Hi Justin,
Did you try the atomic method ?
You can see the step and lot of feedback on this thread:

I think in your case I would try to heat the extruder, so that the filament could melt in the hot end, and push it with filament. if some filament is extruded by the nozzle, continue until the one you insert reach the hot part, then you will be able to use the atomic method to clean the extruder.
Do not forget to protect yourself properlly against burns !

I just got past this same problem http://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/prusa-i3-kit-building-calibrating-first-print-main-f6/clogged-extruder-due-to-fan-failure-t2708.html
I disassembled the heatsink and put it in boiling water with pliers to push the filament out. My PTFE tubing had malformed inside with a little anchor block holding things in place. I wound up replacing the tubing.
