I just heard about this yesterday. I remember seeing this guy about a month or two ago. It was on Hannity and Colmes. Can't remember what college the guy was from but he was in the arm forces. He might have went to columbia. Well he was talking about how people wouldn't let him speak or sum chit like that about the war. One of those token guys Fox News pulls out of there ass to divide people. Well, this guy made the rounds on the neocon nitwit radio stations. Then back to Oreilly. I remember the quotes "what a great american" Blah Blah Blah. Hannity was the best. Semper Fi he told the guy before leaving and thanks for your service. "you are a great american sir" Well this guy low and behold is a gay porn star and worked as a gay prositute. Sanchez i think his last name is. Can't quite remember his Gay handle tho. Tug MYWeiny or something like that. Where does Fox find these guys?
Here is the story
STEWART: That politics creates strange bedfellows is once again uncovered in our number one story on the COUNTDOWN tonight. Most of us have heard now about last weekends CPAC convention in Washington, where conservatives heard speeches from presidential candidates and right wing icons, and where Anne Coulter made a homophobic joke about John Edwards, complete with an anti-gay slur.
At that same conference, an ex-marine Corporal, Matt Sanchez, was also there, seen in this picture with Miss Coulter. Mr. Sanchez was honored with the Gene Kirkpatrick Academic Freedom Award for speaking out about his treatment as a student at New York?s Columbia University. Sanchez appeared on Fox News? ?Hannity and Colmes,? saying that at a campus event, because he identified himself as a member of the military, he had been called a baby killer by fellow students, and that the university was essentially doing nothing about how he was treated.

SEAN HANNITY, FOX NEWS ANCHOR: You?re a great American, thank you for your service to your country. And Semper Fi my friend.

STEWART: Bill O?Reilly invited Mr. Sanchez on his program to relate the same incident and not only was Sanchez honored at CPAC but other conservative icons have made nice, like Michelle Malkin, Newt Gingrich. But as explored by the ?Nation?s? Max Blumenthal in the Huffington Post, who will join us in a moment, and is revealed by several gay blogs, Mr. Sanchez was once known apparently as Rod Majors, the star of some fairly frisky gay porn.
Several sites also claim he was once a male prostitute. It is not known if the conservatives who often speak out against equal rights for gay Americans new the full biography of Mr. Sanchez. Joining me now, as promised, Max Blumenthal, a contributor to the ?Nation,? and a research fellow at Media Matters For America, a self-described progressive organization that takes on conservative slants in the media.
Good evening Max.
MAX BLUMENTHAL, MEDIA MATTERS: Semper Fi Allison.
STEWART: So first of all, just to be clear, are you sure these are the same pictures of Rod Majors and Corporal Matt Sanchez. They are one and the same?
BLUMENTHAL: According to several gay bloggers, these are one and the same. I never saw the original pictures, so I?m just going on these accounts and Matt Sanchez has given an interview, where he essentially confirmed that yes, he is Rod Majors, the gay porn star and, yes, he was a male escort.
STEWART: Now, in a correspondence with the blogger that we contacted, Mr. Sanchez acknowledged the porn work, but he did acknowledge that he wasn?t exclusively gay. He said, he was, quote, bad at being gay. So, do you think that makes much difference to conservatives, whether you?re good at being gay or bad at being gay?
BLUMENTHAL: Well, I don?t care what the Corporal Matt Sanchez, AKA Rod Majors says. This is a guy who is supported by two networks at the same time, the first network was a gay sex network, and he sold his service for 200 dollars a pop and 250 dollars if he had to leave his house. The other network was a ideologically homophobic right wing network, that consisted of people like Bill O?Reilly and Sean Hannity and David Horowitz, who used the Corporal Matt Sanchez, AKA Rod Majors, to advance their campaign to demonize the campus anti-war movement and academics in general.
So he joined up with this right wing culture and he?s been unmasked by progressive bloggers as a hypocrite. I fully expect the people who supported him on the right to throw him under the bus now, because these authoritarian conservatives treat each other as compassionately as they treat disabled veterans.
STEWART: Well, you know, obviously Mr. Sanchez is entitled to associate with any kind of organization he wants. And if you heard him in these interviews, he?s really well-spoken, he?s great looking. So on the surface, you would understand why any organization would want to be involved with him. But do you get the feeling that no one at CPAC or perhaps even over at the other news channel really knew his full biography?
BLUMENTHAL: You know, several gay bloggers, like, for instance, T-Rex and Fire Dog Lake, have talked for years about the existence of a gay Republican underground railroad, that?s funneled people like Jeff Gannon and Corporal Matt Sanchez from the fringes of the adult industry into the core of the conservative movement and they?ve played an influential role in the backlash politics of the conservative movement and the Republican party, and that is what is relevant here it.
It doesn?t matter inherently that he was a gay porn star. What matters is that he?s a hypocrite who is advancing the ideological homophobia of the right and helping them exploit this homophobia for political gain.
