I had a Bizzare Encounter Today

[Richd506]

I was just walking down the street just minding my own business when I saw a pigeon that looked like he was hurt. I thought this because when I walked up close to him, he just stood there and didn't fly away. So I slouched over to try and get a better look at him.

Then all of the sudden, out of nowhere, some dude comes over and slouches over next to me. He looks at the bird and says "don't worry. I won't hurt you. I'm a Republican!" Then he looks at my Obama pin and says "He might hurt you though. He's a Democrat!" Then he just walks off into the blue.

All the while I'm thinking "but aren't the Republicans against protecting wildlife? Don't you support a candidate who's VP shoots wolves from helicopters?" I thought it was the most ridiculous thing anyone has ever said to me.

unaccompanied by their custodians.

4. Troubled. That man is seriously troubled.

I mean, how bad does it have to be inside his head for him to end up talking to a bird about politics?

Obama is driving people insane, and I believe the racists are having the worst time of it. They're barely able to control themselves now, and the McCain/Palin campaign is doing everything it can - goddamn them - to make sure these cretins are encouraged.

It's scary. I'm glad he walked away from you.

What happened to the pigeon?

5. Don't know but he's probably voting for Obama now

6. You're probably right

And welcome to DU!

7. But what about the bird?

Hope it's OK?

[Richd506]

9. Yeah he just sort of walked off afterwords

He went and joined up with some of the other pigeons

8. I believe you need to turn off your inner democrat in this situation...

in other words...don't try to apply logic to this occurence in any way...this was clearly a person coming unhinged...you actually witnessed the beginnings of a nervous breakdown...i hope that guy is in a straight jacket on 11/4...

How's the pigeon?

[Richd506]

11. He's ok

12. McCain's Pigeon

Isn't that ironic. A pigeon on the sidewalk and another runs up to you spewing bizarre things. The true meaning of McCain Pigeons.
