If you are talking about third parties in general and not "Libertarians" in the strictest sense, I saw this coming last week:
"The very people who call Ron Paul advocates, truthers, leftist loonies and the like, will be the same people who after the election if Obama wins claim that Ron Paul people were really Republicans who lost McCain the election never once noticing the absolute contradiction between those two claims."
I am speaking specifically about the Libertarian Party (of Texas), who had a deliberate plan to destroy good pro-taxpayer conservative Republicans and deliver seats to liberal Democrats in close elections.
Details about their plans were uncovered early in the election cycle:

The Libertarian Party, by pushing candidates in specific races were the Democrats ‘needed help’ to win - DELIVERED SEATS FOR SOCIALISTS.
I dont know how much the Texas Democrats paid the Texas LP to do what they did, or whether this was just stupidity on the part of the LP making a point, but I am beside myself that people on the side of freedom got shilled into supporting the LP, which in the end did nothing but help the Democrats.
