Copyright restrictions from the Associated Press require all material from the Associated Press to be properly linked, attributed to the Associated Press and then excerpted prior to posting it on Free Republic as a thread or as a response in a thread. The full text article you posted had to be excerpted. This always applies even if you have recopied an AP article onto another site, such as your blog. Posting a full text screen image also doesn't work because you cannot excerpt a screen image and the screen image will have to be removed.

Instead of crediting the blog "Federalist Patriot" as the original publisher of the article, Associated Press had to be added to the source name. Also the name you used as the author of the article " BrianinMO" was not the Associated Press writer and that name had to be removed and replaced with Associated Press.
