Good call on the edit, Ernest. We don't want the jailed mass murderer to call Dave on copyright infringement.
How would this not easily fall under Fair Use? This was a political candidate for statewide office who wrote a manifesto intended for wide, free non-commercial distribution. Reproducing his text does not cause any damages or financial loss to him.
Wouldn't you assume that his intent here is to maximize the distribution of the ideas he presented, and that he would want this information widely disseminated? Does it make any logical sense that anyone would, never mind could, sue over this?
As I (and Dave) have said numerous times, the main issue is not somebody suing; it's Google taking away ad revenue from the site for copyright violations.
