I sent a message to snopes asking them to cover this photo controversy since they have TWO False ratings there now for Bernie photos.
1.) first is the non-bernie photo at Selma March (I have not seen any claims [edit to add "from Bernie"]that he was at the Selma March)
2.) a cropped photo from Rocky Horror Picture show in which snipes writes that it is "apparently intended as a joke"
so there are two "false" bernie photos and no "true" photos
