Power Line: DNC Cease and Decist Letters Are “Thuggery”

Just wanted to show you what some others are saying about the DNC Cease and Decist letters sent to Free Republic and XM Radio concerning allegations by Jim Quinn, nationally syndicated radio host. This comes from Power Line: “ The attorney who sent the letter on behalf of the DNC is attorney Joseph Sandler, representing the Democratic National Committee. In my view, Sandler is a thug representing a bunch of reprobates and bullies. ”

“My point is that the DNC letter threatening Free Republic with a defamation lawsuit on behalf of the Democratic National Committee is an act of thuggery, akin to the threats that faced Sinclair broadcasting at the end of the 2004 campaign. The DNC’s threat against Free Republic is not well grounded under the First Amendment and the DNC’s warm-up for the 2008 campaign should be stuffed now.”

These comments are similar to the sentiments expressed by myself and others posted in my original post on this topic and which was widely cited around the internet being one of the first posts made about the incident.
