      I'm not understanding this. Who is preventing these persons from voting? Seems like they have the right to vote and the right to campaign for and against candidates and the right to hold tea parties whenever they want. Does Beck know what the word disenfranchised means? I like the way the former avid Hillary Clinton supporter has jumped into the deep end of the paranoid reactionary fear monger set who fear a an imminent Communist/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist/Progressive takeover.

        That's the point. Beck doesn't know the definition of the word "disenfranchised." You are correct. If one loses their vote or the right to vote. That is what disenfranchised means in terms of representation.

        But what Beck wants people to believe is when the winners of elections are not a Republican, that means the Republican voters are "disenfranchised." This belief is very in line with many tea party goers who claim "no taxation without representation." They are incorrectly using that phrase there also by complaining that they are being taxed and not being represented by a Republican in office. This is of course different than how the Boston Tea Party goers used it. They were complaining back then that the colonies didn't even have a vote for a parlimentary representative in London at all but were subject to taxes.

      I previously posted about this on last week's Red Scare Index...

      I can't believe the logo is still there, but a different teabagging march is coming up in September. Check out their logo.

      Yep, the red salute!
