I had asked Bobby for his permission to post this editorial and he asked me to only provide the first two paragraphs with the link which is why I didn't post the entire article.

Can you ask the Admin Moderator to remove the article so that people will visit GOPUSA to read the entire article? We need to support GOPUSA!

Thanks!

I guess this particular article was not the poster child for unnecessary excerpting. Excerpting is running rampant on FR and it is annoying. You'll know how really annoying it is 6 months to a year from now when you want to go back and look at a particular article and find that it was only excerpted and the original article at the publication's website has been removed.

I support GOPUSA and will probably be signing my local Republican Party to use one of their offered services. But I think that GOPUSA should support Free Republic and welcome more than just two paragraphs to be excerpted here. If GOPUSA can ask for special treatment, why can't any other publication? And then, before you know it, FR loses one of its primary features - the permanent archival of articles from various publications along with the comments made about those articles at the time of publication.

So, while I agree that GOPUSA should be supported and that this particular thread was not the best thread to get upset about unnecessary excerpting, I still think the excerpting was unnecessary here and that the entire article should have been posted and that Eberle should have welcomed the entire article to be posted.
