I don't know but I think it is him. Senator Tankerbell Feb 2016 #1

I get that bravenak Feb 2016 #7

Why are you pushing this? It is not important. It's a distraction. Is that why you are pushing it? thereismore Feb 2016 #10

Fine. bravenak Feb 2016 #12

The depths of this little episode of ratfuckery are truly unfathomable. mhatrw Feb 2016 #94

I do not know the answers!! bravenak Feb 2016 #98

Perfect summary of why this stinks and is not just "ho hum, who cares, not important, yodermon Feb 2016 #101

For God sake people - This has already been postsed here Ferd Berfel Feb 2016 #52

Bernie did not say it. But it is him. The photographer confirmed it. nt thereismore Feb 2016 #2

I think we need to hear it from him now. This is too much. bravenak Feb 2016 #4

What is too much? The photographer speaking out and saying he took a photo? JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #6

Fighting about it is so silly bravenak Feb 2016 #9

You're the one disputing what the photographer said, not me. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #15

WTH?! You're the one who posted it. JudyM Feb 2016 #107

I posted one question bravenak Feb 2016 #115

Why now? This is not important. His record is out there. nt thereismore Feb 2016 #8

Damn!! bravenak Feb 2016 #11

You are cracking me up! Then post something about black voters, not some photo of a white guy. nt thereismore Feb 2016 #17

But everybody is all interested in this. Sadly. Okay I will once people calm down. bravenak Feb 2016 #19

Busted! thereismore Feb 2016 #23

Yeah I can see how posting this OP furthers THAT notion. cherokeeprogressive Feb 2016 #72

So it's the victim's responsibility to clean up the mess and damage caused by liars? CoffeeCat Feb 2016 #76

No. Likely because it is not. nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #3

The photographer who took the picture disagrees with you. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #5

Why would you trust the photographer whatchamacallit Feb 2016 #13

Truer words have never been uttered n/t SheenaR Feb 2016 #33

. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #55

I, on the other hand, can see... dchill Feb 2016 #14

But there is a larger point to all of this. This is the proof that Bernie supporters use to say Squinch Feb 2016 #16

Sanders has never called himself a civil rights leader. Senator Tankerbell Feb 2016 #26

His supporters are saying he was a civil rights leader. He wasn't. Squinch Feb 2016 #42

Not all of his supporters say the same things. Senator Tankerbell Feb 2016 #49

He's getting lots of credit, as he deserves, for doing that Empowerer Feb 2016 #69

I don't disagree with what you're saying. Senator Tankerbell Feb 2016 #78

But the thing is that for kids of that age at that time, it WAS the most popular thing for Squinch Feb 2016 #77

I disagree with your reading of history on this issue. Senator Tankerbell Feb 2016 #81

Ok. But it was lovely having an interaction with an adult about it. Thank you for that. Squinch Feb 2016 #83

That is UTTER BULLSHIT. BillZBubb Feb 2016 #132

See post 83. It doesn't apply to you. Squinch Feb 2016 #136

What Squinch said . . . Empowerer Feb 2016 #51

One of his supporters has promoted him several posts today to "civil rights hero." Empowerer Feb 2016 #50

I wouldn't use that phrase. Senator Tankerbell Feb 2016 #53

Leader bravenak Feb 2016 #28

Whut? Nobody claimed Bernie was a civil rights leader. frylock Feb 2016 #39

Hey look! More lying!! jeff47 Feb 2016 #74

... sigh ... Squinch Feb 2016 #82

No he has never said it was him. Kalidurga Feb 2016 #18

Okay. bravenak Feb 2016 #21

A google image search reveals hundreds of pictures libtodeath Feb 2016 #20

Just say it was himself is good enough for me bravenak Feb 2016 #24

He has to answer to you? libtodeath Feb 2016 #30

He has to answer to the people of which i am one bravenak Feb 2016 #32

Hope he singles you out in his next speech then libtodeath Feb 2016 #46

Me too bravenak Feb 2016 #48

Best to stay glued to the tv,am sure it will happen. libtodeath Feb 2016 #60

No. bravenak Feb 2016 #63

He will answer you as soon as Hillary releases her transcripts. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #127

The Hillary defense, ok bravenak Feb 2016 #129

Does the derp ever end? Warren Stupidity Feb 2016 #22

No! I do not! bravenak Feb 2016 #25

No. Warren Stupidity Feb 2016 #27

Too bad. It is. bravenak Feb 2016 #29

I think the point is that the photo has been used to malign Sanders' integrity. femmedem Feb 2016 #56

I doubt it. But you'd think he'd be aware and ask them to pull it? Or maybe he thought it was bettyellen Feb 2016 #31

Dont feel bad. I eat all the time bravenak Feb 2016 #47

HA. I felt so bad when my friends found your batch and ate it all. But worse when my cat bettyellen Feb 2016 #54

Bernie doesn't spend a whole lot of time boasting about himself. frylock Feb 2016 #34

There are a lot of things that Bernie hasn't said - but that hasn't stopped his peeps from running Empowerer Feb 2016 #35

This is exactly what I see bravenak Feb 2016 #44

Exactly! betsuni Feb 2016 #119

You don't care what the answer is whatchamacallit Feb 2016 #36

Think so? Sad bravenak Feb 2016 #43

He used the photo in his "50th Anniversary March on Washington" video I posted few minutes ago Donkees Feb 2016 #37

Interesting bravenak Feb 2016 #41

It's really frustrating that Bernie won't play the game the way you want him to Fumesucker Feb 2016 #38

I guess bravenak Feb 2016 #40

I did some research on this in Nov '15 Jarqui Feb 2016 #45

Bernie. Didn't. Take. The. Picture. nt valerief Feb 2016 #57

But. He. Would. Know. bravenak Feb 2016 #58

No. He. Wouldn't. But. The. Photographer. Would. valerief Feb 2016 #59

His. Friends. Overruled. That. Photographer. We. Need. Bernie. To. Stop. This. Stupid. Discussion. bravenak Feb 2016 #61

His. Friends. Don't. Matter. The. Photographer. Knows. nt valerief Feb 2016 #64

Was not close to bernie or bruce. Just a photog bravenak Feb 2016 #66

Not necessarily. thesquanderer Feb 2016 #80

I didn't post the OP. You're responding to the wrong person. nt valerief Feb 2016 #85

Whoops, sorry! Weird... thesquanderer Feb 2016 #87

As Jeb! say: Stuff happens. valerief Feb 2016 #88

Yes but he clearly knew that the OP would be demanding proof libtodeath Feb 2016 #79

I read it was posted on his website BainsBane Feb 2016 #62

I think he took it down bravenak Feb 2016 #68

That's good BainsBane Feb 2016 #71

It really wasnt helpful bravenak Feb 2016 #84

I don't care if it is Luke Skywalker in that photo KeepItReal Feb 2016 #65

I dont care who it is either bravenak Feb 2016 #67

OK, try this then: Squinch Feb 2016 #89

Clinton's Evolution on Civil Rights in the 60s from a primary source: KeepItReal Feb 2016 #93

Which is acknowledged in that article, but it goes deeper into the reality. Did you read it? Squinch Feb 2016 #95

I don't need some blogger's research when I have Hillary's own words. KeepItReal Feb 2016 #96

Too bad. It's a very interesting juxtaposition of two life paths. Nothing to be afraid of. Squinch Feb 2016 #97

"Nothing to be afraid of." KeepItReal Feb 2016 #99

Yes. That's what I said. Squinch Feb 2016 #100

Bernie does not spend much time talking about himself. He prefers to stick to the issues. tk2kewl Feb 2016 #70

It really doesnt matter i think he was in the crowd in one photo and at the podium in another bravenak Feb 2016 #73

So if it doesn't matter why did you post the question as an OP? tk2kewl Feb 2016 #75

DU rec for all kinds of reasons...nt SidDithers Feb 2016 #86

Very important topic. bravenak Feb 2016 #92

Is it time for "Is this Bernie?" already? kiva Feb 2016 #90

It was on the schedule, did you get your calendar? bravenak Feb 2016 #91

No, and I want it! kiva Feb 2016 #108

Allright bravenak Feb 2016 #109

Pretty packed schedule. kiva Feb 2016 #110

Not much time left bravenak Feb 2016 #111

Then women's history month in March. kiva Feb 2016 #112

Gotta find some breastfeeding scandals in tacobell bravenak Feb 2016 #113

But then it would be a kiva Feb 2016 #114

Me too, later! bravenak Feb 2016 #116

Just "asking questions" eh? Jester Messiah Feb 2016 #103

Don Lemon? bravenak Feb 2016 #104

More like Cavuto. [nt] Jester Messiah Feb 2016 #105

Thats not polite bravenak Feb 2016 #106

Neither is what's being done to Bernie's record. Jester Messiah Feb 2016 #123

His record is not in danger bravenak Feb 2016 #124

Perhaps not so many as you'd like to believe. Jester Messiah Feb 2016 #126

It doesnt matter what i believe bravenak Feb 2016 #128

True enough. Jester Messiah Feb 2016 #131

Yes, he did. HooptieWagon Feb 2016 #117

Can you tell me where bernie said that? bravenak Feb 2016 #118

Today I learned that photographers never make mistakes when identifying their subjects. betsuni Feb 2016 #120

Me too. This was a stupid day bravenak Feb 2016 #121

I was reading threads about the smoking photo this morning betsuni Feb 2016 #122

I know. I just cant figure today out bravenak Feb 2016 #125

And you contributed mightily to that! BillZBubb Feb 2016 #133

Ditto! bravenak Feb 2016 #135

Did Hillary wipe her server with a tissue or a cloth libtodeath Feb 2016 #130

. bravenak Feb 2016 #134

I expect her to answer herself. libtodeath Feb 2016 #137

That really is the question. Letting surrogates propagate false memes is sneaky. ucrdem Feb 2016 #138

I agree with you bravenak Feb 2016 #139

I agree DesertRat Feb 2016 #140
