Liberal blog claims "fake anthrax" mailer is a Freeper (Also DUer see post 14)

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.

I just saw this one a few minutes ago. Pretty serious accusation. If not true, he should sue.

I saw a reference to anthrax/powder when I signed on to internet (top story of AOL). I searched and found this story on Google and emailed info about it to marc costanzo (not realizing at that point it was posted). Pretty serious accusation of the Kos & DU nuts.

Never cite proof when speculation is so much easier to come by.

Radar comes right and SAYS they are they same person (with no proof besides the rantings of the lefties at Wonkette via DU & Kos): http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2006/11/even-more-on-pelosis-powder-stalker.php

"A frequent commentor on Democratic Underground, Castagna was also a regular on the right-wing message board Free Republic under the nom de rant, Marc Costanzo."

His tag line is "Name your poison". Rather ironic
