Observation from one of the little people:
FreeRepublic is a discussion forum not a news purveyor.
Wouldn't they be pleased to have their publications quoted, excerpted, linked or used in any way that furthers the reach of their written word? I thought news was all about informing the masses. Also, wouldn't someone who enjoys reading an excerpt from their publication be more inclined to subscribe? FreeRepublic is actually giving them free advertising. How ignorant of them not to enjoy the fruits of free promotion!
The only reason any of these publications should be upset is if what they are publishing is somehow dishonest and they don't want it dissected.

That'a a platitude for the common man. They don't actually believe it. Indoctrinating the masses is what it's all about

(Maybe Urban Outfitters should sell t-shirts that say "Voting Democrat is for Old Dead People.")
