Related: About this forumHelp. There's a thread that I can't get a 'view all' on - what happened?
This one: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251101160
All I can see is comment subject lines - there is no 'view all' link on my screen.
Anyone know why?

So we sometimes have to force a thread into single post mode.

because the thread it getting talked about all around the net - and folks that show up won't be able to see everything.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014238833

Mitt Romney Accused Of 'Dying His Face Brown' For Univision Interview (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
The Huffington Post | By Sara Gates
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 Romney "dyed his face brown for his Univision interview."

Did Mitt Romney Go Brownface in Attempt to Woo Latino Voters?
If you thought Mitt Romney's week couldn't get any worse, it just did.
The blog Democratic Underground seems to have called it first: The Republican candidate appears to have gotten darker in only a day's time. Fine, you say, he has property on the beach right here in Southern California. It happens.
Yeah, but this particular coincidence coincided with ...
... a "candidate forum" talk with Univision, aimed at Latino voters.

Mitt Romney In BrownFace at Univision.
The folks at the New Civil Rights Movement are caling out Mitt Romney on his ignorant blackface or LatinoFace last night on Univision. Yes, Mitt Romney got sprayed down in darker face coloring.
The New Civil Rights Movement points out that Mitt Romney showed up at the largest Spanish language U.S. television network, and showed the audience of Latinos and Hispanics that he was one of them by dying his skin brown. There is absolutely no question that Romney either used some form of a self-tanner, or get a very deep, dark tan in a very short amount of time, but somehow, all images are consistent with the fact that Romney appeared last night on TV with a significantly darker face.

(66,308 posts)7. Hey, TxforObama!
How come we've never talked? (If we have, I don't remember...) I was born in Texas, and now live up North, the opposite of you. But just like you, I'm a proud Liberal Democrat. ( I have it easy; I live in the very liberal Greater Seattle area...)
