From the June 15th edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck Show:

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 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!
