Sanders Co-Opts The Pope, Slapping His Logo On Pope Francis' Pix

[KittyWampus]

I guess after you've already co-opted logos to pretend you have endorsements and impersonated Union members… the next step is using the Pope as a prop.

THANKS TO CHA for finding this tasteless pandering.

1. Wow!

[stopbush]

2. Wow, indeed! That is so disingenuous and glomming.

Seriously, it's the kind of thing you'd expect to see as a parody, not as an actual campaign ad.

3. Thls is not the first unsubstantiated claim made by the Sanders Campaign of the support

of some person or organization.

[KittyWampus]

5. And that's my take away… it's all intentional.

[workinclasszero]

4. Wow!

The bros really have no shame do they?

Pathetic!

[shenmue]

14. Hey! Doggone it!

[IamMab]

6. Shameless.

Absolutely fucking shameless.

[Stuckinthebush]

7. Par for the course

Ol' Sanders (I-VT) sure does like to imply endorsements from all sorts of people.

[KittyWampus]

8. I should try and find that list...

[Stuckinthebush]

9. Yes, please do

and add "Pope" to it!

:ROFL:

10. Maybe if he put his face on a KFC bucket as Colonel Sanders he would've done better in the south?

16. LOL

11. Unbelievable. Could you imagine the outcry if Hillary used the Pope like that?

[NurseJackie]

12. At Sanders HQ someone likely said: "Fuck-it! What have we got to lose? How much worse can it get?"

I guess that's how it goes when a candidate is losing, when his poll numbers are falling, when his delegate count is short, when his endorsement list is thin, and when it's pretty damn obvious that the campaign is in its final throes.

This is sheer desperation, and it's likely to hasten the end of his campaign rather than to extend it.

Go, Hillary! We love you!

13. Is this for real?

If so, WOW, un-frickin' believable.

[fleabiscuit]

15. Ermahgerd

[Surya Gayatri]

17. Tasteless, crass, beyond the pale...unbelievable, but not unexpected.

HOW LOW WILL THEY GO? It's a new drinking game.

[pandr32]

18. Good grief

I wonder how much the Pope would like the fact that Sanders doesn't believe in charities, and voted against sensible gun regulation?

[JSup]

19. He...

...does know that liberal Christians are usually educated, right?
