Miss. Tea Party lawyer (Cochran video team) has committed suicide

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/report-mark-mayfield-suicide

One of the supporters of Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R) who was allegedly involved in directing a political blogger to break into the nursing home of Sen. Thad Cochran's (R-MS) wife, has committed suicide, according to a reporter for The Clarion-Ledger of Mississippi.

Mayfield, an attorney and member of the Central Mississippi Tea Party, was one of the men arrested in connection with the criminal case against political blogger "Constitutional Clayton" Kelly, who allegedly went to the nursing home of Rose Cochran's nursing home to take her photograph to use in an anti-Cochran video. Mayfield and Kelly were supporters of McDaniel.

I was watching that moron McDaniel, is he the one in MI whining that dems voted for his opponent, saying there is a law in that state that you cant vote for someone in a primary if you dont intend to vote for them in the election

first, a law like that is stupid and unenforceable and unconstitutional, but these teaparty filth HATE liberals, Gays, minorities SO MUCH they will do anything to destroy the non white america

The GOP related lots of deaths to the Clintons and this one is questionable. Probably did not want to talk and or someone did not want him to talk. McDaniel is pretty angry.
