The Matt Sanchez (Jeff Gannon redux), Coulter, CPAC, et al discussions caused me to start remembering other things. Doing a few minutes of searching to refresh my memory, I found some interesting connections. Not sure what to make of them.
Matt Sanchez, along with Chris Kulawik and the rest of Columbia's College Repubicans, seem to get a lot of press coverage, particularly being featured in articles by Douglas Feinden. They all seem to be close with David Horowitz in attacking free speech, defending Israel, and supporting the war while attacking Columbia, Democrats, and everything else handy.
Do a quick search on "matt sanchez" "douglas feinden" to start. Then just search on "douglas feinden".
I was amazed at how many of the smear stories came from or were amplified by Feinden.
One of my favorites is from the NY Daily News (with picture of Sanchez):
Wild Sex 101:
S&M clubs, nude parties, porn, X-rated romps rule at Columbia
