TNR Critic Turns Out to Be Something of a Faker Himself

Aren't all republicans gay now?

What I find interesting is that they spend all this time on Scott Thomas, yet ignore the Tillman debacle. I'd love to see some good military blogging on that mess, but it somehow falls off their radar screen. Too busy watching gay porn and bilking little old ladies for their pretend deployments I guess...

Umm, I don't think Media Matters was "obsessed about obsessing over breast". It seemed pretty obvious that they were doing what they always do -- highlighting the ludicrous topics that the national media are themselves obsessed with, usually to the detriment of actual news.

Media Matters pointing out that national news outlets were obsessing about Clinton's boobs doesn't make MM obsessed with anything, other than shoddy "journalism" or more correctly, journamalism.

Maybe you could do some reporting about how this is ALWAYS the way the Radical Right reacts to stuff they don't like. Also you could, you know, point out that they GET AWAY WITH IT, time and time again. What price does Malkin have to pay for getting the reporter story wrong? Nothing, that's right.

But if Media Matters had gotten such a story wrong, I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that all we'd ever hear about them after that is that they 'don't have any credibility after being so wrong'. Funny how that never seems to affect the mouthpieces of the Radical Right.

That this guy has ethical and personal issues that take away from his credibility will not matter one iota to the Radical Right. And of course, if you bring it up to them (a la Guckert) they'll claim YOU'RE the one gay-bashing. Like the good Authoritarians that they are, they'll keep their eyes on the prize, in this case that Beauchamp lied or whatever the talking points of the day are.

But you can be sure that it will be Beauchamp who will end up being vilified further, rather than Sanchez getting any flak. Guaranteed.

Matt Sanchez's secret life as porn star Rod Majors/Pierre LaBranche was exposed months ago. A blogger recognized him from some of his movies (like Touched By An Anal), after which Sanchez admitted his past and attempted to claim victimization. Radar Online had a long article about him: http://radaronline.com/features/2007/03/matt_sanchez_1.php

Sanchez is the perfect spokesman for the repugs, if you think about it. He fits right in. They're the party of Mark Foley, Diaper Dave Vitter and Jeff Gannon now, not the party of Lincoln.

So, they're "allegations" according to the excerpt, yet Wonkette is calling him a "crook"? Maybe this site needs (among other things) an editor. How about someone who works for a junior high school paper? Someone of that age could relate to the posts.

I think you mean "the Scott Thomas affair, manufactured and sustained by wingnuts."

Shouldn't they be the ones being ridiculed for "obsessing?"

The Radar article quoted by Xeno is interesting.

Not sure how one can be in gay porn by adamantly deny being either gay or bisexual. "I'm not gay! I just had sex with other men!"

As usual, though, he didn't understand that the left pointing out he was in gay pr0n isn't the issue -- it's trying to hide that fact while working with a political party that hates gay people.

Weren't YOU obsessing over MM's obsessing over MSNBC's obsessing over breasts?

What? Untruths on the pages of The Weekly Standard? I am shocked, truly shocked. I mean writers for The Weekly Standard are on Meet The Press and Fox News all the time. How could this happen??????

Dahlia Lithwick is shocked too.

Matt Sanchez bio*, if anyone is interested. Looks like he's changed the target of his hustling from gays to right whingers...more money in it, I guess.

Oh, and TLB?...It was the USMC that said that Sanchez inappropriately solicited those funds**...Ana is accurate in her description. From the article:

"[Marine Corps Reserve Col. Charles] Jones wrote that Sanchez’s participation in porn films was part of the investigation, but that two of the three allegations against him involved lying 'to various people, including but not limited to, representatives of the New York City United War Veterans Council and U-Haul Corporation' about deploying to Iraq at the commandant’s request.

'Specifically, you wrongfully solicited funds to support your purported deployment to Iraq' by coordinating a $300 payment from the UWVC and $12,000 from U-Haul, Jones wrote."

What happens to Sanchez after this point is up to some Brigadier General...

Oh, and this counts as (yet another) rebuttal to your crap.

**http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2007/03/marine_sanchez_investigation070330/

Dirty Sanchez was a big time guest at CPAC. Malkin thought he cut a fine jib and and all that.

Ana - At what point will an intrepid reporter take it upon his/her self and print a story on the tendency for conservatives to associate themselves with deeply-closeted angry homosexuals and gay male prostitutes.

Sure, one might expect to see the topic broached when an actual gay male prostitute was discovered in the White House Press Corps after having been placed there by conservative leaders. [To this day no better metaphor has been devised to explain the lack of journalistic skepticism in the early Bush years.] And then there was Mark Foley, that preacher guy, Ken Mehlman, Scott McClellan, well, you get the picture. I am sure that there is a better list out there somewhere.

So what is going on here? Why are they so fixated and yet so hateful? To say that they are self-loathing of their own inner urges would be cliche but...

I think a column in the print version of Time magazine would go a long way to easy the pain of these torutred, conflicted, closeted Republicans, and once they are open and honest with themselves about their sexuality then they won't be reduced to selling their rump for rides or soliciting head in highway rest stops.

grape_crush: it's good to know that we no longer need defense attorneys, now that (per your wonderful mastery of our legal system) all allegations are true. Now if we can do something about PI attys, we'll be all set.

TLB is right. The liberal military establishment is just making those charges up to prevent Sanchez from telling the TRUTH that we are winning in Iraq. They made him be in gay porn for the same reason.

"Ana - At what point will an intrepid reporter take it upon his/her self and print a story on the tendency for conservatives to associate themselves with deeply-closeted angry homosexuals and gay male prostitutes. "

um, who do you think throws the best cocktail weenie festivals in DC? The dowdy first wives of congressmen from Missouri? No darling...its teh gays -- and if they ain't throwing them, they are advising Sally Quinn or the second (trophy) wives of Senators from the South on which caterer to use, who to get to do the florals, and who NOT to invite to the same party....

Dave Broder just wishes you all could just get along. He told me so at a potluck supper we had at our nearby church, where the chicken was freshly grilled, the mashed potatoes stacked high, and the tea sweet and fresh.

Show of hands, how many people are going to be surprised 20 years from now when Falwells former gay lover comes forward? Me niether. Ditto that male escort list with Rick Santorum and Sam Brownback on it.

So is the idea of prostitut - errrr - currying favor with the extreme elements of the psudeoconservatives to try and score a menage a trois with Limbaugh and Coulter - for the ultimate in gender identity confusion crisis?

Just say it.

A S S F U C K I N G.

Don't be such a corporate sellout.

It's not like Henry Luce didn't enjoy a bit of buttafucco with Claire every now and then.

TLB, the Marine Corps justice system isn't like the civilian one.

Besides, your side hasn't had much issue with calling people 'crooks' without the benefit of a guilty verdict* before, have they?

"Ana - At what point will an intrepid reporter take it upon his/her self and print a story on the tendency for conservatives to associate themselves with deeply-closeted angry homosexuals and gay male prostitutes."

Remember all the intrepid reporting about Jeff Gannon? Nuff said.

At this point is there any reason to not simply assume that all conservative men are either 1)gay, closeted and homophobic; 2)Cheating on his wife(either with prostitutes or future trophy wives); 3) Chickenhawks. It hard out there for a conservative...just ask archie stanson.

And finally, TLB, go to the Merriam-Webster dictionary*, type in 'crook', and click through the various definitions.

Tricky things, words.

Where can I find some of those films? I wanna see!

I thought democrats were all for gay porn as freedom of expression and a celebration of the "lifestyle". Shouldn't you all be venerating this guy?

What's stupid is that TNR's critics seized on the now very old Stephen Glass case in order to go after this story with no evidence. As if TNR's guard hasn't been well up ever since Glass. As if they'd make the same mistake again. It'd be like me barging into the new office of the CEO of Tyco and expecting to find that he's been doing everything Dennis Kozlowski did. Not gonna happen.

It's called "laughing at hypocracy" Anon. look it up. The republicans are obsesssed with regulating other people's sex lives and villifying gays, so this is great! Your probably one of those people who sided wit hTexas in the "Lawrence v. Texas" case.

I love the smell of republican hypocrisy in the morning. Geez - if you're authentically straight and monogamous, pretty soon the repubs won't want you in their Party - would upset their Party's "slant", if you get my drift.

You know archie, a liberal wouldn't have a problem being gay, so spoofing me to suggest that I am, is hardly the damning insult you think it is. I gave it a shot once, I sucked a dick...not my cup of tea. Sure, I prefer the back door too, however I don't seem to feel that way when the potential recipient is male. If I were so inclined, I would come out, and you know as well as I, my liberal friends and family would still love me and accept me. Could you say the same thing? Of course not. You have to bottle those feelings up, as well as the self-loathing you must feel due to your inability to muster the courage to enlist and fight for your country, in the way all you action movie heroes did. You have an image of what a 'real man' is supposed to look and act like, but you can't meet this criteria, and it tears at you deeply. This kind of pent up rage and self-hate is why so many conservative 'men' need to humiliate themselves(diapers) to attain any sexual satisfaction.

In conclusion: I'm not gay...not that there's anything wrong with that.

I meant to say:

In conclusion: I am gay...and there'e nothing wrong with that.

Sorry for the confusion.
See you all at the Pride Parade June 08!

Congrats on coming out. We welcome you into the community.

Thanx rmrd0000, I'm hung like a horse...you interested?

Just for the record...I AM NOT ARCH STANTON!

I can verify that he's not.

Thanx arch! You've given me the courage to come out! I like it when men use me like a toilet! When mommy used to bring dock workers home at night and made my daddy sleep on the couch, I used to sneak a peak at what they were doing. I have been sexually attracted to men ever since, I don't always wear diapers when I have sex though, but sometimes there is no substitute for wearing diapers, making in my diapers and then having a big strong man like Fred Thompson hold me and make me feel safe. What a man! The only woman I've ever been attracted to is Brownback girl, there's just something about her...yummy!

From here on out, we should just assume that all outspoken conservatives are secretly gay and/or involved in porn. It'll just save time.

well now i suppose a party that has been cornholing the american public for gettin' on 7 yrs now needs to turn to experts in the field of sodomy for guidance and direction. bravo, GOP.

Some guy - if you are in the SF Area call me - I want to see if you are as hung as you say you are.

If we play our cards right, some guy, maybe we can get Sanchez as well, so long as I get to be in the middle.

fluffy, cornholing is an anti-gay term, I prefer to say I'm being filled w/ Christ's love...and yes, I do felch myself afterwards. I spend about a $100 a month on those crazy bendy straws! Soooooo worth it though.

Some guy - if you are really good i'll break out my gerbils and we'll play Richard Gere!

Please can we ban these trolls? They are hurting my feelings and they are being homophobic and I am not down wit dat.

My god archie, is that the BEST you can do?

Obama and Hillary are on another thread discussing the wisdom of Nuclear first strikes (Hillary comes out in favor of the threat "remaining on the table") but everyone's over here celebrating Michelle Malkin's latest heroic downtrodden soldier who just happens to charge for his services.

No wonder our country's in trouble. Our priorities are screwed!

Here's a good example of conservative courage:

'Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.) ominously advised Thursday that Congress needed to pass changes to terrorist surveillance laws before leaving for the August recess and warned that otherwise “the disaster could be on our doorstep.
Further demonstrating his counterterrorism sagacity, when asked if people should leave Washington, D.C., during the month of August, Lott replied that "I think it would be good to leave town in August, and it would probably be good to stay out until September the 12th."

Who is Arch Stanton and who is Archie Stanton?

It strikes me there's two issues here - one being that The Weekly Standard story is thinly sourced - Sanchez was a Marine, and had no involvement with Beauchamp or his Army unit until his recent visit so how can he alone be at all substantive - and a separate issue about his veracity. On the former topic, it seems to me the issue rests with the Standard, not Sanchez. On the latter topic, I wrote about the Sanchez revelations on my blog (www.nycweboy.com) when they came out, and I've had the opportunity to correspond with Sanchez as a result. I don't agree with his politics, but some of this is simply too much - yes, he was in porn (and gay pron at that), but that's hardly a disqualifier for being able to comment knowledgeably on military issues as an ex-soldier, which he also is. Yes, porn and hooking are dicey professions of questionable morals, but the Scarlet Letter some people want to brand Sanchez with (including you, Ana, which makes me sad) seems out of line with the liberalism on issues like sex, sexuality and things like porn that I learned. Without knowing a lot about the financial allegations, I find it hard to believe that I man I talked to - who does have a certain fundamental decency to him - would deliberately bilk people out of money (and, a he's in Iraq now, I'd guess money given for that purpose might be being used for it). Yes, it's fun to chuckle about the pornstar and the tackiness of the industry and muse on Sanchez's own issues with discussing his sexuality. But using his history as a sex worker to impeach his ability in other areas seems as sexist and wrong as giving promiscuous women a hard time over being loose. He did it, he doesn't do it now, and he's done other thing. Tell me again why his porn career matters in this instance.

Here archie, is proof that once you've come out, the pressure on your brain eases and you are able to think once again. Example, Andrew Sullivan:

"What Americans want are the benefits of empire, without the work of empire. If you can't do the work, you shouldn't start."

"I find it hard to believe that I man I talked to - who does have a certain fundamental decency to him - would deliberately bilk people out of money"

Sounds like a lot of the descriptions of Ken Lay I heard a few years ago. So I take it he didn't hold you up when you met, or burglarize your apartment? I guess he's clean then.

His gay porn past is germane because he has aligned himself w/ the most rabidly anti-gay people in the country Its also relevant because if Matt Sanchez wants to start pointing his finger at others and accuse them of being dishonest, then he better be damn sure to be clean in the honesty department. He was not. He was called on it.

Now, tell us what a great guy Roy Cohn was.

Republicans hate gay people! (Except the ones who don't, but they're not really Republicans.)

You mean Republicans hate arch stanton?
That's not nice.

As a member of PETA I demand that arch stanton refrains from further gereing any other gerbils because they have feelings too.

Paging Lindsey Graham, pink courtesy phone, Lindsey Graham...

it strikes me there is only one issue here - and that is:
a n a l s e x. i seem to recall the goppers were delighted when the sup crt upheld the criminalizing thereof. (no cornhole subsidies, just corn ones). well, the goppies now have to simultaneously embrace and denounce the same handy b u t t-loving ideo-pawn. that's going to require some kind of lube work to pull off. yark.

sorry to be so unserious, but look around: the wingnuts and the embedded sodomite; boehner's fisa boner; bush asking that fredo now get MORE secret powers; Larry King whupping Grandpa Cheney on the tv; the brookings bananarama; trent lott's menacing run-for-your-lifes blue tie. august is starting out as quite a carnival.

It's always a treat when you lefties go all homophobic and gay bashing. When all else fails, you guys immediately -- I mean immediately -- go to the "Isn't he a fag?" thing. You do the same thing with blacks (remember Joe Lieberman in blackface on DailyKos?) and don't even get me started on your anti-Semitism. Yeah, you're a real peachy group of folks. I can't understand why more people don't support you.

Finally, there are some dopplegangers on the site that use pretty rudimentary tactics in spoofing people's names. The only peple who can't tell the difference are Conservatives.
Here's a hint since you're likely still confused:
archie stanson has posted here as arch stanton and myself.
It will have a follow-up post to this one using someone else name or his "archie" parody. The post will be infantile, but it will consider itself clever. This occurs because it's intellectual capacity is limited, but it is unaware of it's limitations.
Hope this helped

Actually arch, archie, rmrd0000, and JJ are the same poster like QH, Voice of Reason, Laughing at You, and Judgement are the same person.

This site needs some serious moderation or a registration feature.

Rmrd0000 is not me. He is nothing more than a concern troll who leans to the left but is not a true believer. At least he should vote for Future Madame President Hillary Rodham Clinton when the time comes so I will give him a pass.

TNR has re-reported the stories and issued a statement, link on my handle. I feel for Beauchamp who is now in an awkward spot. Here's the last para:

"Although we place great weight on the corroborations we have received, we wished to know more. But, late last week, the Army began its own investigation, short-circuiting our efforts. Beauchamp had his cell-phone and computer taken away and is currently unable to speak to even his family. His fellow soldiers no longer feel comfortable communicating with reporters. If further substantive information comes to light, TNR will, of course, share it with you."

Something else that's strange about Matt Sanchez. I saw it mentioned on a blog that he's been vandalizing Wikipedia articles, including Max Blumenthal's. I checked the edit history on the Blumenthal bio, and sure enough Sanchez made a dozen self-serving edits (posting as Bluemarine) that included references to his gay porn career.

He also tried to add trivia about his porn films to his own WP bio.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Matt_Sanchez#Call_of_Wild_and_Montreal_Men

"Call of the Wild" and "Montreal Men" were both in French. And his role in "Idol Country" was entirely in Spanish. Wow!

Would someone who wants to be taken seriously call attention to information like this? It should be obvious to everyone but the most rabid wingnut that Sanchez is trying to cash in on the controversy -- just like his idol Ann Coulter.

And then there's that facercise thing...

Via Huffingtonpost: http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/A3NF0551WKCCF8?_encoding=UTF8

Matt Sanchez is not just an ex-gay porn star/"gay for pay" prostitute/alleged con artist. He's also a shill for dubious beauty products.

Actually it was me.

I am the creator of a website that takes a very comprehensive look at Matt Sanchez. It details his gay porn, his prostitution, his fight with left-wingers at Columbia University, the Marine Corps investigation into his antics, the efforts by insiders at Wikipedia to protect and promote him by censoring evidence of his past, and more. It includes a discussion forum.

Have a look.
