If you read Jill Chambers mail, you'd think Chris Huttman used to run some sort of seedy website. She said the following:

Huttman enjoys lurking on the internet where he is known as Chris Is Hard Core. He recently tried to delete to delete all references to his website.

On his "Hard Core" website, Chris has frequently asked people to send him photos that he puts online. His commentary is peppered with vulgarities and crude references to body parts. In June 2004, he used his website to defend the actions of Cynthia McKinney and to endorse Vernon Jones!

Here's the truth. Although Jill Chambers is trying to scare you into thinking that Chris Huttman operated some sort of X-rated site, she knows the truth is that Chris's former political blog, chrisishardcore.com was a renowned political site that discussed DeKalb, Georgia and national politics. His work was cited in the national political blog Slate as well as in the AJC and numerous high profile national political blogs. He stopped writing the site in 2006, and began contributing instead to the Republican leaning website Peach Pundit and the Democratic leaning Tondees' Tavern.

Chris Huttman, as a blogger and political commenter brings a wealth of knowledge of Georgia politics to the blogosphere and is respected by both Democratic and Republican bloggers. Although he comments under his "handle" of Chris Is Hard Core, it is well known who he is and that it is Georgia politics that he is "hard core" about. Chris Farris, one of the top Georgia Republican bloggers at Peach Pundit, recently said of Chris: "I’ve got more respect for [Democratic bloggers such as] Chris Huttman, people who I strongly disagree with politically, for using their real names or identifying themselves than I do for the people whose politics I share yet hide their identity."

When Jill Chambers implies that Chris Huttman is running some sort of website that is an X-Rated photo exchange, she is willfully lying to you and hoping that you don't do your own research and discover that it is actually one of the first blogs devoted solely to Georgia politics that has inspired numerous other individuals to speak up about their political beliefs online. When she says that Chris Huttman enjoys "lurking" online, what she's really saying is that anyone who goes online to read about politics or engage in the political process is some sort of deviant.

Jill Chambers doesn't think you're smart enough to draw your own conclusions from a fair airing of the fact. She accuses Chris of endorsing Vernon Jones, but what she doesn't tell you is that in 2000, when Vernon first ran for DeKalb CEO she issued the following statement:

He even won the endorsement of the DeKalb Republican Party. Vernon has a very good knowledge of what's going on all over the county," said DeKalb Republican Party Chairwoman Jill Chambers. "He is a consensus builder. He has a proven track record.
