The significance of Good Friday- 3-25-2016
Fascinating that such a religiously symbolic incident would actually happen on Good Friday to a Jewish Candidate for the Presidency of the United States who honestly believes in the people
If you actually believe ...
Believe in People ...
Believe in a future for your Children ....
"That little bird is actually a Dove asking us for World Peace"
All that and the Corporate Media (MSNBC) actually covered the event airing his speech in it's entirety rather then cutting away to an empty chair at a Trump rally
Some thing Really Yuuuge Happened today

and that Jewish Candidate has Heaven behind him
religious anymore. I might see it as a spiritual message not so much a religious one.
I absolutely LOVE Mother Nature and ALL of it's creatures. I'm constantly distressed by all that's happening to them, but I've decided that this ONE MOMENT at his rally yesterday will always be a VERY Special moment in all my years of following politics.
The reaction and nasty comments about this little bird has shown me a side of many people here who have downplayed and talked about what a common, dreary, hungry, craggy, piddly looking bird it was! PEOPLE talking about what an UGLY bird this was simply to poke fun and make the incident something other than it was is quite PATHETIC!
Do you really need to ATTACK A BIRD??? It was a moment to be enjoyed and remembered and to interject such negativity by describing the bird as nothing less than a "poor, brown lost bird" says so much more about the people who keep doing this than it does about the bird.
I made a comment similar to this last when someone started talking this way...
I live on the west coast of Florida, go to the beach and you see birds of all types flying around trying to steal food from sun bathers all the time. There are birds at almost EVERY grocery store you go to and people throw them crumbs, even open up packages to give them something. Or maybe some other tidbit that they gladly gobble up. I feed my squirrels every day, don't dislike birds in any way but I find I have to sit with the squirrels BECAUSE the Blue Jays swoop in immediately to grab the peanuts! THEY obviously are well fed because many people here DO feed peanuts and sunflowers in my little community all the time. All I have to do it say a few words and here come the birds BEFORE many of the squirrels get there.
But NONE of them have EVER perched on my shoulder waiting for something. I'm AWARE that pigeons and many other types of birds act differently and aren't affected by people, just like they don't mind the people at the grocery store. I've been in places like Costco and can hear and see that there are birds who've made nests up in the rafters, but I've never seen them come sit at a cash register looking at customers. Has it never happened? I don't know it could have, but I doubt it's something that happens on a regular basis. The ones at the beach just KNOW people bring food and THEY WANT SOME! Those of us who live here try NOT to open food around them because of the DEPOSITS they leave! Sometimes large deposits! We tell people not to feed the birds because of this.
There are egrets and all types of birds that come into my yard all the time! I used to buy chicken necks for some of the larger birds because they DON'T want peanuts, but my husband made me stop because of THEIR huge deposits on cars and everywhere else.
SO, just because THIS BIRD incident happened as it did doesn't warrant this kind of attack on a bird! I found it to be very enjoyable and very uplifting and I would have felt the same way no matter WHO it happened to. Take away what you want from it, some of us find it a little inspirational and DOVES are used ALL THE TIME for inspiration on many different occasions!
So it wasn't a DOVE, but what Bernie said sent an inspirational message to thousands of people! So he's NOT who you support, but to ATTACK the bird and call it names is what I said... PATHETIC, IMO!
...really, I could have listened to the whole song, even though I do not support their candidate -- they were enthusiastic and sounded good. But hardly a magical, spontaneous moment like the one we saw in Portland yesterday.

Now it's a freaking dove??!! 
What's next? Is it a passenger dove ferrying messages to God Himself?

That is totally what Jesus would have posted about Clinton too
This guy is the Real Deal
This sort of weird religious mysticism is not going to be a great selling point to Democratic voters, but if you wanna run with it... 
Its just that Wall St Vultures don't poll that well

The cable news cycle? WTF cares? Are you seriously claiming that bird is some sign from God that he is chosen?
The fact Sanders supporters treat him as god-like is unseemly. This whole faith-based approach to politics depends on a complete suspension of critical thinking, which is the opposite of what civic engagement is all about.
As for what went over my head, you made a direct reference to a Christian holiday that marks the death of Jesus of Nazareth. Then you lecture me because you've decided the only relevant part is the word "good." Good Friday and Easter have both passed. Bernie has neither died nor been resurrected. He's a politician. That his supporters insist on treating him as divine is as strong of an argument against his candidacy as I can imagine. Participatory democracy requires critical engagement, which is the exact opposite of religious worship, which treats criticism as heresy.
But judging from some of these comments it would appear "his" spirit is alive and well in some
