback) have denied the conversation.

Some lowly staffer is going to en up take this hit for this ‘situation’.

So they're asking us to not repeat what was said on a radio report? Are they not violating that rule themselves by mentioning it in their letter, and then again when they mention it in court?

KING ARTHUR: How can we not say the word, if you don’t tell us what it is?

TALL KNIGHT (cringing in fear): You said it again!

KING ARTHUR: What, "is"?

TALL KNIGHT (dismissively): No, no ... not "is"!

OTHER KNIGHTS: Not "is"! Not "is"!

Suddenly singing is heard from deep in the forest.

SIR ROBIN'S SINGERS: Bravely good Sir Robin was not at all afraid
to have his eyeballs skewered...

TALL KNIGHT (irritated): "Is" is all right ... You wouldn't get far not saying "Is"!

BEDEVERE: My liege, it's Sir Robin!

TALL KNIGHT (covering his ears):You've said the word again!

SIR ROBIN and his SINGERS appear in the clearing. The SINGERS are going on cheerfully as usual and ROBIN walks in front of them, continually embarrassed at their presence.

SINGERS: ... and his kidneys burnt and his nipples skewered off ...

SIR ROBIN holds his hand up for silence.

KING ARTHUR: Sir Robin!

(He shakes his hand warmly)

SIR ROBIN: My liege! It's good to have found you again ...

TALL KNIGHT: Now he's said the word!

KING ARTHUR: Where are you going good Sir Robin?

ROBIN'S SINGERS (starting up again): He was going home ... he was giving up, He was throwing in the sponge.

SIR ROBIN (to SINGERS): Shut up! No ... er ... no ... I ... er ... I ... er ... I certainly wasn't giving up ... I was actually looking for the grail ... er thing ... in this forest.

KING ARTHUR: No ... it lies beyond this forest.

TALL KNIGHT: Stop saying the word!

OTHER KNIGHTS: Stop saying the word! The word we cannot hear! The word ...

KING ARTHUR (losing his patience with the fearful KNIGHTS OF NI): Oh, stop it!

(Terrific confusion amongst the KNIGHTS OF NI, they roll on the ground covering their ears. The TALL KNIGHT remains standing trying to control his MEN.)

OTHER KNIGHTS: They're all saying the word ...

TALL KNIGHT: Stop saying it. AAAArghh! ... I've said it ...

OTHER KNIGHTS: You've said it! Aaaaarghhh! ... We've said it ... We're all saying it.

Dummieland is back up...

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?

Ding, ding, ding... we have a winnah!

They've denied a conversation. We'll have to read between the parsing.

And furthermore, lurking DUmmies, if they get control of you and me, you will no longer be significant.

They're significant??

Hey Txroadkill,
Thanks. I had not heard that.
Man what a shocker THAT is.
You mean that “DNC CHAIRMAN, GOV.HOWARD DEAN CALLED
GOV.KATHLEEN SEBELIUS (D-KANSAS)AROUND 5:00AM ON THE MORNING AFTER THE TORNADO DESTROYED THE TOWN OF GREENSBURG, KANSAS AND DISCUSSED WITH HER 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.”

Politicizing the war is a low class thing to do, dont you think>
Only a Democrat could do such a thing.
I bet they hope it does not get out that they did that. Huh?

Talking out loud.............Osama Obama "misspeaks", and says in a speech.........10,000 died.................( I heard that number during "Katrina)".......Ok...... Dr .Demento + Gov. Sebelis have a conversation(allegedly)"discussed with her 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.”.ok........( hmmmm heard that with "Katrina")

Naw... no way the Dems would repeat that strategy.

Heck, if they were that stupid they would be telling us the WOT is just like Viet Nam!.......... Oh.......... wait.......

The letters ‘DNC’ always gives me the creeps when I see it. If I was an organization, I don’t think I’d cotton having our initials the same as scraping the lining of a uterus...DNC.

After thought. I know it’s a D&C but everyone calls it a DNC.

I can’t believe an attorney actually signed his name to this letter.

Too funny.
