Minority Retort: Elizabeth Warren Better Be Able To Defend Her Ancestry Claim...

Native American group: Elizabeth Warren 'better be able to defend' her ancestry claim.


Ward Churchill Redux? -- A prominent Native American group says Massachusetts Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren had “better be able to defend” her past claims of being an Indian-American minority.

The Democratic candidate is facing questions about her heritage following the revelation on Friday that she described herself as a Native American minority in professional law school directories during the 1980s and ’90s.

“Once you put that down, you better be able to defend it,” Ray Ramirez of the Native American Rights Fund told The Daily Caller on Monday.

Warren, who no longer publicly refers to herself as Native American, has disputed that she claimed Indian-American minority status then to give herself a professional advantage.

Asked for evidence of her ancestry to back up the candidate’s past statements, a Warren spokeswoman told TheDC on Monday that the campaign is “working on digging up some sort of evidence to appease” inquirers.

But the campaign hasn’t been able to immediately provide any documentation. The Boston Herald reported Friday that the Warren campaign said the “tales of Warren’s Cherokee and Delaware tribe ancestors have been passed down through family lore.”

Ramirez said anyone who claims in writing to be a Native American should have some sort of supporting documentation. “If you’re a member of a federally recognized tribe, then that means you would have a tribal enrollment number,” he said.

“If you just heard it from family members,” Ramirez added, ”and really have no documentation, I guess it’s best not to ever put that down”...

Obama claimed he knew American Constitutional Law and that's a far more outrageous claim

Here's the key to the story. This fake bitch is busted big time unless she can prove her creds.

From Newsbusters:

Warren has claimed she did not mention her Native American ancestry when applying at Harvard, an assertion corroborated by Harvard Law School professor Charles Fried, a former U.S. Solicitor General under Ronald Reagan and member of the appointing committee that recommended hiring Warren at Harvard Law.

But this appears to be undermined by Warren being listed in the Association of American Law Schools' annual directory of minority law teachers from 1986 to 1995, as reported by both the Boston Herald, a conservative tabloid, and the left-leaning Boston Globe.

"Despite claiming she never used her Native American heritage when applying for a job, Elizabeth Warren's campaign admitted last night the Democrat listed her minority status in professional directories for years when she taught at the University of Texas and the University of Pennsylvania," writes Herald reporter Chris Cassidy.

According to the Boston Globe, "the listings were based on professors reporting that they were members of a minority group, the directory says."

Harvard was desperate to diversify it seems. Wasn't one of Obama's mentors leading the charge for more African Americans at the time as well?

Sorries, first coffee and my brain's not revved up yet.

Lying about one's background is a good way to get folks on the warpath.

 

[Neotrotsky]

Sure ya didn't! Now when it doesn't work to your advantage ya drop it! Good move nutjob! This moron, who called herself (then tried to distance herself) the leader of the OWS movement, shouldn't run her kid's lemonade stand, much less the Federal government!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Of course she lied, she's a 1%'er

 

[The Rabbi]

Really it shouldn't matter.
But given the Dums have set the bar for candidates it is good to see one of their hand chosen get hoist on her own petard.

"Here’s the problem for you, Liz: We’re not talking some elaborate, arcane, confusing financial irregularity here that nobody can understand. Everybody gets this. It’s letting everyone think you’re something that you’re not. It’s letting stand the idea that you’re part of an aggrieved class of people. It’s a sin of omission, which is not as bad as a sin of commission — like, you know, the typical political ploy of pumping up resumes with fake claims of combat heroism and purple hearts. But it’s a huge problem nonetheless

What's so disturbing about the likes of Warren or Churchill, is that by their lies, fraud and deceit they potentially deprived a true minority of securing a position at their respective Universities.

I love the title of one article at the Daily Caller.

Well, here's something to recharge the birthers. It's ok with me if it keeps them out of mischief.

Just one more reason why I think Scott Brown is going to win his own full term. He also just recently received the backing of the former mayors of Boston and Worcester, both Democrats.
