I love The Onion. No candidate is above shade.

1. LOL--did anyone else see the side-by-side comparisons

of Pete and Obama? Jesus that was weird. I don't want to link to them because it's probably a right wing product, but it was still funny.

2. If you're talking about the article linked to in the OP, it's the Onion

A parody site, not a news site.

The Onion has been harsher on Pete than on the other candidates.

3. No, I'm talking about a mashup that was going around on twitter

with Pete and Obama giving simultaneous stump speeches. It was funny, but possibly deceptively edited, so I don't see the point of linking it. I thought that was what the Onion was referring to.

4. "No candidate is above shade." - except Sanders, and it's intentional.

Sanders articles are almost entirely about his supporters or satirizing criticism of him, but rarely about him personally.

And it's intentional, interestingly enough.

7. What about this

LAS VEGAS—Acknowledging the blunder following public pressure that his patient release the confidential documents, embarrassed heart surgeon Dr. Michael Sharrer admitted to reporters Monday that he may have accidentally left Bernie Sanders’ medical records in the candidate’s chest.

8. Still not really Bernie.

It's not Bernie's fault, see, it's his doctor's.

It's also mocking the criticism Sanders has received about releasing them.

"At press time, Sanders’ critics were calling upon the presidential candidate to cut open his chest to release the records."

6. That's a flattering photo of him.
