Related: About this forumSanders-Rappaport ear comparison
I took this photo (Rappaport at top, Sanders at bottom)...increased resolution & sharpening, cropped, added recent Sanders photo (flopped to face same direction)
Top photo of Rappaport clearly has a different ear than the bottom two photos. Also the length of the philtrum (space between nose & upper lip) is clearly different in the top photo.

(29,265 posts)Rappaport's ear is situated much higher in relation to the nose than Bernie's --- closer to the eye level while Bernie's centers around mid-nose height. I can't believe I am writing this, but I did study some forensic anthropology. Also, Bernie's jawline is much longer and ends at the base of his earlobe, while rappaport's has a more obtuse angle and is shorter, terminating well under and in advance of the earlobe. The shape of rappaport's head is broader and shorter. I could go on... I would bet $ that the pic is not Rappaport. I can't say with such certainty that it's Bernie, but it's not Rappaport.

(711 posts)That's a Sanders' ear if ever I saw one.

(711 posts)But we all know he was there that day, at that "specific" rally. There's many, many undisputed photos of him within that same crowd, on that particular day... wearing that same damn sweater. lol That's a fact.
I like Bernie. He's an amazing fellow. He's fought hard for a lot of issues I care about.
Nevertheless, I choose Hillary. I really, really want for her to win. It doesn't mean I hate Bernie, or want to disparage his amazing past. Go figure?????

(62,444 posts)The photo of Sanders which Skinner coyly says is in dispute, is posted in the first reply.
The photo in dispute is the one showing the guy who stole Sander's sweater, shirt and watch.

(62,444 posts)That's the giveaway - the shoes are different, which can only mean that Rappaport was a tassle thief.

(51,076 posts)and to me the young bernie and the old bernie ear is the same, albeit as one ages the ear continues to grow. In fact as one ages the ear and nose continue to grow.

I just don't need any more nose or ear.

(51,076 posts)as you age all your scars migrate towards your belly button. Mind you most never make it that far but some do. I had a scar on my hip from a burn when I was a kid and as I aged I watched it slowly work its way to the belly button and now at 67 its totally gone. I have a scar on my leg from where I went through a fence on a cushman motor scooter and it was two inches above my knee at the time, now its half the way up my thigh. I may have grown an inch in height since I got the scar

(1,439 posts)Match Bernie's ear to one of the 6 photos provided by the photographer.
Then link the remaining 5 photos (including the disputed one) to the ear photo by matching the clothing.
It's him.

He says he took those photos of Bernie. I have no idea how this bruhaha got stirred up, but if this is the best the Clinton campaign has after the shellacking she got in New Hampshire, she is running a piss poor campaign.
Something needs to change in the management of her voter outreach if "I think it was somebody else that a *living* photographer took a picture of instead of Bernie Sanders amidst the dozens of photos already taken of Bernie in the middle of the civil rights debates, marches and sit-ins."
She needs to have a come to Jesus moment with her staff if that is what they consider a "Gotcha" moment.
Hey, let's say that a picture of Bernie Sanders, made by a guy that is still alive, isn't really Bernie Sanders! Yeah, the other people in the picture are alive, too, and can vouch for it, but wouldn't it be funny to see how much shit got stirred up?"
