The Koch Brothers Double Down
Okay, remember when I told you about the Tea party blogger who snuck into the nursing home where Mississippi Republican senator Thad Cochran’s wife was staying with early onset Alzheimer’s? He wanted to take a picture of her to display while claiming that Cochran was messing around with his long time staffer.
Hole cow, that was just the prelude to the vicious attack coming from the Tea Party and the Koch Brothers.
A Mississippi Tea Party leader and another man were also arrested this morning in the Wifegate espionage case.
Mark Mayfield of Ridgeland, an attorney and state and local tea party leader, was arrested Thursday along with Richard Sager, a Laurel elementary school P.E. teacher and high school soccer coach. Police said they also charged John Beachman Mary of Hattiesburg, but he was not taken into custody because of “extensive medical conditions.” All face felony conspiracy charges. Sager also was charged with felony tampering with evidence, and Mary faces two conspiracy counts. The arrest of Mayfield, well-known in political, business and legal circles, caused shock in Mississippi, in a criminal case and election that already had Mississippi in the national spotlight.
Now you’d think that after all this sleazy inhumane rigamarole, they’d lay off Cochran. But, noooo.
The Koch Brothers pile on, running an ad saying that Cochran once said something nice about the President of the United States of Damn America.

How low can the Tea Party go? It appears that they are at the bottom of the well and still digging.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.

1Marcia, thanks for the tip. I will look into it. I expect to be in CO in July for the RockyGrass festival. If there is no conflict perhaps I’ll see you there.

4Ralph Wiggam … I’ve been in Canon City, CO since 2004 and have yet to drive over the mountain to Westcliffe’s bluegrass festival or any of the bluegrass events in CO. Most of the events are a bit pricey for me, so doubt we’ll be meeting up! LOL Wouldn’t know who to look for anyway! But I hope you can make it to all the events you can!!
I have a brother-in-law who use to be in the bluegrass band: ‘Sotagrass out of Minnesota but my sister and him now live in Buffalo Center, Iowa and the group is disbanded now.
