They hate Holder almost as much as they hate Obama.  You'd think it might be Hillary, but though she's a woman, she's not black, so Holder gets it.

"Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it? Get in the ring," she said. "This is hard and, you know, it's an important thing that we're doing right now and it's an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt's qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country."...

..."It's nonsense and the chattering class...you hear it and then you just let it go right by," she told Radio Iowa. "...Honestly, at this point, I'm not surprised by anything."

Did Mitt Romney Seriously Just Wear Brownface to Appear on Univision?
Erin Gloria Ryan

Last night, Mitt Romney appeared on Univision to promote his flailing candidacy to a group of Americans that pretty strongly doesn't like him: Latinos. But wait a gosh darn second — Mittens looked suspiciously, dramatically tanner and oranger than he normally looks. Could it be that his makeup artist was trying to bronze him to the point of Latino relatability? Did Mitt Romney farging seriously just wear brown makeup so Latin voters might think he's tan enough to support?

During his appearance, Romney attempted to make inroads with Latino voters, who Romney desperately needs if he wants to win the election. Unfortunately, Latinos aren't really into Mitt Romney; 60% of Latino voters say they are Obama supporters while Romney has the vote of a paltry 30%. To Latino voters, the near-consensus seems to be that Romney is an off-putting weirdo who supports zesty, racist immigration policies.

So rather than just, uh, getting better policies, Mittbot's hard drive kicked into hyperdrive, a bunch of lights spun and flashed, and an idea happened. Idea: if you want the Latino vote, become a Latino. And how do humans Latino? Makeup! Foundation is our salvation!

I've gotten to the point where I just reflexively cringe when I see a news story about Mitt Romney. I can't help it anymore; the letters R-O-M-N-E-Y in succession cause a Pavlovian empathetic shame response in me. It's like watching Heidi Montag try to sing and dance at the same time.

Maybe I'm being unfair. Even though those now-infamous secret tapes of Romney revealed that the candidate believes that his life would be way easier if only he had been born a Latino rather than a white millionaire's son, there are other perfectly reasonable explanations as to why Romney would have sashayed onto the Miami Univision set oranger than John Boehner with jaudice. He could actually have jaundice, in which case this is no laughing matter. He could have been having a very sensitive skin day. Maybe his makeup artist went blind and Romney didn't have the heart to fire him. Maybe he was sending a subliminal message to Snooki. And, of course, the possibility exists that this is Mitt Romney running out of fargs to give and choosing to run the most entertaining screw-up of a campaign the US has ever seen from this point onward.

ha. i didn't know this actually made the news cycle but i watched a clip of him yesterday doing the univision interview, then another clip of him doing a talk somewhere else, and he definitely went overboard on the makeup.

as much as i dislike the guy i'm gonna say it was an honest bad tv makeup job but i wouldn't put anything past him.

he thinks so little of minorities that maybe he thought he'd trick them.

It's like when he dressed up as a police officer to pull people over.  He likes to "Blend In"

It is technically true...the problem is they're trying to use that statistic as "47% of people don't contribute to federal taxes, 47% of people are lazy welfare queen bums, etc"

Of that 47% of people who don't pay income taxes, about 60-65% of those are people who pay payroll taxes, aka people that have jobs but are still poor. Their effective tax rates from the payroll taxes is usually around 15%. But between the standard deduction and other deductions, they end up getting what they paid in federal income taxes back. I'm one of the people who are in that category. The next biggest chunk of the people not paying income taxes are retired elderly on SS. Between them, the working poor, and vets returned from war who can't find work, they make up something like 85-90% of those 47% of people not paying federal income taxes.
