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 Warrens credentials, so much as it is about Elizabeth Warrens 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

Almost makes you feel sorry for poor Princess Summerfall Winterspring. Okay, not really.

Marxist Dialectic in
< oy facepalm >
lol
She's an Aryan princess white as the driven snow
At least she gets to keep the high cheekbones.....
LOL
I thought she was supposed to get Ted’s seat back.
Chief Sitting on pile of Bull#$&^.
Sandra Flukes take on the matter is that maybe Warren was not able to score a luncheon with another Indian but at least Harvard Law insures her for free birth control pills as a consolation if she got lucky with another dime store Indian
I did, however, once confess to it when the HR Department came around soliciting it (years after I was hired) because they needed data for an EEOC report.
She looks like a Swedish Indian...
Princess Lies Like Rug.
Princess Dances with the Truth.

CHEROKEE CHECKBOX
Tune: Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)
She took some small Cherokee ration
Put this on her information
"Native A," although it's slight
She checked the box even though she's white
Took a while till it was known
That Liz is Anglo to the bone
And all the claims she made before
Aren't Lizzie Warren's anymore
Cherokee Checkbox, Cherokee Pride
So proud you hold your cheekbones high
She took the whole Indian fable
Used it for her PC label
Though she's blond with eyes of blue
She's still a redskin through and through
Cherokee Checkbox, Cherokee Pride
So proud you hold your cheekbones high
But maybe someday when she's beat
Cherokee Checkbox will retreat
Will retreat
Will retreat
Will retreat
Will retreat
There are a lot of such unscrupulous types like that out there. I went to college with a boy from South Louisiana. He was as cajun as it gets, but because his surname happened to be of Spanish derivation, he was able to apply for and get additional financial support, despite the fact that his family had been in Louisiana for several centuries, and certainly were not discriminated against. In fact, at one point in time, they were the folks “in charge”.
By her reasoning, EVERY person in the South is African-American.
With her cheekbones, that's how Indian she is.
WArren is a wooden headed indian !!!!!!!!!!!
