Mitt Romney Accused Of 'Dying His Face Brown' For Univision Interview (PHOTOS, VIDEO)Last edited Thu Sep 20, 2012, 04:30 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1)
Source: DU!!!/Huffington Post
Mitt Romney appeared on Univision Wednesday alongside Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas, but something was a little peculiar about his appearance -- his skin tone. Looking back at the hundreds of photos logging his every moment on the campaign trail, the Republican presidential nominee is usually not so shockingly tan. While his orangey-brown appearance on Univision could have been the result of bad lighting or a makeup mishap, left-wing blog the Democratic Underground concluded that Romney "dyed his face brown for his Univision interview." The claim is not completely out of the ballpark. After all, as Gawker points out, Romney did say "it would be helpful to be Latino," in a video secretly recorded at a campaign fundraiser earlier this year. Appearing at a campaign fundraiser in Atlanta, Georgia, before his Univision interview, Romney showed a bit more color, but nowhere near the amount of bronze as seen on stage at the 6:30 p.m. ET filming. So while some messy foundation may have contributed to his darker skin tone, that likely was not the only cause.

DU has turned off the 'view all' on that thread so the previous link I posted doesn't automatically go to comment #170 anymore. But the new link above in this comment should go directly there to the plane photo.

created himself..from posing as a policeman, a fireman, a barber from hell, who knows what else.. it's easy to guess that since Mitt has no substance he was going for The Look(that'll Fool 'em).

46. since Mittens' white ancestors fled to Mexico to practice polygamy, Mitt needs to "go brown"
