Hypocrisy Alert: Jihad Watch Gets Desperate Against LoonWatch Yet Again
JihadWatch just published this:
Incitement to violence against Robert Spencer at “Spencer Watch”
Spencer Watch is a site affiliated with an larger propaganda outfit that had to go and steal the name of a perfectly nice site about birds.
Yes, idiotic comments happen, and here, we delete them as soon as we are aware of them. Ordinarily, we have better things to do than read anything Spencer Watch puts out, but a reader kindly brought this comment to our attention, which has remained for over a year on a rather major page within the site, intended to imitate our “Why Jihad Watch?”

Clik here to view.Wow. Way to refute everything about Acts 17, “RefutingActs17.” You totally put St. Paul in his place there, dude.
Robert Spencer always enjoys giving himself an air of mystique by boasting that his life is in mortal danger, which is why his books such as The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) say that “He lives in a Safe, Undisclosed Location.” This, even though he quite openly says here that “I live in New England.” Couldn’t his book have said that, instead of the melodramatic “He lives in a Safe, Undisclosed Location” (all capitalized for some odd reason)? It’s not really “Undisclosed” then, is it?
The reason for this fraud is obvious: nothing boosts ratings more than a fatwa on one’s head. So, it is no wonder then that Robert Spencer has been desperately trying to accuse LoonWatch (or its affiliate site SpencerWatch) of threatening him. For the first time, Spencer and the Islamophobes have an organization that is really sticking it to them. He has to find a way to discredit us. Unfortunately, nothing sticks!
The fact that JihadWatch has absolutely nothing to use against us–that Robert Spencer has no substantive responses to issue whatsoever–is painstakingly clear to see when we look at the frustrated, almost pathetic, attacks on our site. Awhile ago, he published an article condemning a comment Mosizzle posted ["Like all cancers, this one needs to be cut out before it spreads"] which wasn’t even posted by a LoonWatch or SpencerWatch writer. Not only that, but Mosizzle explained that his sentence was meant to be understood in a proverbial, not literal, way.
Once again, JihadWatch couldn’t find a single sentence written by a LoonWatch or SpencerWatch writer to take issue with, so it has to once again dig up a comment by some random poster–RefutingActs17–who says: “It’s time Robert Spencer got schooled–the hard way.” Apparently, that’s supposed to constitute “an incitement to violence.”
According to urbandictionary.com, “taking someone to school” means:
Being taken to school means that you have been owned, pwnt, ownt, pwned, beaten, defeated, SHOWN HOW ITS DONE. Nubs usually get taken to school in games such as Counter-Strike.
Oh my God! Maybe RefutingActs is challenging Robert Spencer to a game of Counter-Strike! (I’m going to hazard a guess that Spencer will play with the Counter-Terrorists.)
As I pointed out previously in response to Spencer’s spazzing out over Mosizzle’s comment, all of this reeks of profound hypocrisy:
Robert Spencer, on the other hand, physically threatened me (Danios), calling for me to be lashed 100 and 101 times on two different occasions respectively, saying about me (“the slick liar”):
The slick liar who penned that piece ought to get 100 lashes
And:
The slick liar who penned that piece ought to get 101 lashes
Calling for someone to get lashed 100 or 101 times cannot really be understood as “proverbially speaking” nor is it a common saying. (Admittedly, I think it was nothing more than him just losing his temper…) So basically on the one hand we have on LoonWatch a comment using a phrase most commonly used in the proverbial sense by a random reader of our site who is not even a part of the LoonWatch team…(Nowhere in the quote by Mosizzle is violent action called for.) And on the other hand we have a threat that explicitly says I should be lashed, a threat issued not by some random reader of JW, but by the main man himself!
I smell something: it’s the smell of desperation.
All of this desperation coming from JihadWatch just because LoonWatch and SpencerWatch are really getting under their skin. Most humiliating of all, of course, is that Robert Spencer is scared to debate us here at LoonWatch. But I guess whining about a comment here and there posted by random visitors to our site is just as good as facing me in debate?
Instead of defending the arguments he raised in his book (many of which I have refuted and will continue to refute), Spencer’s site spends time analyzing the name of our website. Oh no, we stole the name of a bird site (even though our site existed beforehand). To respond using the words of JihadWatch: Wow. Way to refute everything about LoonWatch. You totally put Danios in his place there, dude. You just refuted us, and now we give up. All our base are belong to you.
