Oddly enough, the thing that has finally driven me around the bend on Romney

[renie408]

is the orange fake tan he donned for the Univision event last night.

Don't get me wrong, I have been fighting hard against him for weeks with friends and family. I am doing everything I can within my small sphere to influence people away from him. I have made phone calls for Obama, donated what I could when I can. But I haven't been one of those people who said things like "We are doomed if Mitt Romney becomes President."

Then he turned up at Univision last night looking like an Oompa Loompa.

We are doomed if Mitt Romney becomes President.

This man is phenomenally stupid and insensitive. He is like a caricature of a rich white guy running for President. Only he IS a rich white guy running for President.

1. Kind of creepy isn't it? Dare I say, perhaps, insulting Hispanic ethnic groups by assuming this

new brownish color will shut down their minds about his policies?

He wouldn't want to be perceived as he is, as White, after-all, now would he.

That make-up delivers a very schizoid message.

[Voice for Peace]

30. as creepy as it is, and even if he requested to be colored orange, it will be blamed

on the makeup people. I hope they did it on purpose at least.

[renie408]

2. All he had to do was go ONE day. ONE day without doing something stupid and he couldn't do it.

I can't get over it. I literally sat here with my mouth hanging open when I saw the pictures. I am still slightly in shock.

5. You know how you say Jorge for George, Pedro for Peter, and Maria for Mary?

The translation for "Mitt" is "Estupido."

8. Thank the Gods, I wasn't drinking water right then

muy, muy, estupido. Como se dice Racist?

[ncgrits]

9. Completely off-topic but your little signature gif is a scream! I love it! nt

[rustydog]

34. I just blew a corn dog out my nose...

[VWolf]

11. My first thought last night was:

PLEASE tell me that's photoshopped. The man can't be THAT tone-deaf.

Apparently, he is.

[Marrah_G]

12. Pandering to the Oopma Loompa vote

[yardwork]

19. I felt the same way. Jaw dropping, wasn't it.

[goclark]

29. Really? Did he really get a tanjob ???

Photoshop-- right?

[Voice for Peace]

31. bad makeup job on a white person.

[MADem]

3. His daddy was a better Mexican than he could ever hope to be. nt

[Voice for Peace]

32. maybe somebody joked about darkening his skin in order to win

and he thought it was a serious suggestion.

[madokie]

4. I'm happy that something finally did it for you

I've been around the bend on rMoney since his last attempt at the Presidency.

[renie408]

7. You know, I knew it would be bad.

But I hadn't really paid attention to him because he never made it this far nationally. And, honestly, the bits and pieces I had heard up until THIS election cycle weren't THAT terrible.

But oh my god. The man cannot go a day without doing something incredibly stupid and his arrogance and insensitivity are astonishing.

[madokie]

27. I agree he is a walking disaster

emphasis on Is and Disaster

[tavalon]

6. What's wrong with a little racism?

Brownface, blackface, whatever.

[valerief]

10. Rmoney IS Mr. Burns. Only without the heart. nt

14. ROFL!!

[Voice for Peace]

33. OMG Zelig!

Zelig is a 1983 American film written and directed by Woody Allen, and starring Allen and Mia Farrow. Allen plays Leonard Zelig, a nondescript enigma who, out of his desire to fit in and be liked, takes on the characteristics of strong personalities around him. The film, presented as a documentary, recounts Zelig's intense period of celebrity in the 1920s and includes analysis from present day intellectuals.

... of some kind... so I figured I'd just search for it and look for myself.

Probably someone just overreacting....

Original plain recipe Romney...



Spicy brown salsa Romney...

I laughed and slightly pooped myself at the total un-fuckin-believability of it all.

This is the kind of shit that maybe some Blacks or Latinos might joke about... the idea of some GOPer showing up in black-face or something like that in an attempt to get votes. But that would have been a joke. Nobody ever expected a GOPer to actually do it!!!!!

[Arkansas Granny]

18. Like you, I thought someone was joking or was posting an altered picture. However . . . .

when I saw other pictures from the event, he's orange in every one of them. My jaw dropped a little bit, too.

[yardwork]

20. "...looking like a cooked gringo." At your link - rotlf

[patrice]

36. He, he, "Nixon's Revenge"!

[Berlum]

16. "You rang?" - Oompa Loompa Romney (R - 1%)

[trumad]

17. Snooki-colored Mitt Romney

[nolabear]

21. Well he did tell that talk show host he was a Snooki fan. "she's so teeny...".

What grown man says "teeny"?

[Chan790]

22. The thing that really got me...

was that he made it even more obvious because he forgot to do the backs of his hands.

Brown people have brown wrists and forearms. Presumably, orange people do not have pasty white forearms.

[Indpndnt]

23. But orange people DO have a distinct line from ear to collar.

Where, apparently, the sun ran out of energy and couldn't tan his neck. His left ear in a posted photo upthread looks rather pale, too.

[drlit]

24. Ear mic, eh? Handlers have him on a short leash now? n/t

[ananda]

25. Next thing you know he'll be wearing blackface..

.. impersonating Jolson and singing Dixie.

[SDjack]

26. The Rethugs would roast Pres. Obama alive if showed up

to address a crowd in "white face."

[HopeHoops]

28. Correction: He's a rich white guy trying to BUY the presidency.

[Voice for Peace]

35. a deluded sad clown who learned how to do one thing well

and thinks it's the solution to everything.
