She has given clumsy answers, evaded questions, and for five weeks running allowed the story of her undocumented Native American ancestry to consume the entire Senate campaign in Massachusetts.
Thursday afternoon, my phone rang with Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren on the other end of the line, ready to talk. Finally.
On the phone, she spoke sometimes expansively and without the slightest hint of apology about her conviction that she has maternal roots from the Cherokee and Delaware tribes. I know who I am, Warren said. I know my heritage.
A moment later, in response to a question over whether she took any professional advantage of her self-identification as Native American, she said, I wont deny who I am, I wont deny my heritage, but I didnt ask for anything because of it.
Warren conceded for the first time that she is worried about how the issue of her self-identification as a Native American - which first surfaced in a Boston Herald story on April 27 - has overwhelmed virtually all other aspects of the campaign.
Of course Im concerned, she said. I decided to run for the Senate because the middle class has been hammered and Washington doesnt get it. I want to talk about Scott Browns voting record.
He has worked hard to make this campaign about anything else, even my heritage, and hes not spending time on what Massachusetts voters are concerned about, she said.
And so it went for the duration of a 30-minute telephone conversation, one in which Warren repeatedly and adamantly proclaimed that the law schools at Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania hired her as a professor because of her scholarship and teaching abilities, not to improve diversity on their faculties.
Both schools listed her on federal labor forms as Native American...

As I type ,I’m listening to our local Boston talk show. The guest is Jeff Kuhner and he and host Todd Feinburg are now discussing Warren buying and flipping foreclosed houses!
You go, chief squatting bull!
November.
Foxtrot.
Whiskey!!!!!!!!!
Have you any details?
Lieawatha keeps stepping in her cow pile of lies, but hey....she’s a Democrat....it’s what they DO!
a liar
I just read an article on FR about this...look it up.
Harvard’s motto is “Veritas”.....”truth”.....they’re going to need a new motto.
All jokings aside, this woman has tenacity (or an oblivious sense of entitlement), I’ll give her that.
Any R candidate would have bowed out by now.
“I wont deny who I am”
Oohh. Then she’s *admitting* she is a liar. That’s who she is, after all.
Howie Carr has a column about this , today.
“Both schools listed her on federal labor forms as Native American...isnt it against the law to lie on these forms??
Sorry, I forgot, we have laws we dont bother to enforce.”
Obama and Holder have publicly stated they will selectively enforce the law. The rule of law in this country has become political. There are so many laws in existence a government can easily find one with which to crush any individual citizen. By selectively choosing which laws to enforce and which not with respect to individuals, the government can keep its citizens in line and reward its supporters. The phrase, “Equal Justice Under Law” is meaningless.
The only thing the primary candidate has to say is if she gets away with this lie, imagaine what she will do once she hits Washington.
She can blame it on the firewater
No, you don’t deal in truth. You deal in name-calling, just like a middle-schooler. Big wow.
When Elizabeth Warren loses at the polls will she blame it on racism? Seriously though, who wants this mentally disturbed person in office? She’s batty.
She is a democrat which means she has no shame.
