In order to prevent violations of copyright laws, DU limits posts to about 4 paragraphs of quoted material.

The Washington Post is a respectable news outlet and if you don't want to pay them, sorry but it's their content.

Incidentally, there are several ways to get around paywalls that are not illegal. Do a little research to find them.

Many news sites have paywalls: The NY Times, The Daily Beast, Talking Points Memo and Mother Jones are but a few and none of those are "RepubliCON" owned.

Basically, these sites are in business and need to charge for their content. The costs are quite modest if you consider the time one spends reading the news. Did you ever buy a newspaper or a magazine? You had to pay for it, right?

Although DU is a free site, if you throw them a few bucks, you'll enjoy the experience a bit more without the ads and such.
