Norton race-baiting over Texas, Hispanics and abortion: 'this southern section white party of old men'

More race-baiting from the Democratic plantation. It's a damn shame this comes so naturally for far too many...
CNSNews: A panel was discussing the recent filibuster of an abortion bill by Texas State Senator Wendy Davis. Host Bonnie Erbé said, “I was shocked quite frankly by all the – speaking of Texans -- those hundreds if not thousands of Texans who were in the state capitol all up and down the stairs cheering her on. I didn’t think that there was that many Democrats left in Texas.”

[Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)] replied, “Oh, yeah and you got to watch out because Texas -- when Texas goes full blown -- the Republicans better have it good now because they are not long for this world.”

“Meaning what?” Erbé interjected.

“Meaning that the growth of the Hispanic population is going to mean the end of this section of this – this southern section white party of old men and they know it,” Norton said.


Besides the overt racism demonstrated by the DC delegate, we've got a NEWSFLASH for Eleanor: You're turning off Hispanics with your defense of late-term abortions!
LifeNews: Texas Democrats have lined up behind pro-abortion heroine Wendy Davis in opposition to a bill that bans late-term abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. That might be a good idea to solidify the left-wing base of the Democratic Party, but it is turning off a key constituency — Hispanics.

As Politico notes, polls repeatedly show Hispanics are pro-life and the statewide, and national, attention on opposition to the abortion ban can’t be doing Democrats any favors with them.
ADDENDUM: Levin took a broader swipe at the race-baiters, saying 'Official Racism' no longer exists in America, despite their efforts...
"We’ve got people in this country who run nonprofit groups, who run religious institutions, who run political parties, who run for office, ripping this country endlessly on race. Of course there’s racism in this country. But, official racism, ‘Official Racism’ does not exist. It cannot exist, because there are so many avenues now for eliminating it. And that’s a good thing. We should be celebrating this."
"America. The most magnificent place on the face of the earth. Really, folks, it really is such a magnificent country. So when people say, and as I've discussed before, 'how can you love your country but hate your government,' they don't get it. Or when people say, 'the government is us,' they don't get it. We love our country. The country is us. But politicians and government officials, particularly when they're certain prosecutors, when they've abandoned our heritage, when they've abandoned what makes America great, and they use the power of government to divide us and create a balkanized nation, whether it's race or wealth or whatever it is; no, I don't love that, I despise it, I hate it."
