Have you noticed that instead of backing up the delusional posts they make they just try another whole tack? Sort of like what's going on right now. Sounds just like a Democratic tactic to me.
Jim Robinson wrote the foreward for a book called Hillary's Secret War. During the 90's, Jim was able to trace where posters were posting from and we had lots of people from The Washington Post and the Clinton White House.
Leftists come here and pretend to be these PERFECT conservatives (you know, the kind of person who doesn't exist in the real world) and then they stir dissent on the boards.
We see a fair amount of that on these threads in particular.
Yet, I can think of no better way to put people off a candidate than to have nutty folks campaigning for them. Maybe you have something, there.
