First, a comparison of the old photos:


Photo's 3 & 4 are clearly Bernie Sanders.

Green Ellipse guy from photo#1 is Bernie from photo #3, taken from a different angle.
They have the same hair, the same clothes, the same watch, and are sitting in exactly the same position.

Green Ellipse guy from photo#1 is also Green Ellipse guy (the speaker) from photo#2.
The have the same hair, clothes, and shoes, and are holding the same small white book/notepad, The book is a little hard to see in photo #1, but you can tell it's there because you can see the shadow of the left hand, just beneath that hand. Something is in that hand, and it's small, white, and of the same shape.

The guy in the Red Octagon is NOT Bernie.
He has his hair parted in the left and has no sideburns, which is very different than the known Bernie in photos #3 & #4. Plus, if you accept that the Green Ellipse guy in photo #1 is Bernie from photo #3 taken at a different angle, then it's obvious that the Red Octagon guy can't be Bernie because (duh) Bernie can't be in a photo with himself.

So far we know that photos #3 & #4 are Bernie, and that photo #1 shows Bernie sitting just like photo #3, but from a different angle.

The speaker in the disputed photo (#2) is wearing the same shoes, clothes, and hair style as Bernie in photo #1. He is also is wearing the same clothes (same collared shirt under the exact same stretched neck sweater) and has the same hair style as Bernie in photo #4.

It pretty obvious the Bernie in photo #3 is also in photo#1. It's also obvious that the speaker is the same person sitting in photo #1, taken just before or just after he stood to speak.

In short -all 4 pictures are of Bernie.

If there's any doubt left, look at the speaker's hand, shown below. Compare them to Bernie's hand from recent photos, below.

Same lanky thumb, same crooked index finger, same lazy pinky finger, same "Bernie explains stuff" hand gesture that we've all seen dozens on dozens of times.

The speaker is Bernie Sanders, the photo's - then and now - show it, and the photographer's own word confirms it.

Unless you have real evidence that proves otherwise, kindly shut the hell up before you leave a stench on this primary season that can never be washed away.

1. Bernie!!!!

[demwing]

4. Oh, THERE you are!

[Autumn]

8. Bernie did grow up. Guess what movie I'm going to dig out and watch

[bravenak]

2. I think the hand thing is the more convincing part. Not that I'm convinced!!!!!

But we need more hand, those look like his

I need to see bruces hands too

20. Lots of people, thats why they post to me.

[Cheese Sandwich]

3. Brilliant analysis

The collar and neckline too, and sweater. And I think the wristwatch is also in photo #2.

[beyondbeyond]

15. The posture, too.

I read somewhere that his posture is not just older man but that he always had that. It is that forward head or forward neck posture. It's pretty obvious. (This supposedly can cause some pain but does not seem to keep Bernie down!)

Good work analyzing these photos, guys.

[FourScore]

27. And height. Apparently, Rappaport was much smaller. The man speaking is very tall.

As is Bernie.

[winter is coming]

30. If you look closely, you can see that he always had it.

I've known a couple of other people like that--had the shoulder stoop from young adulthood. And, come to think of it, they're all tall.

[dorkzilla]

33. Just going to say this

My husband has the same posture. My husband is warm, intelligent, cares about people, is mortified when any attention is on him and he's 6'2. He reached that height at 14, and a tall nerd isn't going to want to stand out.

Now me, I'm 5'6" and act like I'm 9 feet tall. But I'm also a jerk, so there's that.

[demwing]

40. As a 6'3"er, I'll say

It's because we subconsciously want to "normalize" our height, so we stoop, sometimes.

5. Well done. And a quote for some who still remain unconvinced, about pictures and other things.

The stiff and unbending is the disciple of death.
The gentle and yielding is the disciple of life.
Thus an army without flexibility never wins a battle.
A tree that is unbending is easily broken.

6. ooh but wait

isn't that an inverted pentagram in sector 7 of photo #4 ?
Its like being in grade school this election but instead of feeling young I feel really old .

9. Stench

Disgusting stench of political bullshit, and the odor of the rotting corpse of the Third Way "Democrats"

Time to clean house. Laugh all you like, it just makes us ever the more steadfast in our opposition to the decay.

7. At this link is a lovely photo of John Lewis from 1963, by Danny Lyon who took the Bernie photos

Just for ironic good fun and perspective on the photographer's work.

10. Very nice

I'm not sure that those who launched all of this shite realised that the photograph was taken by a well known and well respected photo journalist.

[Autumn]

11. Wow just WOW

Impressive work.

[lumberjack_jeff]

12. I am naive... but I expected better from the HRC camp. nt

[demwing]

18. I'm right there with you

hugely disappointed, to the degree that it makes twitch if I think on it too much

[tex-wyo-dem]

34. Bad thing is that…

I think we've only begun to see how low they will go.

[libtodeath]

26. Today has been a very ugly eye opening.

[pangaia]

32. I never expected better.

In fact I expect a lot worse to come.
It is not just the Clinton Camp.. it is all of it. The entire rotten Potemkin structure.

[SusanCalvin]

45. I didn't. nt

[Uncle Joe]

13. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, demwing.

[suffragette]

17. Looks like his sideburns extend well below his eyeglass frames, too.

Very different than the other guy.

[demwing]

19. You're right - just updated the OP

[suffragette]

22. Thanks. In the current pics, he's still rockin' the same sideburns

And his eyeglasses still hit them at the same point.

Great OP!

[demwing]

23. We gotta call them Sideberns

[suffragette]

25. Oh, yes!

[AzDar]

21. Excellent analysis.... we all know that it's Bernie. We also know that the Clintons and their

lackeys are dirty and desperate.

[amborin]

24. Excellent analysis! Thanks! Hope this gets widely disseminated!

[Trajan]

28. More analysis than the Zapruder film?

Nah, but pretty impressive work, nonetheless ...

Thank you!

[CentralMass]

29. I can hear the teeth gnashing from here...

[pangaia]

31. I like the hand/finger bit.. Cool!!

I never wold have picked up on that.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. Standard Republican tactic....

You don't have to actually WIN an argument.

All you have to do is muddy the argument enough so your target audience has doubt.

[SusanCalvin]

39. Well, this dispelled my doubt.

42. I read some overzealous Henry's supporters went into the archives and changed the picture captions..

I have yet to see if the gravedancers are dancing a new jig.

[AlbertCat]

36. Like how a flower opens or how the pyramids were built, we may never know....

Oh wait!

We know exactly how both those things were done.

Never mind.

[SusanCalvin]

37. I appreciate this. However,

It should not even be necessary, unless people are saying a respected professional photographer is incompetent or a liar.

[demwing]

43. You're right - it should not be

But it seemed as if it was necessary.

When Skinner started to jump in, it set me to this. Pissed me off, actually, but we take our motivation from whenever and wherever it comes, right?

[SusanCalvin]

44. Oh yeah, I totally understand and appreciate. nt

[JDPriestly]

38. K&R.

[Enthusiast]

41. Kicked and recommended!

Thank you, demwing.
