No, I don't think Dems are "racist" in the typical sense the media uses the word. But they are racist in that they think minorities cannot advance without THEIR HELP. I agree, the overriding reason they oppose Estrada is because he is a conservative, but Rush is right: they also can't BEAR that Bush would be the first to nominate (successfully) a Hispanic.

Without the minorities, their party would cease to be.
