Re: Tyranny Of The Minority
we're now under the authority of a highly organized tyrannical minority
A minority Buz? President Obama won the majority of the votes, the Democratic party holds the majority of the seats in the house of representatives and the majority of the seats in the senate. You're not being governed by a minority, but by an elected majority.

Re: Tyranny Of The Racist Minority
I'm pretty sure, given Buz's previous comments regarding Obama, that he meant Muslims
African-Americans would also be accepted by the judges

Re: Tyranny Of The Racist Minority
I don't think so. I've never seen Buz make comments along the lines of African-Americans being a "tyrannical minority,"
Yes but he has before called the election of Obama "racist" claiming that African-Americans only voted for Obama because he's African-American and that by doing so they're showing racism. That plus his general bigotry lead me to think he was lumping AAs into the "army of voters from among the minority element, many who were not previously in the habit of voting."
