Elizabeth Warren’s embattled campaign: Cherokee tie found 5 generations ago

Right, left, it doesn't matter. Warren is a ditz who only the radical left crowd could take seriously. She's a poorer choice than that Conklin woman, even in a liberal Massachusetts.

Yeah ... a ditz ... who's one of the most respected professors at Harvard Law, an acknowledged expert on bankruptcy law, an author, and the driving force behind the consumer protection bureau. How war-on-womeny of you. :D

Didn't Obama come from from Harvard Law? How many "most respected professors of Harvard Law" can America withstand? Case closed.

You mean that CFBP that Obama just stuck his guy in unconstitutionally?

You mean that CFBP that is a manner of control of the financial industry in this country that Stalin would be proud of?

That one....?

Yeah...We can do without another big government, total control, central government liberal/progressive/marxist in any position of power.

The Pocahontas shots can't be far behind.:lamo:lamo:lamo

Her autobiography will be called BURY MY CAMPAIGN AT WOUNDED KNEE

No, he didn't teach at Harvard. Ignorance of Harvard Law is not a defense. Case closed.
 
Yes, that's right. Apparently you are confusing the right-wing Herald with the left-of-center Globe.

Ahh... so it was a media hit job... :lol:
 
If Warren had not checked the box, the right would have excoriated her for denying her heritage.

If she hadn't checked the box.....there would be no discussion about her heritage at all. She did this as its seems to be important to liberals, its all blowing up in her face.

actually, no
those of us with mixed heritage have to make a choice
1/4 Cherokee heritage
do i identify myself as Native American or white
if i check 'white' then there is the potential someone would argue i did not properly classify myself
if i check 'Native American' then there is the possibility - such as is evident in this thread - that i am using my Cherokee heritage to gain personal advantage
it's a catch 22 of minor proportion

I know that applying for admission to college that almost every school alows you to check to check "other". And a decent percentage of schools allow you to check BOTH white and native american, which I've done before, since I'm also both. I've never seen an application that didn't at least have the "other" and they often have a little place to explain why you picked that if you want.

one would think those options would be pervasive
unfortunately, they are not
as a contractor for a (million+ population) municipal government, i had to make such designation within the past 10 days: choose one or the other. not both. no 'other' with an opportunity to be specific
i was limited to one choice or the other

If you actually read what he wrote he correctly suggested Obama came from Harvard Law-not that he taught there
 
Wow, you're really on the war-on-women path.

That is moronic a claim. calling a bitch a bitch is no more a "war on women" than you engaging in a war on the Church of Latter Day Saints due to your constant petulant carping about Mitt

LOL Pathetic. most of us on the right don't consider someone who might be one thirty second something to be part of that group.

OH COME ON

doesn't that face remind you of SITTING BULL (or BULL SITTING as the case may be?)

They are pervasive in college applications, and I would imagine the professors/admins are similarly treated.

yep, years ago I applied to teach con law at a local law school. I am a white man who graduated in the top quarter of my class at one of the best law schools in the country THe other candidate was bottom 15% at the other local law school but a black female. I was told that the ABA had criticized the school for having less a percentage of black law professors than black students so she was hired. She lasted 2 years. I got a much better job where I have been over 20 years but this sort of crap happens all the time.

IT is extremely rare for Harvard to hire someone who was a graduate of even a great school ranked below Harvard. Columbia, Penn, Duke, Cornell are all top of the shelf law schools but rarely will someone with a law degree from those schools teach at Harvard. Generally its Harvard, Yale and infrequently Chicago or Stanford. so when someone goes to a school not ranked in the top 50 you sort of say WTF?

Who would argue that? These classifications are meaningless and do nothing but create divisiveness.

Personally, white, hispanic, asian. When I see those boxes, I click them all....even Black or African American. If you go back far enough, we all originated out of Africa...right? If they only allow one "check," I click other.

Maybe, maybe not. In any case, as we know, the person who recruited her didn't even know about the cherokee thing, so it obviously wasn't a factor.
 
We can't have legislators who are more concerned with serving their country than they are with adhering to a partisan check list. That will never do!

If you mean running our country over a financial cliff as serving our country, I'd have to disagree with you.
