Just saw a post over in Hill camp and they are a bit befuddled about the bird

[randr]

I do not necessarily subscribe to "religious" dogmas but I accept that this wondrous manifestation of life may indeed move in mysterious ways.
What you see is what you get and a tiny sparrow has opened my heart to the possibility of peace once again.
I hope some day they will join us ------etc.

1. Bernie's responce : "That is really a Dove asking for World Peace"

you can't make that shit up. All that and this happened to a Jewish candidate in a Christian Country, on Good Friday, who has voted against Wars in the Mideast - now what are the odds of that ..


And yes it has made a lot of religious folks ask their self the question - is this Devine Intervention

[randr]

3. I think Bernie was just a amazed as anyone else who witnessed this event

And in his wisdom he went straight for the metaphor.

[FreakinDJ]

5. I think that is what Bernie really beleives

The Jewish guy has acted more Christian then all of his opponents his entire career

[randr]

12. Are you forgetting

Jesus was a Jew?

[FreakinDJ]

15. Not at all

[gsb54]

29. Where do you find the dancing banana?

It is very fun!

[Jemmons]

41. banana

"http:££//i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv277/sweetness_246/dancing_banana.gif££"
with no £'s

It takes a long long time to wind him up though...

[gsb54]

60. Banana is even moonwalking!

Thanks!

[mucifer]

13. He is acting Jewish

[FreakinDJ]

17. He is acting like "The Answer"

Now what was the question ...

[Mbrow]

19. I thought "42" was the answer?

By the way do you know that when I view your posts on the same page that your bananas are synchronized? If synchronized dancing bananas aren't a sign of divine intervention, I don't know what is!

[monicaangela]

2. Has this ever happened before?

I've never seen it if it has.

[EdwardBernays]

4. I assume

They all just are confused at how the bird was able to raise the necessary cash to get to meet the candidate.

"is Goldman hiring birds now?"

[FreakinDJ]

6. This was Bernie - not a $335000 Hillary "Meet and Greet"

[Paulie]

8. Bernie does meet and tweet

[FreakinDJ]

9. True dat ...

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. Love it!

[jillan]

43. Yes!!

[EdwardBernays]

11. Thus

Their confusion

[FreakinDJ]

[jillan]

44. lol. It was a joke. I understand her supporters

Not finding it funny. But it was a joke.

[Reter]

61. I found it hysterical

I'm glad I was the deciding vote on not to hide it.

[Donkees]

7. The healing part of the imagination uses visual language. Thoughts are living things...

...affecting bio-chemistry and your immune system. The yellow finch can inspire thoughts of renewal, confidence, peace, etc. Or one may choose the opposite hemisphere of the brain and/or discredit the healing imagination creative pathway.

[randr]

16. Truth

[Doctor_J]

10. I wish people would stop posting things that they find in that group

I have hidden that group because I don't want to see what's in there. Posting what you see there defeats the purpose of the hide function.

[LiberalElite]

14. That, and posting

from GD-P "did you see what they said now" kind of stuff. I trashed both of them yet there's no escape.

[randr]

18. As I am forbidden to post in "that" group

I can only hope they see themselves referred to and possibly we can open a heart or two.

[Gwhittey]

20. So you are not seeing some funny shit

Like they are saying that Bernie is getting all media and how it is not fair.

[Silver_Witch]

30. Can you direct me to how to hide groups?

Since I can post in the Hillary Group (was banned). I would love not to see any of their "Greatest Threads" possible?

[Doctor_J]

36. If you go to the group page you will see a button that says "Hide" near the top

Press it, and suddenly DU will be much friendlier

[jillan]

45. I concur. I never even look in there.

[Raster]

21. And as another DUer opined: somewhere Hillary Clinton is madly....

....stuffing birdseed into her pantsuit.

[Art_from_Ark]

23. That one was hillaryous

[Raster]

24. Bill, run down to Walmart and get more birdseed!

[Art_from_Ark]

28. LOL!

[noamnety]

33. That made me laugh.

I just keep picturing her staffers trying to train her.

"Okay, so a bird lands on your podium. What do you do?"
"Shoo it away!"

[img][/img]

"NOOOO!"

[Oilwellian]

40. Debbie has Hillary's bird moment covered

[hollysmom]

55. now that is funny

[Raster]

62. Ha! Ha! Ha!

"...I think this needs more bird..."

[n2doc]

22. Well, as you know, The Birds The Word....

[randr]

25. Thanks for this

The song popped in my head within minutes of seeing the bird and Bernie.

[DI Freighter Watcher]

39. Rocking old school

Love it! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[WhiteTara]

31. It doesn't look like a sparrow or a dove

it looks like an American Gold Finch before its colors have changed.

It also reminds me of the monks in Burma who looked at the way a butterfly flapped its wings to see if it was to be a good day in their lives during the regime. 10 years later Aung San suu kyi was released from prison.

[jillan]

46. That's what I thought but I'm not that

Knowledgeable about birds.

[WhiteTara]

48. Someone said it was a house finch, but I thought they have a rose head.

but for sure not a sparrow or a dove.

[jillan]

49. Maybe we should just call it a Bernie Bird.

lol - we can all agree on that.

[DhhD]

32. Bernie Sanders-Truth, Good News and Victory.

In times of old, the gift of song, by giving a sparrow, was an offering which symbolized truth, good news and victory given by a great physician; Bernie Sanders in this case of free song bird landing beside a kind and peaceful heart.

[noamnety]

34. I was amused to see one of their regulars

keeps locking the threads about it.

[SheenaR]

35. Get quarantined

I don't want to catch anything that's been in that group

[VulgarPoet]

37. I don't think they believe in peace.

The Inner Party mantra is of eternal, sustained war.

[Oilwellian]

42. #WeThePeeps

[jillan]

47. I saw that on Twitter. Love it.

[TBF]

50. They will never get it. nt

[My Good Babushka]

51. St. Fabian

St. Fabian was appointed Pope in the third century because a bird landed on him. That's some Holy Spirit shit right there.

[AgerolanAmerican]

52. But Hillary always has a bird at her podium

WAR HAWK

[Jane Austin]

53. All of Bernie's gestures in that clip

are inclusive.

It's beautiful.

[haikugal]

54. House Finch...she was a little house finch.

Male..



Female..



Song here.. https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/house-finch

Scroll down and look on right side of page.

They're lovely little birds.

[hollysmom]

56. probably a young millenial

you know how those girls don't appreciate the work Clinton did in the past - silly them judging her on who she is now.
You could say females flock to Bernie. hee.


Look, I don't align great symbolism to this, it was a thing that happened and everyone (apparently except Hilary fans) were amused. So Sanders got a little bit of good press. What I don't understand is why someone can't let this be and go on with their personal celebration and the good things that happen to their candidate but have to say every negative thing they can about it. It was no biggie, untwist those panties. everyone should be able to have some fun without having to tear someone down every minute.

[haikugal]

57. Yes you could say that and I don't think it's because of the boys either.

(What a disgusting thing to say)

I agree with the gist of your remarks but I'm a little unclear as to which camp you're talking about. Bernie supporters have endured months of abuse.

[hollysmom]

58. oh it is the bird thing driving people crazy, I swear I have never seen such weird stuff

Like a person posts a beautiful picture which can stand alone and then has to say this is better than the bird - why??? why say that? it is insane how people are trying to play down a fun moment. They had a gorgeous picture that could be enjoyed and they politicize it. I am convinced this means more to Clinton supporters than to Sanders supporters. He actually got a few seconds of good press and that should not be allowed!!!!

[haikugal]

59. Thanks for that clarity!

Yes! Yes! Yes! I view them as profoundly damaged but also products of our times. We need change in such a fundamental way for the world as well as ourselves.

Those little House Finches are endangered by climate change...that's the take away for me.

Thanks for your thoughts...today is a good day!
