Before mouthing off you might want to do a little research instead of listening to Hannity, Rush or Fox in general..
The Warren campaign last night sent statements from deans and faculty at four universities where Warren taught, attesting that her ancestry never came up in the hiring process.
Amazing how people who insist that we need to use affirmative action to make up for the systematic abuse of minorities also insist that they never actually consider minority status when hiring people. That leaves me to one inescapable conclusion, they are full of shit. They are either lying about the need for affirmative action, or they are lying about actually using it. Given that every single university she worked at took notice of, and published, the fact that she claimed to be a Cherokee, guess which way I am leaning.
At first, he found no link between WarrenÂ’s family and Native Americans in her native Oklahoma. But Monday afternoon, he discovered a few links. WarrenÂ’s Great-great-great grandmother , O.C. Sarah Smith, is listed on her sonÂ’s 1894 marriage license as a Cherokee.
And the real reason for all the fuss:
If Scott Brown has questions about Elizabeth Warren’s well-known qualifications -- from her high marks as a teacher to her nationally recognized work on bankruptcy and the pressures on middle class families – he ought to ask them directly instead of hiding behind the nasty insinuations of his campaign and trying to score political points,” Warren’s campaign manager, Mindy Myers, said in a statement.
Scott Brown the coward...
It is not about her qualifications as a teacher, it is about her character and how that affects her qualifications to be a Senator. Tell me something, if she truly believed she was part Cherokee, and she only mentioned it in order to make it easier for her to find other Cherokees, which is what she claims, why has she never once tried to find other Cherokees or go to any gatherings that involve Indians at any of the schools she taught at? Why didn't she ever visit the many Cherokees that live in Oklahoma, where she grew up? Why did she suddenly stop claiming her heritage once she got to Harvard if she is so proud of it?
