27. So when the Pope says "he had the kindness to greet me" you interpret that as a lack of manners?

The Pope specifically said Bernie greeted him out of kindness, for you to interpret that as the Pope saying he was ambushed shows you have zero credibility.

Yes, I heard he hid under the table and jumped out and shouted "Boo!" when the Pope walked by Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #11

No. There are true, easily verifiable accounts. And there are liars. They're easily distinguished. DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2016 #14

Yes. See the quotes from this article. IamMab Apr 2016 #17

So greeting somebody is the same as ambushing them now? Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #25

The Pope greeted Sanders, because Sanders ambushed the Pope. As Francis says, "common courtesy." IamMab Apr 2016 #26

greeted him with a handshake - nothing more - no verbal greeting DrDan Apr 2016 #31

I think he was waiting for him. I think the Pontiff knew he was in the foyer. NurseJackie Apr 2016 #18

may be less than that - Bernie says he greeted the Pope, however, when DrDan Apr 2016 #30

You ambushed yourself whatchamacallit Apr 2016 #22

Nnnnnnnnnnope. cherokeeprogressive Apr 2016 #23

yep - if the Pope is to be believed - and I think he is DrDan Apr 2016 #29

So you agree with the Pope that Bernie greeted him out of kindness Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #32

"kindness"? don't remember that behavior being mentioned with respect to this meeting DrDan Apr 2016 #33

You must not have read the Pope's words then Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #34

I had not seen that particular quote - I remember "courtesy" DrDan Apr 2016 #35

Who cares what the specifics are? It was clearly not an ambush. Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #36

I'll wait for a reliable source, if you don't mind DrDan Apr 2016 #37

You mean one of those "reliable sources" that told you that Bernie invited himself to the Vatican? Bjorn Against Apr 2016 #39

it certainly won't be any of those who claimed Bernie was the headliner or the ones DrDan Apr 2016 #41
