"Oh, the President Said It. Well, in That Case,.. No Wait."

From Ed Gillespie, chairman, Republican National Committee,

Dear President Greene:

It has been brought to the attention of the Republican National Committee &mdash and was confirmed in the Los Angeles Times yesterday &mdash that your organization is sponsoring and promoting a false and misleading Internet campaign designed to scare America's youth into believing that they may be drafted to serve in the military.

In light of the above..., the only conclusion to be drawn is that your Rock the Vote "Draft Your Friends" campaign is being conducting (sic) with malicious intent and a reckless disregard for the truth. As a "non-partisan" organization that enjoys the benefits of being formed under 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, you have an obligation to immediately cease and desist from promoting or conducting your "Draft" campaign.

...

It is unfortunate that you feel the need to engage in a misinformation campaign regarding an alleged draft to energize your voters. This is the sort of malicious political deception that is likely to increase voter cynicism and in fact decrease the youth vote, as well as raising serious legal issues regarding the political motivations of your efforts.

Excerpt from an interview with Jehmu Greene on the Rock the Vote Web site:

Amy Goodman: "Are you afraid of being legally threatened?"

Jehmu Greene: "We are..."

Excuse me, President Greene. I'll handle this one. Amy.... Can I call you "Amy"? Amy, a man who goes through high school with a name like Jehmu doesn't scare easily. Once you've had the Wet Willies, Rear Admirals, red rubber balls to the cheeks and jowls, and wedgies (atomic and otherwise) that that name attracts, mildly intimidating letters from the GOP don't even flash a blip on the Threat Radar. Now, had Ed threatened Jehmu with a Swirlie, ....

Jehmu? Jehmu, come back! It was only an example!
