Jesus=Bernie

[Roy Ellefson]

Jesus, like Bernie Sanders, was a carpenter. Jesus, like Bernie Sanders, was a Jew. Jesus, like Bernie Sanders, quit the carpentry business to pursue other endeavors...Bernie entered politics while Jesus entered the the Savior business. These are some weird fucking coincidences that should encourage religious Democrats to support the candidate most similar to Jesus. Go Bernie.

and I voted to hide for "ordinary flameout".. nothing too grand.

2. He treats his fellow man the way he'd like to be treated.

It's really sad that some here are trying so hard to demonize him; particularly those who are using race as a wedge issue despite his civil rights history.

[yardwork]

75. Who is doing that?

[pacalo]

101. Please.n/t

[yardwork]

102. Seriously. Show me a post demonizing Bernie Sanders.

[BainsBane]

105. I'm gonna guess

that Dolores Huerta having the audacity to talk about being shouted down at a caucus site in Las Vegas constitutes demonizing Bernie. Oh, yeah. Plus polls of Southern states. Those are slander.

[pacalo]

111. Time for reconstructing a comment to suit your agenda!

[yardwork]

113. I thought you were leaving?

[yardwork]

[yardwork]

131. Remember, facts are the enemy!

[1StrongBlackMan]

217. And we can't forget about all that pointing out the behavior ...

of Bernie's supporter regarding NRN and BLM.

And dare say I, all us Black folks with the nerve to say addressing systemic racism is more important to us than free college (because addressing it will mean we won't need free college; and, without addressing it, we won't able to take advantage of it).

[BainsBane]

238. There you go

Dividing people again.

[1StrongBlackMan]

239. Yeah ... I know. eom

[pacalo]

108. Goodnight.

[yardwork]

110. Link?

[pacalo]

126. That's a direct quote, silly.

[yardwork]

130. I'm asking for any evidence of somebody demonizing Sanders on DU.

A link, a quote, something.

Or I'm calling bullshit on your straw man.

[pacalo]

141. Look around in the GD:P forum.

You're asking me to name names & I don't appreciate it.

[yardwork]

152. Then send me a PM. Any link or quote of a DUer demonizing Sanders.

[pacalo]

159. Sorry, you've lost my trust.

I valued your pm's of support during the Meta forum's existence & you had my unwavering loyalty in return. I'm not getting your disingenuousness here.

So, no, I will not be exchanging pm's with you.

[yardwork]

160. Sounds like you don't have a single post to point to.

You should retract the accusation that Hillary supporters demonize Sanders if you can't find a single piece of evidence.

[pacalo]

169. Disingenuousness -- got it.

[TeeYiYi]

187. OMG! roflmfao...

I don't know why it's so funny.

[Warren DeMontague]

185. you mean like this one?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1319635

[yardwork]

213. Those appear to be statements of facts. Where is the demonizing?

[Warren DeMontague]

222. The deliberate misrepresentation around the article he wrote in 73 is mind-bogglingly inane.

Trying to spin what was clearly a critique of then-contemporary social and sexual norms, as well as gender roles and relations- dated, to be sure, but pretty average for the era- as a "rape fantasy article", like its a letter to penthouse forum- come on.

And it would seem the jury agreed, there.

[yardwork]

225. "Inane" is very different from "demonizing."

[Warren DeMontague]

229. No, its demonizing. Its demonizing to call him a rape fantasizing pervert, which is the gist of it

And belive me, ive seen that shit repeatedly, especially when that "scoop" came to light.

[beam me up scottie]

227. The denial is strong in this one, Luke.

[BainsBane]

247. The initial claim

was affirming the comparison to Christ and lamenting his being cast, allegedly, as a racist.

[Warren DeMontague]

261. the now-banned returnee who posted the thread even admitted themselves that they were fuckin' around

but I do apologize for derailing the ridiculousness with something approaching a serious answer about something.

[BainsBane]

263. I'm very sad he was banned

I was hoping for more hilarity. I expect he'll be back though.

[Warren DeMontague]

264. "Sure as the sunrise!"

As they say.

[beam me up scottie]

191. Seriously?

According to Hillary supporters on DU Bernie is Israel's #1 shill, an American Big Jew, pro gunner that thinks women enjoy being raped, that we should abolish pedophilia or rape laws, is a racist, gun nut, draft dodger, scheming little sneak, socialist throwback jackass, drooling sweating old fool, scumbag, pandering phony braggart with some kind of emotional instability, tool for the NRA, Republican man with his head between women's legs, who protects the minutemen militia, pedophiles, racist cops, has rape fantasies, thinks that orgasms prevent cancer, wants guns in the streets, is trying to suppress the black vote, has a nest egg in Israel, and is supported by Stormfront.*

I'm not linking to the posts because people alert on links but they can all be found in my journal.

You're welcome.





*Note to jury: poster asked for proof and there it is. No one was called out and this post contains no personal attacks. Thank you for serving.

[DemocraticWing]

196. He's supported by Stormfront??

Man, somebody over there is gonna be really disappointed then!

[beam me up scottie]

197. Right?

Apparently they didn't read their handbook.

[yardwork]

214. In search of actual evidence, I went to your journal.

You are talking about the Daily Post calling Bill Clinton a rapist.

[beam me up scottie]

216. Nice try but that's not the only post in my journal now is it?

In search of actual evidence, I went to your journal.

You are talking about Bill Clinton being a rapist.

And nice reframing of that particular post since I never talked about Bill being a rapist, I was correcting an edited NY Post article.

Those things have all been said about Bernie as well as many others, scroll down for the post/links, you'll find them.





Note to jury: poster is asking for links and they're in my journal, linking to posts on DU is not a violation of community standards or the tos agreement.

[beam me up scottie]

219. Why are you claiming I called Bill a rapist? My post is right there for all to see:

My comments are bolded, this is an exact copy paste:

Larry Sanders did not call Bill Clinton a rapist, the NY Post is tabloid trash.

He was faulting the media for their coverage of the Clintons, here is the original article:

“The media have a lot to answer for, I think, you don’t get that detailed discussion. You get: ‘Is Hillary a nice person? Is Bill really such a terrible rapist or is he a nice rapist?’ It’s at that level the discussion—so you can imagine that people could have a pleasant opinion but not based on the actual policies.”

Larry is at pains to point out that they have real respect for Hillary. (The Clinton campaign did not respond to a request for comment.)

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/02/19/bernie-sanders-s-brother-he-backs-class-warfare-bill-clinton-was-worse-than-bush.html

The Post edited the comment, this is how they "reported" it:

“Is Bill really such a terrible rapist — or is he a nice rapist?” Larry Sanders told The Daily Beast, asking the question he said is on most people’s minds when it comes to the former president, whose wife, Hillary, is in a showdown with Bernie Sanders for the Democratic presidential nomination.

This kind of right wing trash doesn't belong here, it smears both Bill Clinton and Larry Sanders.

You should be ashamed of yourself for pulling a stunt like that.

[yardwork]

220. I see now that you're quoting somebody else. I'll correct my post above.

Sorry. I misunderstood.

I still see no evidence of DUers saying what you claim.

[beam me up scottie]

221. So you refuse to scroll down and read the post therefore it doesn't exist?

It's the fifth post down titled "Nothing beats the vile smears coming from your associates"

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.










Note to jury, I didn't link to any posts so disregard the alert, this post contains no personal attacks. Thank you for serving.

[yardwork]

224. I scrolled quite a bit and saw nothing like what you claim in your post above.

Consider this - you were upset (rightly so) when I mistook your journal entry to be words you didn't say. Imagine how those few of us on DU who support Hillary feel when you accuse us of all the horrible things in your post above, then provide no proof?

yoy are putting words in our mouths that we never said.

[beam me up scottie]

226. The post is right there, 5th one down, but keep deflecting and denying.

I'll let others who are reading this exchange be the judge of which one of us is making false claims.






Note to jury: poster asked for evidence of demonizing, the links/posts are in my journal, the proof is in the pudding as they say. No person(s )were harmed by this post. Thank you for serving.

[peacebird]

230. John Lewis. "i never saw Bernie..." Of course he had to walk it back after photos surfaced

Jonathon Capehart - who claimed the photos were not actually Bernie... He had to walk it back after the photographer himself produced contact sheets that clearly showed it was Bernie

Many posts here about both of these Camp Weathervane efforts to smear Bernie. (Lewis is a Hillary superdelegate & capeharts significant other worked for Hillary)

Why oh why is this such a humorless site? I'm a Sanders supporter...I'm clearly being facetious with this post (although the connections between Bernie and Jesus are eerily similar)...come on motherfuckers on both sides take this goddamn post for the joke it was intended and laugh the son of a biotch off...come on lighten up. Goddamn it I don't think Bernie=the mythical Jesus...I haven't drank the goddamn koolaid...I'm a 57 year old radical white dude who supports Bernie Sanders because I think he stands for what the Democratic Party stands for...he isn't some goddamn fucking god figure...he's just a vehicle for an often maligned movement that has been simmering at the core of the Democratic Party.

As a fucking idiot who grew up in a devout Socialist Irish Roman Catholic family I leave you with this bit of wisdom

[BainsBane]

52. Humorless?

Not at all. Your OP is brilliant!

99. Actually, he explained his "religion" tonight...

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"...

I thought it was a universal message that transcended any one particular religion. I didn't like Chris' question, which seemed to bait whether or not he was practicing "a religion". I notice that this theme came up for both of them tonight.

[yardwork]

109. Sort of like how his surrogates treated Dolores Huerta!

Your religion is strange to me but I'm starting to figure it out. Treat lots of people badly while saying you're saints. Got it.

[MrMickeysMom]

120. You say "surrogates"... Who exactly ARE these people?

Are you saying me?

What does this have to do with the religious answer provided tonight? Are you saying that the "surrogates" = what Bernie Sanders was supposed to have said to Dolores Hurerta?

Your logic is strange and needs some clarification.

[BainsBane]

125. Golly, when it comes to Clinton

anyone who doesn't despise her is declared a surrogate. I've seen Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow called surrogates for Clinton. News publications printing stories are described as not just surrogates, but Clinton herself.

I don't suppose we could arrive on a common definition that extends to both campaigns?

[yardwork]

128. I agree it's strange but it's not my logic.

The hero worship of the senator from Vermont has led to extreme bullying and a disgusting show of white privilege from his supporters, all while they pat themselves on their backs and congratulate themselves for being so progressive.

[MrMickeysMom]

148. Well, if it's not your LOGIC, then what is true about what you're saying?

So far, you followed someone else's logic... Who's, we'll never know about the hero worshipers? Well, how can anyone reference what you say? AM I supposed to be one of them you describe?

You see, this is kind of insane, because when you used what are basically weasel words to verify where that logic came from to describe bullying and disgusting and shows of white privilege, but couldn't explain where it comes from (I'm either watching the wrong video, cause it sure wasn't that Susan Sarandon video), I begin to think you're just a very angry person who thinks anyone who believes Bernie Sander's message does so because they hero worship and that this produces the people who live in your head.

Yeah... It's strange, alright.

149. huh?

wow that's just fucking weird...and stupid.

[BainsBane]

151. Oh come on

[TeeYiYi]

153. !...

TYY

[BainsBane]

154. (sorry)

I thought you were serious. Then I checked and saw you aren't even a host.

[Roy Ellefson]

157. !!

excellent

[TeeYiYi]

158. lol...

Ain't got no lockin' powers, for real.

TYY

[Roy Ellefson]

147. that settles it

if the election were held today I would be all in for effin' Jesus H. Christ (assuming he was running.) That being said how can we be sure he'd be on our side?

[Fronkonsteen]

161. From one lurker to another

Like the post, got the humor. Unfortunately, there's a gang on DU now who take great pleasure in shitting on anything honest and heartfelt. They're tortured souls. Ignore them.

[Vote2016]

162. Who are Jews who pissed off the money changers, Alex?

[fbc]

172. Jesus knows you get better rates with your ATM card.

[Agschmid]

166. Um...

I ask again...

Everyone okay with this?

[Roy Ellefson]

173. actually...my reasons

actually I posted a thread thanking HRC supporters for being so kind in a previous thread. It was actually quite flattering but evidently I used the effenheimer a bit too much. Weird...I thought I was being kind.

[yardwork]

180. I think it was your fellow Bernie fans who shut that down.

As you noted, we Hillarians have a sense of humor. I appreciated the shoutout.

[cyberswede]

182. "The effenheimer"

I adore you!

Sorry your post was hidden.

[TeeYiYi]

171. I think you're the only one...

...that's not laughing.

TYY

[Agschmid]

174. This... So much this.

[ucrdem]

176. Well it's lent so here's my take: it works until you get to the 40 days in the desert.

That's the lent connection. The story goes that Satan tempted Christ with the world and Christ said get lost. Well, when Karl Rove started putting those AmericanCrossroads ads up, Bernie should have done the same. Maybe he will. There's still four and half weeks left of lent!

[PeaceNikki]

177. So... This is going well, huh?

[Warren DeMontague]

164. Je suis bernie?

[alcibiades_mystery]

165. You know a thread went really well when the author posts a "I was just testin' you" follow up

And it gets locked.

[Agschmid]

231. And then boom, they get locked out of this one.

[alcibiades_mystery]

233. ROFL

Epic.

[Gene Debs]

167. Jesus had a Brooklyn accent. Bernie has a Brooklyn accent.

[Warren DeMontague]

170. 5-4 = Unity

[californiabernin]

175. LOL!

Sorry, but that really made me laugh...you are right about the similarities of course. Go Bernie!

[TIME TO PANIC]

179. I'm not sure this isn't trolling, but its fucking hilarious.

[lunamagica]

181. An then they claim they don't think he is perfect...

What a cult-like following. It's scary.

[Matariki]

200. I'm embarassed for you

[6chars]

202. Bernie is 5 letters, Jesus is 5 letters.

Jesus gave a sermon on the mount, Bernie is from Burlington Vermont.

I think you are onto something.

[Warren DeMontague]

211. Jesus wore Sandals, Bernie's last name is Sanders

damn!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

204. Bernie can part the Red Sea

Just like Moses

[gwheezie]

205. You never see Jesus and Bernie in the same room, do you?

Think about that.

[Number23]

208. !!!

[Warren DeMontague]

210. pffffft, there's a whole long list of DU "members" who never post at the same time, too

it's not just ye loaves and fishes what multiply by magic, matey.

[shenmue]

206. Whatever that was, put it down

[Warren DeMontague]

212. Screw that!

[betsuni]

207. Blessed are the cheddar cheese makers.

[Warren DeMontague]

209. I had to rec this bad boy.

I mean, come on.

[greatauntoftriplets]

241. Blessed are they who sit on hot stoves...

for they shall rise to great heights. ~ my mother

[betsuni]

243. What. If you have yeast in your pants?

[greatauntoftriplets]

244. Yeast infections are tough.

[sufrommich]

215. .......

[betsuni]

223. MY FAVORITE! Wondered why nobody's posted this before.

Miss Jay is the best.

[Buns_of_Fire]

232. Bernie has been in Clinton, Iowa. Hillary once met a man named Bernard.

Coincidence? I think not.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

234. I hereby invoke Poe's Law. nt

[beaglelover]

237. This is just a tad over the top, don't you think?

[PeaceNikki]

240. Instant DU classic thread.

[NCTraveler]

242. I posted that the religious equations and verbiage being used by Sanders supporters was out of hand.

I was met with post after post calling me full of shit and that no one has done such a thing. lol. This isn't the first "carpenter" post.

[NastyRiffraff]

245. OMFG!!!

This is priceless! I've got lots of water (Deer Park..the good stuff!). Can Bernie change it into wine? I prefer Merlot. I'll change my allegiance instantly if he can!

[Orsino]

246. He may not have the abs, but he's got the chops!

And similar views on capital punishment, I imagine.

[beevul]

On Wed Feb 24, 2016, 12:49 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Jesus=Bernie
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511322278

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

OK, this takes the cake. Bernie is JESUS??!? So that makes Hillary who, Satan?

Hide this post and PPR this clown. The Berniebros have become unhinged, I guess at the realization of their impending annihilation on Super Tuesday, I guess.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Feb 24, 2016, 12:58 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If I had to describe anything as "unhinged," it would be the tone of this alert.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Quite a leap for the alerter to say that since one is Jesus the other HAS TO BE Satan. When did the Church Lady join DU?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sorry for your Butthurt, see a clinic or something.
These stupid alerts have become mine.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[beam me up scottie]

251. LMAO!. Love the juror comments!

[cyberswede]

249. Alas, poor Roy

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=261780&sub=trans

I thought he had his moments.

[BainsBane]

250. Aw. So sad

He had a brief moment of greatness. I shall miss him.

[stevenleser]

252. Yes, there should be an entertainment exemption. He was entertaining! nt

[sufrommich]

258. He's been raptured. nt

[cyberswede]

259. Will he return in 3 days?

[lumberjack_jeff]

253. Lighten up on the gas pedal, Mario.

Elected officials are not deities. They have jobs because of the consent of the governed - not divine right.
It is no less objectionable today than 2008.

[ismnotwasm]

254. This thread should last forevah..

[GusBob]

255. I think you got it backwards

Bernie=Jesus

[fun n serious]

257. Bump for fun nt

[FrenchieCat]

262. Bernie is an Atheist....

Regardless of what Culture/Faith he was born into,
Although you can artfully call his faith or lackthereof "humanist" or whatever!
Nothing wrong with that,
but whether you posted this as a joke or not,
I doubt Jesus = Bernie

But this thread is entertaining!

[Jenny_92808]

273. Jesus was a Socialist

per the book, that is mostly fairy tales.

[MaggieD]

265. I thought his supporters said he was MLK

Or was it the pope? I can't keep it straight.

[ismnotwasm]

266. It was FDR

And JFK.
