| The Left's Next Big Thing |

| [AmericanThinker] Fresh off getting their britches kicked over the Kavanaugh nomination, the American left has come up with yet another scheme to stymie the GOP and strangle the MAGA program in its cradle. This is the product of John Burton, an Obama acolyte and political activist who, harnessing the crowdsourcing process (the "Wiki effect"), has signed up an army of amateur volunteers to examine the records of dozens of vulnerable GOP candidates with the intention of publicizing these findings in a string of October surprises. Burton is an ex-banker who worked for the Obama campaign as an opposition researcher. After Donald Trump was elected, he joined the "Resistance," according to his own words, out of guilt that he'd allowed Trump to be elected. He immediately organized a telephone campaign in which, shortly after the inauguration, 78,000 callers contacted the Senate Judiciary Committee demanding an investigation into "Russian collusion." Some sources give him credit for the Mueller investigation, which is arguable, to say the least. Burton then applied himself to organizing "Citizen Strong," a 501(c)(4) "grassroots" outfit dedicated to ending the Trump menace. Anticipating the 2018 elections, he has organized 16,000 volunteers who have been searching the net for "damaging material" on GOP candidates. Citizen Strong is targeting three Senate races, 22 House races, and 133 state legislative races in 13 states. The effort has been financed by what even his supporters call "dark money." (It should also be mentioned that one of the individuals involved is an evident Russian immigrant named "Tanya." Another is named "Vlad." You'd really think they'd know better.) The purpose is to unleash all this material prior to November 6, throwing GOP electoral efforts into chaos and delivering the seats in contention to the Dems. We will pause here for the usual suspects to respond, as they did to the Mueller investigation and the Kavanaugh hearings, by racing back and forth and screeching, "It's over... it's hopeless... nothing can be done... They've won... we're finished, I tell you..." Moving on, we will now calmly examine the reasons why it's by no means "all over": More at the link |

| #13 I'm waiting for the liberals to come up with a cyber-dirty tricks division. They already have the MSM! Just listen to the "outrage Machine" where the Talking Heads comment emotionally to each other out about how 'outraged' they are are about the 'outrageous behavior' that some (Right Wing) person has done -- all carefully left vague and formless, but. It. Was. Outrageous! Irredeemable! Horrible! |

| #12 With witnesses pledged and ready to go with memorized stories. Hopefully Nun's or people of color or something that would be awkward to argue against. |

| #11 I'm waiting for the liberals to come up with a cyber-dirty tricks division. Have a group that can update Wikipedia with "old" data about something bad, then cook up a dozen Myspace pages talking about that something bad, and of course some old newspaper stories or something, everything ready to go except the nominee name and the abused name so that everything looks like an old crime that was covered up. |

| #9 Why do I think the Dem Party is like the Roadrunner. Every hairbrained scheme fails and comes back on the Roadrunner. |

| #7 You can set the bar anywhere you want, as long as it's set the same for every member of both parties. What? No can do? Well then... |

| #5 That's why I'm saying that your side has to establish an NGO who'll pursue such accusations, in court, after the elections. |

| #1 Character assassination is all they have. They have no arguments, nothing. All they can do is attempt to discredit the speaker. The ad hominem method of argument. They have no points to make, none. |
