30. That's It! Sanders is DEAD TO ME!

Thu Nov 12, 2015, 02:12 PM

Nov 2015

I take back everything nice I ever said about him. This is just too scurrilous. That rotten bastard. Smashing my hopes with his lies. Now that I know this "Bernie. No More.!"

FROM THE ARTICLE
“I’m thrilled with what Bernie’s standing for, and what he stood for back then,” said Rappaport’s former roommate, Stark, who is black. “It really hurts me he’s not getting a lot of play among black people.”

The photograph captures something of Sanders early life, his fellow alumni say—even if it’s not actually Sanders.

Kaufman said what’s important is that Sanders was there in 1962 and doing what he does best: agitating. “Bernie was leader in that, and he’s continued to make a life that way,” Kaufman said. “It’s a great picture that captures the moment.”

Bernie Sanders Civil Rights Campaign Photo .....Not Bernie? [View all] msanthrope Nov 2015 OP

Interesting. nt sufrommich Nov 2015 #1

Here's that photo and another taken of Bernie at about the same time. Same sweater, same glasses .. leveymg Nov 2015 #36

Looks like the same person to me. Since the last one is identified as Bernie, the first one must be. Qutzupalotl Nov 2015 #58

Don't look the same to me. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #90

His hair is shorter in the second photo, Qutzupalotl Nov 2015 #91

The school archivist says it's not Bernie, along with 4 classmates. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #93

Did Bernie lend him his sweater and glasses? Qutzupalotl Nov 2015 #99

Rapport has a smaller chin than Bernie does, also Rapport does not have side burns. Back then LiberalArkie Nov 2015 #109

Also, those aren't the same glasses - stems are thicker,solid color, not horn rim material. leveymg Nov 2015 #110

Yes, yes....the 4 classmates. It must not be him. Oh dear CoffeeCat Feb 2016 #126

Looks like the same undershirt, too... KansDem Feb 2016 #128

Memory fades over time. Sanders may be in the photo, may not. I wouldn't accuse him msanthrope Nov 2015 #9

It seems odd to not know if a photo is of you firebrand80 Nov 2015 #14
