A Free Republic poster writes that he's a regular reader who enjoys our views on a variety of issues. He writes that he's enjoyed our posts in which we use our skills as lawyers to weigh in on legal issues. He draws our attention to the cease-and-desist letter from an attorney representing the DNC to Free Republic. He asks whether the letter's threat of of a defamation claim is bona bide or not. In my view, the letter is sheer thuggery that recalls the same maneuever made on behalf of John Kerry in the 2004 campaign.
He writes that the attorney representing the DNC has sent two such cease-and-desist letter, one to him and one to XM Radio. The letters relate to his post headed "Howard Dean told Kansas Gov. Sebelius to Lie" in which relayed relayed something he heard earlier that morning on an XM talk radio show called The Quinn & Rose Show...
...We therefore associate ourselves with our reader's statements regarding Governor Dean and invite Mr. Sandler to sue us for defamation as he threatens to sue Free Republic. This is to put him and his client on notice, however, that we intend to seek our attorney's fees under federal law for the assertion of a frivolous claim if he does so.

So the DNC wishes to sling mud but when they perhaps get splattered it somehow is lawsuit worthy? Does this mean that President Bush can sue Dan Rather and CBS news over memogate?
If they wish to play hardball, it seems disingenous for our home grown surrender monkeys to complain when they get hit by apitch...
hey dnc... we FART in your general direction !!!
I believe the President could sue Dan Rather and CBS for libel. There is overwhelming evidence that what they reported was done with, at a minimum, a reckless disregard for the truth.
Way to go Powerline, give it to those scmucks @ DNC!
So friggin' sue me.
Heh Dean, DNC and your legal thugs - bwahahahahahahahahahaha, take that, you lousy losers!
As should the governor:
"I am outraged that the Quinn & Rose show has aired a report suggesting that my efforts to highlight the need to replace National Guard equipment lost in Iraq are inspired by anything other than my responsibilities as commander-in-chief of the Kansas National Guard. The accusation that I received a call from anyone, encouraging me to take on this issue following the devastating tornado in Greensburg, is one-hundred-percent false -- period. "Making up stories like this, designed to turn the tragedy at Greensburg into some kind of political circus, is a shameful affront to the citizens of Greensburg and the citizen soldiers of the National Guard."
Ms. Governor! Who's the one that stated the assets of the Kansas National Guard were very limited, because they were being used in Iraq? Maybe 20% of the equipment is being used in Iraq, but with 80% in state, what's the problem. Do private interests not have assets to help? Pure political BS Missed Governor!
If they go through with this suit, then Sebelius, Dean, and anyone else who might have information will be placed under oath (not that that means much to some Dims). They could face perjury charges.
Howard Dean is thief.
Sue me.
She denies that she “received a call” but I’ve heard that she was in Baton Rouge at the Democrat Mayors Conference...in person. Just sayin!
I have popcorn & beer.
Seems this would work against them by keeping this subject in the news. Seems they would just want it to go away.
