The controversy over Elizabeth Warren's claim to Native American ancestry shows no signs of dying down, and is now threatening to derail her campaign for Republican Scott Brown's Massachusetts Senate seat.
Politico reporter Maggie Haberman has now uncovered Pa 1997 piece from the Fordham Law Review that refers to Warren as "the first woman of color" hired by Harvard Law School.
The piece cites as its source Harvard Law spokesman Michael Chmura, the same spokesman who bragged about Warren's Native American heritage to the Harvard Crimson in 1996.
Warren has so far dismissed the story, which first surfaced when the Boston Herald uncovered the Crimson article. She has said that she did not know Harvard was billing her as a minority professor, although identified herself as a minority on law professor listings until around 1995, and was also identified as a minority faculty member when she worked at the University of Pennsylvania.
The Brown campaign has seized the story, and is demanding that Warren release her law school personnel records to show whether her minority background had anything to do with her hiring.
“The question here is not about Elizabeth Warren’s credentials, so much as it is about Elizabeth Warren’s integrity and truthfulness and willingness to be transparent,’’ Brown's campaign manager Jim Barnett told reporters yesterday.
Conservatives have also demanded that proof that Warren is 1/32 Cherokee, as she claims.
Breitbart.com has turned the issue into a cause célèbre, publishing almost daily stories that claim debunk Warren's ancestry, including one alleging that one of Warren's forebearers actually rounded up Cherokees for the Trail of Tears.
Warren's response hasn't helped quell the firestorm. Despite first denying that she knew anything about the minority listing, she now repeatedly claims to be "proud" of her Native American heritage

What "color" would that be? If she were any whiter she'd be an albino.
What interests me more is how Harvard will handle this fraud.
Take her down, pulverize her, and spred her ashes in Haaavard Yard.
Too bad reading “1984” is [probably] not required in HS anymore.
More folks would see the Newspeak of the left for what it is.
Don’t believe your lyin’ eyes, believe what Big Brother tells you.
Well I’ll cut her some slack, since she provided the intellectual foundation for teh Occupy movement.
Dances With Whoppers.
Sounds like Squaw Sitting Red Commie is in heap big trouble and is going to get sent back to her teepee at Harvard by the voters.
Short term: they'll find a nice rug to sweep it under.
Long term: it's one more chunk of what's left of the prestige of academia flushed down the toilet.
In the internet world, universities are superfluous. They don't know it yet, that's all. And they're supposed to be so smart.
“Person of Color”
So? White is a color.
Dances With Nauseousness
On land where she was born
By the big state of Texas
Stood the house of Warren
Granddaughter of a princess
One so great great great great
She of the Cherokee state
Dark behind her rose the lie
Wanting to be a professor
Rose the lie for her to try
As a member of the feather
One so great great great great
She of the Cherokee state
Listed as a bona fide native
Diversifying the faculty a lot
Bedded soft in the affirmative
Rose the mighty in her spot
One so great great great great
She of the Cherokee state
Sold out integrity for a claim
As a princess of the feather
She had no need for shame
Got the entitlement together
One so great great great great
She of the Cherokee state
With a letter from her cousin
Stood the princess of the feather
Diversified the two dozen
Made the Harvard much better
One so great great great great
She of the Cherokee state
As her bright eyes lit the sky
Around the Harvard of the better
Had no shame from such a lie
She the princess of the feather
One so great great great great
She of the Cherokee state
Heard the whispers of her greatness
Chose to run for a Senate office
Now hears the jeering of her fakeness
Making all her friends so nauseous
One so great great great great
She of the Cherokee state
Heh, heh, the state of Oklahoma still owes me $50 because I’m 1/32nd Ocmulgee. That `settlement’ was announced back in 1972.
My Tulsa cousins are `Cherokreeks’. Go figure.
What Fauxcahontas needs to know is that many Indians are more redneck than redskin; they like their pickup trucks, their guns, hunting, & freedom.
New England Yankees just heap crazy!
;^)
I thought she was supposed to get Ted’s seat back.
Kickin’ Buffalo S***!

Well here you go. Warren was a republican in her 40’s when she first claimed native American heritage. So it’s a GOP problem, not the Dems, and she’s cleared now that she’s an OWS Democrat. lol
I thought that these liberal "academics" were supposed to be the smartest people to have ever populated that planet. LOL!
Ding, ding,ding!! Post of the day
What’s great is that Scott Brown doesn’t have to spend campaign money keeping this story going.
I’m working in Djibouti and now have a deep suntan, I wonder if I qualify as.... Oh, forget about it.
Jamie Dimon singlehandedly rescued her campaign. Kneeing bankers in the groin is what got her to where she is today. By putting bank regulation back front-and-center JPMC has almost guaranteed her election, fake Pocahontas or not.
FAUXCAHONTAS!!!!!! Hahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahaha
