Bernie welcomes friendly feathered friend as messenger of peace in Portland event

[pdsimdars]

In the middle of discussing education and the crushing economics of student debt, the crowd and the candidate were made to pause by the appearance of a small bird on the stage.

As he acknowledged its presence on stage, the bird pressed its case further by flying up and landing directly in front of Sanders. As the crowd roared, a large smile crossed Sanders' face.

"I think there's some symbolism here," said Sanders of his surprise guest. "I know it doesn't look like it, but that little bird is really a dove asking us for world peace. No more wars!"

There are some great pictures of the sparrow landing right on Bernie's podium as he spoke.

[pdsimdars]

9. And this is why Bernie people don't support Hillary. . . ugly hearts.

[SamKnause]

12. It is truly sad.

There will be no unity with those who have such ugly hearts.

They seem so very proud of their ugliness.

Hope you have a wonderful evening.

[frylock]

16. How touching.

[Avalon Sparks]

28. Msongs, Please....

So after 40 years on record, that's all you got on the Bern? Really

Senator Sanders is about as much of a warmonger as John Lennon was. To suggest anything else is sheer nonsense.

Your spin has made me so dizzy......

[Lizzie Poppet]

23. Um...

You realize I'm a "Bernie or Bust" type (and kind of a nasty one who's probably Ignored by at least half of Camp Weathervane) and that was sarcasm, right?

Am I not getting your sarcasm?

[hopemountain]

discussing copulation with rats...

Wow.
