Anthrax hoaxer may be Free Republic poster

[meegbear]

The man arrested on Saturday for sending more than a dozen envelopes containing "fake anthrax" to anti-war celebrities, journalists, and politicians may have ties to the conservative supersite Free Republic, RAW STORY has found.

Chad Castagana, a 39 year old Californian named as the FBI's prime suspect in the case, is due in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles today, where procecutors are expected to file criminal complaint against him for sending threatening letters through the U.S. mail. Castagana has an extensive online history, often writing about science fiction and conservative politics, and many bloggers are convinced that he is also a contributor at the conservative activist Free Republic website under the name Marc Costanzo.

Earlier today, users at the liberal websites Democratic Underground and Daily Kos brought to light the similarities between Castagana's Internet footprint and Costanzo's writings at Free Republic, and RAW STORY has found a series of eyebrow-raising connections between the two men.

In one Free Republic post, Costanzo contends that he hails from the town of Woodlands Hills; the same city where Castagana was arrested.

[hippiechick]

:evilgrin:

[BushOut06]

3. Stupid is as stupid does

Awesome. No good bunch of ludderheads.

[Gregorian]

4. Hey agent Mike, you're in the wrong forum.

By the way, didn't Tony Snow used to post at FR?

[nam78_two]

5. Terra Terra Terra-Oh wait-against lefties?

They deserve to die and take San Fransisco with them :sarcasm:

[Haole Girl]

6. Why does this not surprise me...

:eyes:

[Kingshakabobo]

7. Now that Dems are back in power.........

.......I think it would be prudent for federal buildings, abortion clinics and gay establishments to double their security...

The scurvy little fascists will be seething with hatred while committing acts of violence.

[AspenRose]

35. Civil Rights Organizations too

Southern Poverty Law Center, ACLU chapters, NAACP chapters, etc.

[Sweet Freedom]

8. I wonder if KO knows? /nt

[RamboLiberal]

28. I bet one of KO's producers or staff checks out DU

we do provide some hot stories here and many nights what I see on DU I will see pop up on KO's show.

[AspenRose]

36. Didn't KO get fake anthrax?

Just sayin'....

[Anakin Skywalker]

38. I Can Provide Them w/ Some Hot Pictures Too If They Want.

:)

[LynneSin]

9. Oops, I guess this guy is screwn

You know, as much as I don't like Bush and the repukes, I could never be so harsh to do shit like this.

[joefree1]

10. When will we see pictures?

I want to know if I've seen him at any of our protests here. Wonder how many freeper counter protests he has attended? Is he perhaps a "Protest Warrior? Bet this story will take some turns.

Stay tuned.

[deutsey]

11. He is so screwn.

:evilgrin:

[populistdriven]

40. LOL!

:rofl:
that will never get old~!

[jobycom]

12. There but by the grace of God goes Bush.

The only real difference between this deadbeat 39 yo failure living off his parents and acquiring criminal records and Bush is that Bush's family was richer so he could mooch more. Oh yeah, and Bush's family got him out of his legal troubles.

[Divine Discontent]

13. I am THRILLED

they caught this repug SOB who thought it was FUNNY to harrass people with threats and powder in envelopes... YAY! I think he's gonna get about 10 yrs in prison, right????????/

14. Free Republic = Domestic Terrorism Supporters

They love McVeigh who would have been one of their own.

No surprise here.

Someone has Got to get this posted over there. Make RimJob go ballistic for the ten seconds it's up.

[VegasWolf]

15. This is the FReek poster who said, "This is hugh, I'm series!" nt

[yellowcanine]

16. Freeper site won't come up. Guess it is jammed from rubbernecking on the internet highway.

Something about a crash just makes you want to slow down and stare.

[KansDem]

17. Not anymore...

Anthrax hoaxer may be Free Republic poster

Virtually impossible to post to a site that's no longer there...

[depakid]

22. It's still there and still twisted and delusional

Along with being a lame board design.

[KansDem]

33. You know, I've "lurked" there a few times...

And I've found it rather cumbersome to navigate. Perhaps I needed to "study" the layout more, but I could never quite follow who is replying to whom. I saw only a hodgepodge of posts with no clear connection.

[Doctor_J]

18. I think it's been confirmed. See some of the many threads

FR is a breeding ground for extremism, just like hate radio.

[greeneggs708]

19. And If He Shops At Walmart

We should ban Walmart.

I am no fan of the Free Republic

But C'mon. What if a DU poster rapes a five year old. We would all be guilty.

Quit looking for stories.

[VegasWolf]

20. Difference. Free Republic is an extremist hate site. It attracts clowns

like this guy.

[tabasco]

23. It is a political website and this was an act of political terrorism.

Do you know how many millions of people shop at Wal-Mart, compared to the number of idiots at Freak Republic?

Your logic sounds like freeper logic to me.

Deflecting attention from the cesspool of terrorism and hate that exists there.

[meegbear]

27. And when the tsunami hit in December 2004 ...

some dipshit here posted a tinfoil hat theory about a tsunami machine causing it. The media and RW sites, like FR, was all over this site, saying that post represented everyone.

What's sauce for the goose ...

and :party: WELCOME ABOARD!! :party:

[MrPrax]

29. Right!!1!! ON1!!1!

OWNGE!!!1!!!


Welcome to DU :hi:

(BTW your nickname...was 708 the telephone exchange where you finally finished Seuss's masterwork Green, Eggs and Ham?)

[FredScuttle]

30. Show me the DU poster who has raped a 5 year old and I'll agree

Our hands are clean. Its the Freepers who have to explain a domestic terrorist in their midst. Fuck the lot of them.

[ret5hd]

34. MUCH more apt to find child molesters OVER THERE:

(think you can make a comparable list of Dems? Go ahead, give it your best shot)

Republican County Commissioner David Swartz pleaded guilty to molesting two girls under the age of 11 and was sentenced to 8 years in prison.


Republican judge Mark Pazuhanich pleaded no contest to fondling a 10-year old girl and was sentenced to 10 years probation. Of course it's no contest! How could he even get a fair fight against those activist judges!


Republican anti-abortion activist Nicholas Morency pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography on his computer and offering a bounty to anybody who murders an abortion doctor. - That's the culture of life we all know and love!

Republican Mayor Philip Giordano serving a 37-year sentence for sexually abusing 8- and 10-year old girls.


Republican campaign consultant Tom Shortridge sentenced to 3 years probation for taking nude photographs of a 15-year old girl. I'm sure he had a good explanation.


Republican racist pedophile and esteemed US Senator Strom Thurmond fathered a chiled with a 15-year old black girl.


Republican pastor Mike Hintz, whom George W. Bush commended during the 2004 presidential campaign, surrendered to police after admitting to sexual relations with a juvenile. Praise George!

Republican fundraiser Richard A. Delgaudio found guilty of child porn charges and paying two teenage girls to pose for sexual photos.


Republican activist Mark A. Grethen convicted on 6counts of child sex crimes.

Republican Congressman Dan Crane had sex with a female minor working as a congressional page.


Republican activist and Christian Coalition leader Beverly Russell admitted to an incestuous relationship with his step daughter. Prai$e the lord!


Republican governor Arnold Schwarzenegger allegedly had sex with a 16 year old girl when he was 28. I love this country!


Republican congressman and anti-gay activist Robert Bauman was charged with having sex with a 16-year-old boy he picked up at a gay bar. Now I'm sure he can give us a good explanation for this.


Republican Committee Chairman Jeffrey Patti was arrested for distributing a video clip of a 5-year-old girl being raped. Obviously a liberal conspiracy!


Republican activist Marty Glickman (a.k.a. "Republican Marty"), was taken into custody by Florida police on four counts of unlawful sexual activity with an underage girl and one count of delivering the drug LSD. He was obviously trying to help this woman! Do you liberals no shame!


Republican legislative aide Howard L. Brooks was charged with molesting a 12-year old boy and possession of child pornography. Look! It was his own son. Geez you liberals are SICK!


Republican Senate candidate John Hathaway accused of having sex with his 12-year old baby sitter and withdrew his candidacy after the allegations were reported in the media. He was trying to explain to her what NOT to do when in a difficult situation!


Republican preacher Stephen White, who demanded a return to traditional values, was sentenced to jail after offering $20 to a 14-year-old boy for permission to perform oral sex on him.


Republican talk show host Jon Matthews pleaded guilty to exposing his genitals to an 11 year old girl. She could have turned away.


Republican anti-gay activist Earl "Butch" Kimmerling was sentenced to 40 years in prison for molesting an 8-year old girl after he attempted to stop a gay couple from adopting her. Liberal jury of course.


Republican Party leader Paul Ingram pleaded guilty to six counts of raping his daughters and served 14 years in federal prison. Now how could anyone rape their daughter 6 times! Can you say Liberal psycologist!


Republican election board official Kevin Coan was sentenced to two years probation for soliciting sex over the internet from a 14-year old girl. Obviously set up by a liberal computer hacker. These hackers no NO SHAME!


Republican politician Andrew Buhr was charged with two counts of first degree sodomy with a 13-year old boy. What's sodomy?


Republican politician Keith Westmoreland was arrested on seven felony counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition to girls under the age of 16 (i.e. exposing himself to children). You see, actually he happened to be changing out of his bathing suit when these kids walked by.


Republican anti-abortion activist John Allen Burt was charged with sexual misconduct involving a 15-year old girl.


Republican County Councilman Keola Childs pleaded guilty to molesting a male child. He pleaded guilty only to keep his family out of the liberal media's spotlight.


Republican activist John Butler was charged with criminal sexual assault on a teenage girl. She was eighTEEN. That's still a teenager!


Republican candidate Richard Gardner admitted to molesting his two daughters. He only had their interests in mind. Why don't you liberals see that!


Republican Councilman and former Marine Jack W. Gardner was convicted of molesting a 13-year old girl. No comment.


Republican County Commissioner Merrill Robert Barter pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual contact and assault on a teenage boy. That boy was a liberal trying to corrupt his mind. He did the right thing.


Republican City Councilman Fred C. Smeltzer, Jr. pleaded no contest to raping a 15 year-old girl and served 6-months in prison. He did the honorable thing and did his time.


Republican activist Parker J. Bena pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography on his home computer and was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and fined $18,000. Lies. Lies! All liberal lies!


Republican parole board officer and former Colorado state representative, Larry Jack Schwarz, was fired after child pornography was found in his possession. Obviously set up by that liberal media!


Republican strategist and Citadel Military College graduate Robin Vanderwall was convicted in Virginia on five counts of soliciting sex from boys and girls over the internet. Who said republicans were sexist!


Republican city councilman Mark Harris, who is described as a "good military man" and "church goer," was convicted of repeatedly having sex with an 11-year-old girl and sentenced to 12 years in prison. If you do the crime, you do the time + 1.


Republican businessman Jon Grunseth withdrew his candidacy for Minnesota governor after allegations surfaced that he went swimming in the nude with four underage girls, including his daughter. He just wanted to keep an eye out for those girls...and his daughter. He even had pictures to prove it!


Republican director of the "Young Republican Federation" Nicholas Elizondo molested his 6-year old daughter and was sentenced to six years in prison. He LOVED that girl.


Republican benefactor of conservative Christian groups, Richard A. Dasen Sr., was charged with rape for allegedly paying a 15-year old girl for sex. Dasen, 62, who is married with grown children and several grandchildren, has allegedly told police that over the past decade he paid more than $1 million to have sex with a large number of young women. Philanthrapy at it's finest!

And so, now we know. The man who sent fake anthrax to American citizens, to members of Congress and television personalities, was one of you: your "marc costanzo" aka Chad Castagana. Thank you for proving the left blogosphere's point about you people. You are cowards. Bullies. Little chicken babies, and you cannot function without fear and intimidation, and emulating the terrorist boogeyman without whom neoconservatism cannot function. A pox on you all. Cowards.
