OK if so then BOTH sides were guilty of dirty tricks. Just because they are Tea Party they get no pass from me on breaking into a nursing home.

No, you are equating the actions of someone who calls himself a Tea-Party member with all the Tea-Party by the way you are phrasing this.

It is misleading and dishonest because the vast majority of Tea-Party members would not take part in this type of crap.

Cochran and his crew, however, are certainly guilty of trying to use this information for political advantage.

One is a certainty, the other is one person claiming to be a Tea-Party member. No equivalence, just your crappy attempt at painting equivalence.

Incorrecto. I said nothing about all Tea Party members. By both sides I was referring to this specific primary campaign - scum on both sides. Mark Mayfield was arrested and is reportedly the VP of the Mississippi Tea Party. Unlike some I won't mute criticism of someone if they just happen to belong to some group I like.
