Elizabeth Warren's "Pocahontas" Problem?

[Bandit3 the Worker]

This "issue" is the filthiest race-baiting I've seen in years, quite frankly.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

I think this is certainly a stupid issue and I hope it disappears rapidly, but how on earth is it "race-baiting"?

How is it not race-baiting? They had no reason to think Warren was lying about her ancestry, yet they claimed (with no basis whatsoever) she was using her ancestry to win preferences.

The Boston Herald is as guilty as Scott Brown is, quite frankly. This behavior is completely unbecoming of a supposedly mainstream paper.

Well, that pretty much settles it. Scott Brown is looking even stupider than before.

Warren contributed recipes to something called the Pow Wow Chow cookbook that were obviously copied from other sources, apparently violating copyright laws.  Wonder if the statute of limitations has expired?  At the very least she has a serious ethics problem.

The Scott Brown camp is really grasping.

Somehow the Globe missed the entire story!

Maybe the Globe is respectable.

Whoops. She lied.

No she didn't. Read the article again.

Whoops. She lied.

No she didn't. Read the article again.

She did. First she said she didn't know Harvard had her listed as a minority. Then she said she provided that information herself, which means she already knew.

"At some point after I was hired by them..."

After. Not before.

When she told Harvard she was Native American is beside the point. She claimed she never did so, but in actuality she did, even if it wasn't exactly at the time most people assumed. She lied.

When did she ever claim she wasn't part Native American?

She never claimed she wasn't part Native American, but she did claim she was unaware that Harvard had registered her as Native American until recently admitting (krazen posted a link) that she had told the university she was Native American.

The only thing the article proves is that she was telling the truth all along.

That article clearly demonstrates that she lied.

Go ahead. Live in denial. The proof she told the truth is right there in plain sight.

Brit Hume claimed tonight that Warren has failed to prove that she is even 1/32 Native American.

Ooh, Brit Hume said it. Now THAT'S epic fail!

[Bandit3 the Worker]

You know what? When I was about 27, my aunt told me that I'm 1/32 Cherokee. I've never seen any paperwork that proves it, but I believe her.

So if I say I'm 1/32 Cherokee, does that mean I'm "lying" just because I haven't seen the documentation?

[Bandit3 the Worker]

No but it doesn't mean you have the right to go around calling yourself a Native American.

According to the Census Bureau, I would. I might not meet the Cherokees' blood quantum, but I'd meet the Census Bureau's definition of Native American, as long as I identified as such.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Have you even looked at the article? She lied about registering as a Native American. She said she didn't, but she did.

I give up. Some people are just thick-skulled.
