A lot of investigative googling done by left-wing bloggers are pointing out that he is likely posting on conservative supersite Free Republic under the pseudonym Marc Costanzo. Story here, link to the Marc Costanzo Free Rebublic bio here.

California man arrested for mail threats to celebs

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A California man suspected of mailing threatening letters containing a suspicious white powder to celebrities and U.S. politicians has been arrested and could face federal charges on Monday, the FBI said.

Investigators identified Chad Castagana, 39, of Woodland Hills, California, as the person suspected of sending more than a dozen threatening letters to media outlets and the homes of public figures in various cities, the FBI said in a statement on Sunday evening.

According to a federal search warrant, among those who received threatening letters were Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show;" talk show host David Letterman; Keith Olbermann of MSNBC; Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, who is set to become Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, both Democrats.

The document, filed on Friday in United States District Court in Los Angeles, said multiple people in various cities, including New York and San Francisco, received letters over the past three months that contained an unknown white powder and various written threats.

In some cases, the threatening letters included expressions such as "Death to Demagogues" and references to Alan Berg, a Jewish talk radio host murdered by white supremacists in Denver in 1984, the document said.

Tests determined that the white powder sent in the letters was nonhazardous, the statement said.

Castagana was arrested on Saturday at his home and was expected to make an initial appearance in federal court on Monday, the statement said.

In 2001, powdery Anthrax spores sent in letters to news organizations and government offices in Florida, Washington and elsewhere killed five people and made at least 17 people ill. Those case have not been solved.

Uh-oh. All other right-wingers must be exactly alike.

No, this is common right-wing "nut" quality activity. I guess it's better than assasinating someone. You know, with dems in power now, this will open up a greater threat level since the right is where all the violent nut-jobs are! Hell, some on this very forum qualify as those kinds of nuts. Wouldn't be surprised to hear of one of our psycho neocon nutbag forum members having done something crazy to a Dem leader.

Perhaps some other things could be said about this story that are more important that being on the defensive and covering your own butt?

For example:

1) What a terrible bastard.
2) I condemn his actions, as should all honorable conservatives.

He sent a nonhazardous substance with some death threats. He was arrested, he has issues, who cares. He is obviously not part of "honorable conservatives" and his actions are wrong whether conservative or lib, so no condemnation is needed. If some liberal nut sent the same thing to conservative leaders I'd say the same thing. I wouldn't demand an apology from you libs. We know all Dems wouldn't want to kill conservatives, just as all Reps don't want to kill liberals. This thread is lame.

But honestly, WHICH of the two parties are known for their violent protests/actions? You'd be hard up to find a democrat (let alone hard-core liberal) who has done crazy chit like this. Liberals simply use their heads more.

I'm certainly not demanding an apology.

There are many ways to react, I find it interesting to watch exactly how people respond to this sort of news.

One could argue that this fake anthrax-nutcase has killed less people than Janet Reno & ATF has.

BIll Clinton ( Vince Foster) , Gary Condit ( Chandra Levy), Ted Kennedy ( Mary Jo Kopechne ), I am sure there are more, only difference is, these liberals were never punished for their crimes. So please, don't tell me conservatives are the only ones prone to violence.

and lets not forget my personal favorite democratic liberal, Cynthia Mckinney, ( DC police officer she slapped the fuck out of, for not recognizing her as she walked passed the security checkpoint at the capital.)

Oh come on, you all know her, she is the one that begged for the 10 million dollars that Giuliani turned down from the prince of Saudia Arabia after the prince suggested that the 911 attacks were caused by the US. A true liberal icon.

I thought that if I was, as you say, 'covering my butt' that I, as a conservative, would automatically resort to a personal attack against you.
