Massachusetts: shaming itself yet again.

Warren and her boss Obama will soon feel the wrath of the voters. Both are lying hypocrites. Obama, who I expect to lose in a historic landslide in November, will then have even more time to spend on lavish parties, golf, and visiting his Hollywood buddies.

How long til Lizzy brings up Brown's photo shoots again? I would love to hear more about her involvement with the insurance companies denying claims to the people who became sick with mesotheleoma.

warren lied and used the race card 3 times to get into 2 colleges,and get a job at harvard.then she decided she didn't want to be a minority anymore.. no wonder obama likes her .she lies just like him,over and over again

I have to say that I am stunned by the vocal Patch readers who think that Warren intentionally lied on this issue. The article linked above doesn't list one school that said they were aware of her minority heritage when hiring her. She says (in the article) that her family continued the oral tradition of passing down stories from their American Indian ancestors, which to me, shows the utmost respect for her heritage.

My son asked me to today if we had been in the US for more than 4 generations, because a Discovery Channel show said that then we likely have American Indian ancestors. I told him that I knew we had relatives on my father's side that had been here since the Revolutionary War, but I honestly didn't know if we had any American Indian ancestors. At least her family (accurately) remembered and respected their heritage!

People are sick of what politicians are doing and saying. I am sorry you are shocked by people's disgust for what is happening.

In other news. Yahoo forced its CEO to resign for stating on his resume that he has a degree in Computer Science instead of Accounting.

A comment on this thread was deleted for violating Patch's terms of use.

While working in the Obama administration, Warren helped craft the bailout bill that allowed Wall Street execs to pocket millions in bonuses. How is that "standing up to the big boys and fighting for the middle class?"

This is a manufactured issue. People who claim that Warren lied about her heritage to scam the affirmative action initiative know absolutely zero about how a RECRUITED candidate is sought out for a tenured position at a major law school. It may shock these folks to learn that one NEVER, REPEAT, NEVER applies for this type of position. These positions are subject to extensive review and are the purview of a special search committee that is expected to recruit and convince the individual of a school's interest. She was thoroughly vetted by Harvard and UPenn law schools - her heritage had nothing to do with her being hired as a tenured professor.

One is RECRUITED and does not 'check off a box re: heritage' before being considered. But don't let facts get in the way of Republican trolls.

Mary just to clarify, it's not that fact that Liz has been exposed as an utter fraud that bothers you? The Cherokee Nation has now denounced her as a fraud. It's the Republican trolls who claim that she lied to scam the affirmative action system that do?

Just to clarify, Richie, but the schools who hired her reiterate their support for her candidacy. Fact, Richie, there is no evidence that at the time of her recruitment to either law school, there was any discussion by HER of her heritage. She did NOT indicate any NA ancestry at the time of her recruitment nor for her college applications. Refute that.

On another note, I am very concerned about Brown. I do not support his agenda or his voting record, which is clearly not that of an "independent voice for MA." He votes the R party line, according to the dictates of Mitch McConnell, a reprehensible toad if there ever was one. The only time Brown is allowed to cross the party line is on a vote that ultimately doesn not matter. So much for integrity.

I don't need to refute anything. The Cherokee Nation did it for me. And as much as it may hurt her acolytes to accept, remember she's the one who checked off the NA box. Maybe she's right. Maybe she did check off the NA box so she "would be invited to the luncheons". Maybe grandpa did have "high cheekbones like all the indians do". Maybe the "ancient marriage license" that she claimed as "proof" of Cherokee heritage that has now been proven to never have existed, did exist. And her latest claim is "My cousin wrote a recipe for a Native American cookbook." What a pathetic fool. It's ironic that you mentioned integrity. I think any person who falsely & shamelessly claims to be something that their not (even after being exposed as a fraud by her own alleged tribe) speaks volumes about their character. Like you said Mary "a reprehensible toad if there ever was one".

Richie,

You can continue to hammer away at Cherokee nation status or non-status all you want, but I do think that most serious voters are moving past this issue and taking a look at what is really at stake. It is Scott Brown's voting record and try as his acolytes may try, people will want to compare his empty words ("I'm an independent vote for MA") and match those up with his voting record. It is not a pretty sight.

Brown knows this and he is trying his best to distract people in any way possible. Whether that works or not remains to be seen. I am not a one-issue voter; rather I take a look at the whole picture and make my decision on that basis. I don't have to agree with any candidate 100% on all fronts because that is very difficult, but I do have to believe in my candidate and I do not believe in Brown's word. He is NOT the independent person he claimed to be in the last election. That, and examining his voting record, (which I have done and always do before casting my vote for anyone), and I will not consider his candidacy in the next election. You feel the same way about Elizabeth Warren, so we shall neutralize each other's vote.

I think any person who falsely & shamelessly claims to be something that their not (even after being exposed as a fraud by her own alleged tribe) speaks volumes about their character. Like you said Mary " a reprehensible toad if there ever was one".

" There's nothing to indicate she's Cherokee. Her family is found nowhere among Cherokee records. We have serious issues in indian country. There are living conditions that are sometimes worse than in third world countries. She (Warren) has no clue these issues even exist. Yet she (Warren) thinks she can pretend to be an indian and benefit from it. So it is important to talk about this because these are the people that she's stepped on to get where she is today."
Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes.

Right. And Scott Brown, a shill for the nutcase Republicans, will do what for Native Americans? Give me a break.

Warren has campaigned tirelessly for regular folks rights, which is why she's been so targeted for manufactured issues (aka smears) like this. Richie, you're either a troll or what the Repiblicans love: a victim who can easily be convinced to attack anyone who would help him. Either way, I feel sorry for you.

Please don't feel sorry for me RW. Although your insincerity is appreciated, I think your tireless champion of regular folks rights needs your sympathy more than I do. On top of being exposed as a fraudulent Cherokee Indian by her own alleged tribe, she's now facing accusations of plagiarism for her contribution of " special recipes passed down through the Five Tribe Families" to the Native American cookbook ; Pow Wow Chow. Look it up. She plagiarised the recipes word for word. I can only imagine the disappointment you feel, as it appears by the angry tone of your remarks that you are definitely smelling what Liz is spreading. But that's your right. So I ask you to save your disingenuous empathy for your tireless heroine of the regular folks. Because like Liz says "middle class isn't a number, it's a place in the heart". Aww.

AvB
RW I think you're wrong about Richie, he's not 'either' a troll or a victim; he's a troll & a victim.

When policy and voting record clearly show Brown is a politician who's goal is to work for Wall Streets's agenda at the expense of the middle class - he and his shills follow the Rove game plan and smear his opponent.

You liberals need to get over "she's for the middle class" nonsense. She's for Lizzy. Its like when a town needs more money for schools and they claim "its for the children". Rubbish! Its to pad the pockets and pensions of public employee unions. Lizzy is just another Communist carpetbagger, like Deval, who thinks you need to work 10 months out of the year to pay for their "Communist State" instead of the 5 months you work now. Pretty soon these Communist Democrats will have your employer send Beacon Hill your check and they'll give you an allowance. Pinochio-hantas is a fraud!
