GOP Suing Its Only Friends?

The GOP threatens Cafe Press with lawsuits for letting its users promote the GOP.

GOP: Good Old-fashioned Piracy

Hey Republicans! You’re doing it wrong! In the latest example of “just-not-getting-it”, the GOP is apparently threatening to sue CafePress for allowing its users to repurpose the various trademarked GOP images such as the red-white-and-blue elephant and the letters “GOP”. The irony, of course, being the preponderance of images that are IN FAVOR of the GOP. Why would you want to sue your free marketing team? They obviously don’t have any money, I mean, who buys anything from CafePress? Next thing you know, they’ll be suing kids for drawing pictures of Dumbo and reading Horton Hears a Who. Get a grip, GOP, your existing internal marketing people don’t seem to be doing you any favors, and getting lawyers involved isn’t likely to help.
