YOU PEOPLE ARE AT IT AGAIN He first started achieving major public notoriety in early 2007 when he made complaints of harassment at Columbia University against students who allegedly called him a baby killer for being in the military No he first made his complaints in early 2006 This gained him attention at Columbia Then he wrote articles for a student newspaper a military newspaper and on some right wing blogs That got him noticed by national right wing media i e Fox News In late 2006 left wing students publicized his pornography background It was largely ignored Then he got the CPAC award on the same day that Ann Coulter made her comment about John Edwards That caused the gay blogs to dig up what had been reported in late 06 The story of CPAC applauding Coulter while honoring a gay porn star and hooked spread to non gay liberal blogs and then to MSNBC s Countdown That s how it became a national story In the ensuing controversy it became public knowledge that Sanchez himself had been a performer in homosexual bisexual 4 adult films in the early 1990s The story became popular in the blogosphere especially among homosexual bloggers who insinuated rumors about the details of Sanchez s past Sanchez appears in 38 gay porn movies About 15 of them are originals the rest re compilations Of the 38 videos one is titled Bi Conflict but in that video Sanchez performs homosexual acts Sanchez has never had anything other than gay sex on film These are not homosexual bisexual films He is a gay porn actor who appeared in gay porn films for gay viewers There has been no insinuation of rumors Rather there has been reporting of solid evidence Sanchez prostituted under the name Excellent Top between 1999 and 2002 and operated the No Regrets Massage service a front for prostitution in 2004 He directly admitted prostitution in an appearance on the Alan Colmes show on March 8 2007 and in an article published the same day on Salon com Sanchez revealed that Countdown never bothered to contact him before running the television report Countdown sourced several gay blogs to complete the report as well as committed left wing ideologue Max Blumenthal who claimed that Sanchez was apart of a greater an underground railroad for fallen gay right wingers Calling Bluemental a committed left wing ideologue is straight out of an O Reilly Factor script It is an outrageous violation of Wikipedia s purported neutrality So is saying that Sanchez revealed that Countdown never bothered to contact him Critics charge that Sanchez has given conflicting statements about rumors from anonymous bloggers The use of the phrase rumors from anonymous bloggers is straight out of an O Reilly Factor an is an outraegous violation of Wikipedia s purported neutrality First off they are not rumors Remember the so called rumors have proven true Secondly most bloggers are anonymous This does not by itself indict them or the information they provide any more than a newspaper story without a byline indicts the newspaper that prints it In an op ed piece in Salon com Sanchez likened porn to prostitution he subsequently said he wanted to draw that same analogy on his first appearances on Colmes Radio show 24 First off whatever he claimed that he had wanted to do on Colmes is immaterial The Colmes interview stands on its own Secondly he made the claim about what he wanted to do on a blog But this time it was on a right wing ex gay blog Since when does Wikipedia elevation right wing ex gay blogs to a superior status Some neutrality you people show A later report by the same writer appeared on April 1 2007 indicating that Sanchez was also being investigated by the Marine Corps for fraudulently soliciting funds from two organizations the United War Veteran s Council and U Haul in order to fund a deployment to Iraq which he never actually made Sanchez has denied the charges saying that he never collected money from either organization 25 Excuse me but Sanchez s denial of fraudulent solicitation is a non denial In fact Sanchez admitted soliciting the money Whether or not he collected it has no bearing on whether or not he solicited it Those are two separate issues Extortion doesn t have to succeed to be extortion There is a larger point to be made here which is that Sanchez s various explataions have been a circus of multi contradictions It is not neutral to split the difference Facts are neutral So report the facts How hard is it to report the facts
