Foehammer’s Anvil

Right now I’m very amused. I see that one of my most regular moonbat detractors is actually sourcing the leprous leprechaun today and dragging someone else’s life across the mud as if it is my own in the process. (That last part I don’t like — it didn’t go over well before and it is worse when it’s repeated.)

And apparently taking a three day break after 6 straight months of blogging is seen as “running out of steam” by the would-be philosopher, proving that dealing in insults and defamation are not the only things that critics on the Left seem to know how to work with — they deal in wishful thinking. Lots of it. Wishful thinking about the ‘Religion of Peace’ and wishful thinking that Foehammer will go away, for instance.

“I’m the damn Juggernaut!”

In other words, I’m hardly going anywhere and our enemies know it. But they do try very hard to distract me, don’t they?

So, let’s do the math, shall we? Blog for a Year helps me calculate this point — Foehammer vs Hell’s Handmaiden (John):

187 votes in 638 views vs 101 votes in 939 views

Guess who the clear winner is? That’s right.

The real irony here? I first learned of Blog for a Year by visiting Hells-Handmaiden.com! (I’m sorry. I have to take a minute to stop laughing.)

This proves several things in this continuing ideological war, but one element stands out more than all the rest: I have very loyal readers that are drawn to raw honesty. They keep me chugging along! Full steam ahead!

Just in the past 24 hours:

Podcasting has been incorporated into the Anvil. (See the sidebar.) There will soon be a Podcasting RSS feed made available (I have to test it and resolve some WordPress theme-related conflicts first), and I will start offering podcast versions of my most popular articles and rants. So, if you think people were annoyed and intimidated by me before, you ain’t heard nothing yet!

While I was at it, I also took steps to correct and optimize some SEO issues that may have been plaguing the Anvil for a long time. So, the engine just got some more grease.

Damn, someone better stop tossing that coal into the burner. I might actually not be able to stop!

Heroes and Villains

And finally, here is a piece that was brought to my attention by Lady Predator that I can’t help but share. It is a scathing rebuff of the seditionist pseudo-reverend that is busily attempting to squelch American freedoms under the guise of “righteousness” and from the safety of his wheelchair. Oh, did I almost forget to mention he’s a cyber-stalker? Who does that remind me of…

From Glen Reinsford @ TheReligionofPeace.com:

The “Reverend” Jim Sutter would like you to believe that he is a courageous champion of tolerance, but he is actually nothing more than a megalomaniac in search of a résumé.

The drive for Internet fame has led this otherwise obscure Ohio man to start several blogs in which he purports to do battle with “hate mongers.” In Sutter’s world, this is primarily defined as anyone who is critical of Islam. His expressed goal is to censor opposing viewpoints on the “Religion of Peace” from the Internet (censorship in the name of tolerance… if that makes sense). He embellishes his appeal using the religious credentials of a “Christian minister” standing up for maligned Muslims.

Sutter also finds plenty of time to talk about himself in his many postings, which is turning out to be a personal liability given his affinity for tall tales. So intent is he on making a name for himself that there is actually an independent blog dedicated to exposing the many lies that he has spun about his background and fictitious accomplishments.

Exposing Sutter reveals plenty of amusing details about this sad, little man, including the fact that the religious credentials and degrees that he has honored himself with are as fraudulent as his claim to being a decorated Navy Seal. It seems that this convicted felon is having a real problem telling the truth about his criminal background as well.

For about 15 years Sutter has claimed to be a man of the cloth. As to which “cloth” this is exactly, well, let’s just say that the story evolves with each telling. A 2005 photograph shows him posing in priest’s garb, trying to bolster his claim as a “Catholic Minister.” Unfortunately for him, the Catholic clergy has no such position (and the shirt can be purchased for $29.50 on-line). Sutter has recently declared himself to be a Baptist pastor - largely it seems, on the strength of a mail order certificate. He has also claimed to have three doctorates.

Sutter currently says that he has “multiple disabilities,” of which he is surprisingly unforthcoming (given his relentless effort to inspire others into sharing his fascination with himself). The man who recently used the tragic death of a critic’s child to enhance a false accusation of mental illness probably hopes that claiming an unspecified “disease” will work to his advantage. Even if one takes him at his word, however, he is still in remarkably good health for a man who passed away from heart disease eleven years ago (or was it a brain tumor?).

Given his efforts to cover his tracks, and the fact that he has an obvious motivation in fibbing to impress others, Sutter may not fit the clinical definition of a pathological liar. On the other hand, this convicted felon has no apparent convictions when it comes to integrity. If caught in a lie he will either ignore the situation or try to cover it up with another story.

Sutter’s blog postings are usually little more than superficial ranting spiced with damning accusations of bigotry and intolerance that are rarely supported by the rhetoric that he manages to squeeze in between liberal uses of the word “hate” and the equally ubiquitous soliloquies about himself. With reckless abandon, he seamlessly lumps critics of Islam together with racists and neo-Nazis, even while admitting to being “no expert” on the religion itself.

Not surprisingly, Sutter’s attempts to keep critics of Islam as silent in the West as they are under Sharia has won him an audience with the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an Islamic supremacist organization with documented ties to terrorism. Like the good “Reverend,” CAIR is self-serving, arrogant and rigidly unapologetic. The group is also not above reaching deep into the bottom of the barrel to smear a critic, as spokesperson Ibrahim Hooper has done several timestimes with Robert Spencer of JihadWatch.org.

In fact, it is their shared hatred of Spencer that brought CAIR and Sutter together, and a big reason why the latter is enjoying his 15-minutes of fame.

On August 8th, the CAIR Website briefly featured Sutter’s purported 63-page “exposé” on the JihadWatch founder called “The Spencer Spin.” This was picked up by other Muslim sites, causing Mr. Sutter’s main blog traffic to temporarily spike from less than a dozen hits a day to about a hundred (interestingly, he doesn’t appear to have figured out that the IP tracker on his sidebar reports his true readership to be substantially less than the “thousands” that he often claims).

That CAIR would take the pathetically mendacious Jim Sutter seriously speaks to their desperation. That they would quote from and post a link to his document on their website speaks to their complete lack of credibility. The document is full of lies, errors and sensational but unproven claims about Robert Spencer. It will be very interesting to see if CAIR continues to stand by Sutter’s work following this analysis.

There’s much more where this starts. Read it, though you most likely will feel like taking a shower afterwards.
