From what I have read on this site, for fair use you can not post the entire article you can only posts snips of it.
Not trying to be a meanie or a rules lawyer, but I would hate to see the site go down over a stupid lawsuit, I bet edwards would jump at the chance.

You did the right thing. G-d bless our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. Included in those is the right to political commentary, and the reprint of such broadsides to make such commentary meaningful.

Copyright is a restricted GRANT, not a natural or absolute right. Despite the "right" in the word "copyright", it is a right created only by OUR grant, a right of grant under restrictions.

However the right to copy is a natural right, the right to comment about a copy in polital context is a natural ABSOLUTE right.

When there is a conflict between rights we grant, in our being as a sovereign goverment formed of representative agents, and the natural rights we retain individuals also sovereign -- why the ABSOLUTE right remarked and protected by the Bill of Rights by the individuals, or the States, must be given the higher weighing.
