Tea Party Leader in Mississippi Kills Himself after Leaking Photos of Thad Cochran's Bedridden Wife

Now this might be a new low in the history of politics.

Mayfield was one of three men accused in May of conspiring with a blogger to illicitly take photos of Cochran's wife, who has dementia, in her nursing home for use in a political video against the six-term incumbent.

Mayfield was charged with conspiracy to photograph someone without permission, an allegation met with shock and some skepticism in the legal community.

It is sad that this guy killed himself but what he did is beyond reason. What possible gain could these Tea Party assholes have had from photographing the bedridden wife of a politician for a political video. If these are the kind of people in the Tea Party maybe they do need to go right into the dust bin of history.
