“My understanding of “Breaking News” is that it is an unfolding event of national or internatinal significance. An opinion, column, analysis, review, blog, or local news report do no constitute “Breaking News.””

So are you afraid that because this is in breaking news it will get too much exposure and some of the sheeple will learn what is happening?

I'm not afraid of anything. I am concerned that certain Freepers seem to lack the ability to distinguish between what is truly breaking news and what amounts to someone's personal opinion or analysis or news that lacks a significant interest or impact beyond the the poster's neighborhood.

I agree that Obama is a Marxist, and I agree that Obama's political philosophy can arguably be characterized as news (at least to some people). But "breaking news" it is not -- at least not to anyone who has followed Obama's campaign from day one. In fact, if you do a Free Republic title search using the word "Marxist," then you will literally find dozens, if not hundreds of articles that have been posted over the last year that specifically concern Obama and his desire to turn our Country into a Marxist state. While this may have breaking news a year ago, it should no longer be breaking news to any self-respecting Freeper.
