ChasingEvil.org is the new name for what was called Hate Watch Hall of Shame (HateWatchHallofShame.blogspot.com), which - despite his recent habit of referring to himself in the plural - is really just the ranting of a troubled personality calling himself the "Reverend Jim Sutter".  The name is real, but the title is not. 

Being a Christian minister is one of many personal fantasies with which this very disturbed Cleveland, Ohio man attempts to impress gullible readers.  In the past, Jim Sutter has claimed to be a Catholic minister with three earned PhD's.  He has said that he is an ex-Navy Seal who earned the Navy Cross and four Purple Hearts over a distinguished 26-year career.  He has even claimed to be fluent in eleven languages!

All of this is false, of course (for details see PhonyRev.com).  Sutter is actually a twice-convicted felon and a greedy con artist.  He has served time in prison for repeatedly swindling people out of money (even while claiming to be a Christian clergyman).  One of his more shameful schemes was to solicit victims of depression, rape and other psychological trauma by fraudulently claiming to be a licensed, professional counselor.  He also has a documented history of conning people with disabilities.

Sutter's latest gimmick is his "Chasing Evil" blog, in which he abuses the very serious issues of race and bigotry merely for the purpose of self-promotion and petty grievance.  Like a high school freshman writing his first term paper, Sutter over-employs Webster's Dictionary entries and Supreme Court case references to embellish his writings and project the appearance of scholasticism while camouflaging the paper-thin logic that lies beneath.

ChasingEvil.org is primarily Sutter's venue for punishing personal enemies under the guise of fighting "hate."  He interweaves articles "borrowed" from newswires that concern neo-Nazis and true racists with articles of his own attacking those who have nothing to do with either racism or violence (other than to openly condemn it). 

The true victims of Sutter's phony campaign are those who have exposed the lies that he has told about himself, as well as website operators who refused to yield to his ideological demands.  The otherwise impotent con artist routinely slurs all of his personal enemies as "racists" or "white supremacists" and pathologically harasses their businesses with McCarthyite tactics.

In a crude video montage posted on April 8th, for example, Sutter interspaced brutal images of the Ku Klux Klan and the Third Reich with pictures of those who oppose Islamic bigotry and terrorism in the name of Allah.  He even managed to prominently include at least one image of a private citizen in North Carolina as a personal punishment for exposing the lies that he has been telling about himself.

Although he is very good at initially fooling people into thinking that he is sincere, Sutter is so cynical that he has actually been caught fueling anti-Muslim bigotry with e-mail aliases.  He also has a very curious personal history of hostility and harassment against Muslims, African-Americans, and particularly anyone advocating on behalf of Africans.  His inability to get along with minorities may have been the reason for his early exit from the Navy (after less than 8 months) and it played a strong role in his having gotten fired from the Better Business Bureau in 1990.  He has even been known to tell falsehoods in order to shut down websites campaigning against racial genocide in Darfur!

The list of those who have fallen for Sutter's lies include CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (which continues to promote his lies), and the Web's largest censorware providers, SonicWall and Secure Computing.  Unfortunately, these companies have been fully complicit in helping Sutter bully others into complying with his political and theological views.

ChasingEvil.org is not worth taking seriously because Jim Sutter is not a sincere person.
