'There it is'! TPM's Josh Marshall compares Russian separatists to Tea Partyers

So, what’d he say this time? Oh, not much. Just this:

TPM: The Russian separatists who shot down MH17 are kinda like Tea Partiers but armed by Putin http://t.co/oykkvfcdUo

Josh Marshall naturally equates Russian Separatist killers with American Tea Party. RT @TPM Just with real weapons: http://t.co/k1LaqcSzWM

No, he really took it there:

So that’s who you’re dealing with: some mix of civil war reenactor or Tea Partier decked out in revolutionary garb, with a mix of reckless aggression and comical incompetence. Here we have them break into nursing homes to photographs senator’s comatose wives; there Putin gives them heavy armaments designed for full scale land war in Europe.

Nice.

Holy shit. Well @TPM is nothing if not predictable… https://t.co/rjShfmKV38

Wherein @joshtpm can't resist the opportunity to use an unrelated foreign crisis to trash conservatives. http://t.co/BcOloGM5ls

@TPM Oh yes, please let's compare the Tea Party's body count with that of Lefty-supported groups like Hamas, RAF, ANC, Sandinistas, WU, etc.
