Democrats are understandably obsessed with Darrell Issa — he’s built himself up as a one-man investigative machine aimed straight at the Obama presidency.
But a handful of liberal political operatives in California — including a former Hillary Clinton hand — are taking their anti-Issa passion to a whole new level, launching a nonprofit group, a website and even paid media advertisements aimed at undermining and investigating the rabble-rousing chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
They say they’re leaving no stone unturned in digging into Issa’s personal and business history. This week, the group will reveal more than 100 pages about an investigation into a fire that burned down a building that housed his business in the early 1980s.
The launch of this group — which calls itself The Third Lantern, and is naming the website the Issa Files — is remarkable because it’s wholly focused on the activities of one lawmaker who has no immediate plans to run for higher office. The purpose of this new group is to make public documents more public, make life difficult for Issa and sow seeds of doubt on his investigations.

Oh, I forgot. Only Republicans have to be civil.
Their playbook is so old Julius Caesar wouldn’t use it...............
They’re starting early with the pre-emptive dirt. And, why not? It worked great on Sarah Palin. I don’t think she’s electable because of the overwhelming amount of crap that’s been published about her. Too many reason that “where there’s smoke there’s fire.”
End of the article.
“This is not the only website dedicated to beating up on Issa. The California-based Courage Campaign operates a website called Issa Watch, which “tracks Darrell Issa’s public record as well as the ongoing investigations and hearings he’s involved with as chairman of the House Oversight Committee.”
Follow the money. I suspect that some shadowy Soros group is the ultimate sugar daddy here.
They can’t stand any oversight of Obama - he needs to be left in peace as he tries to destroy the country as quickly as possible.
I think it’s about time Mr. Issa lanch an investigation into all non-orifits. you know, just to make sure they aren’t political or anything like that.
I think that is what this outfit is doing. What we need to do is investiage the investigators that are investigating the investigator ;^)
The only reason there is ANY smoke...Democrats are arsonists...
People need to dig and see if any of these groups are non profits...
I meant “Non-Profits”. Need Coffee........
FTA
“Dan Newman of SCN Strategies, one of the three people leading the anti-Issa campaign, declines to disclose how much is being spent on the effort or who is bankrolling it, telling POLITICO it is being paid for by “patriotic Americans who don’t want to see the potential of an ethically challenged congressional investigator run amok with McCarthyesque fishing expeditions.”
The structure of the organization does not require that it disclose its funding. “
Ad Hominem attacks.
Whether they find incriminating stuff or not,
is irrelevant to Issa’s findings in his investigations into 0bama’s regime.
The politics of personal destruction.
Never put a stick in someone’s eye who has power over you.
Issa should finally decide to use the nukes:
Subpeona to Director, Florida Department of Health
“Bring forth, forthwith, all records of live birth of one (.)bama, Sortoro, and any other alias known to have been used by the current president”.
Soros... I can’t say it more plainly than this reference -
“will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?”
Then again, he just might be that entity that cannot be “gotten rid of” before he’s tossed into the lake of fire by an angel.
ISSA: Make that Hawaii, not Florida, my bad.
Don’t worry about Sarah. All they’ve done is make her even stronger.
lancing a puffy, festering boil, or salting a slug, is never pretty.
They were successful decades ago with “McCarthyism” and “Witch Hunt” so now they are re-opening their playbook and starting over. The press will once again be on their side. Pure Alinsky.
Attack! Attack! Start sending the subpoenas, start hearings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
