Olbermans anthrax hoaxer a free republic poster?
This is some pub the freepers dont need. I hope this wasnt already posted.


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.

1. This won't get the exposure it deserves, will it?
If this had been a liberal blogger, and the targets were conservatives there would be howling at the moon for weeks....

2. So, I guess Dick Cheney is listening in on all Freeper phone calls?
Them having known links to terrorism and all.

Can we lock the Freepers up in those shiny, new detention centers?

3. "I hope this wasnt already posted." ???
Since your post goes on to state that "(e)arlier today, users at the liberal websites Democratic Underground and Daily Kos brought to light the similarities...," it's a pretty safe bet that it has been posted, don'tcha think?

:crazy:

7. Well, it looks like Rimjob and the Freepers better get lawyered-up.
Damn big city trial lawyers!

I wonder if they're gonna ask The ACLU to help protect the privacy of their subscribers?

Oh, wait.

They believe that you don't have anything to worry about, if you have nothing to hide.

I'm sure, then, that Free Republic has already given their entire database and all their records to The FBI, with a pretty red ribbon on top.

I mean, wouldn't it be un-patriotic for Free Republic not to fully cooperate in a matter of National Security?

"Privacy" is something that only terrorists and Liberals worry about!
