Topic: Elizabeth Warren In Heap Big Trouble...Joins Ward Churchill's Tribe

Now you can add Liz as one of the diet programs and a fast and cheap way to lose weight. Look at a picture of Liz Warren part native American, Wassermann Schultz platitude queen, Nancy Pelosi botox queen, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Babs Boxer and Feinstein and it makes you want to

Why is it always Cherokee anyway?  Every one of these family legends is a Cherokee.  The Cherokee lived in the southern Appalachian region, and most of them were forcibly removed by the 1830s. I doubt they were "getting around" to the extent that the Liz Warrens of the world would have us all believe.

I think its because of that hippie song!

Elizabeth Warren brings no peace to Dems

Elizabeth Warren’s stumbling efforts to douse the firestorm surrounding her claims of being a Native American minority have raised concerns among local and national Democrats who are questioning her campaign’s competence.

“There’s nobody watching this that doesn’t think she’s in big trouble,” one well-known Massachusetts Democrat said.

Couldn't've happened to a better person...

Yup. Just came to post that too. Nice to see the Boston Herald scrambling to keep a shred of credibility after being ready to sweep it all away just days ago...

... “This takes her biography into a bizarre dimension,” said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics. “It has derailed the effort to define Warren in a voter-friendly way.”

Sabato also said that Warren’s claim that she didn’t list herself as a minority to gain an employment advantage is not believable.

“This is what happens when candidates don’t tell the truth,” he said. “It’s pretty obvious she was using (the minority listing) for career advancement...”

... After first saying she didn’t know anything about reports that Harvard Law had listed her as a minority, Warren’s campaign then said she was “proud” of her Native American heritage, citing records showing she was 1/32nd Cherokee. And in a rambling response on Wednesday, Warren went much further, saying her Native American ancestry was always a part of her life story, even though she had never talked about it publicly before.

Warren then recounted how a relative had told her that her Native American heritage was why her grandfather had “high cheekbones like all of the Indians do” — a response that critics have pounced on as perpetuating Native American stereotypes.

“That’s kind of racism,” Sabato said...

When you're a Democrat and other Democrats are saying you're "kind of" racist, you're in deep, deep doo-doo.

Oh oh...

Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate challenging Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts, has had to address her claims of Native American heritage, despite the fact that genealogists have not been able to confirm Warren is descended from the Cherokee tribe. Warren is a law professor currently teaching at Harvard and had listed herself for years as a Native American. She recently said she stopped this practice.

But Hillary Chabot at the Boston Herald discovered that Harvard Law still lists one faculty member as a Native American. But the university won't say who that person is:

Are Democrats about to lose the Senate seat held by the Kennedys since before I was born … again?  According to the Boston Herald’s Joe Battenfeld, a number of Democrats in Massachusetts are aghast over Elizabeth Warren’s faceplant on her claims to Native American heritage, and now worry about whether her campaign has completely derailed:

This just makes me feel all warm & fuzzy inside.

Cher - Half Breed [HQ]

[trapeze]

I hated that song when it came out and it hasn't improved for me with age.

Besides, for Warren it should be 1/32 Breed.

A caller on Limbaugh today said that this is like taking a tablespoon of brown paint and mixing it into a gallon of white paint and claiming that it was now a gallon of brown paint. Limbaugh didn't care for the analogy but I thought it was pretty accurate.

And they've both got high cheek bones.

I've never known anyone with low cheek bones .

Leftists: Defending the indefensible has become an art

But beyond the question of whether Warren “gamed the system,” isn’t the question of her identity and its deployment suggestive of something else? Doesn’t it show us that whatever its sins, America’s virtues have won — that we have become a plural society? If someone with Indian blood, no matter how little, is a Harvard professor and stands a chance of being elected to the Senate, might that suggest that the American experiment is working and that we live in a meritocracy?

So now, racism is alright, because it 'suggests that the American experiment is working...'

It doesn't show that at all. It shows that people think they have to lie to get ahead regardless of merit because they know minority status kicks you to the front of the line.

Mark Steyn's a hoot!

Alas, the actual original marriage license does not list Great-Great-Great-Gran’ma as Cherokee, but let’s cut Elizabeth Fauxcahontas Crockagawea Warren some slack here. She couldn’t be black. She would if she could, but she couldn’t. But she could be 1/32nd Cherokee, and maybe get invited to a luncheon with others of her kind — “people who are like I am,” 31/32nds white, and they can all sit around celebrating their diversity together. She is a testament to America’s melting pot, composite pot, composting pot, whatever.

Aw, don’t waste your time. Elizabeth Warren will be ahead of you checking the “right-wing madman” box on the grounds that she gets her high cheekbones and minimal facial hair from Genghis Khan. And “Julia” will be saying she was born conservative but thanks to Obama’s new Headcase Start program was able to get ideological reassignment surgery. And Barack’s imaginary girlfriend will be telling him that she’d be left if she could, but she’s right so she can’t, but she’d love to be left. So he left her.
