    and what preferential treatment did she receive?

    There's no evidence that she got that by listing her name in the law directory that way - which was AFTER she was hired at Penn. You are just pulling garbage out of your bASSo again

    and she plagiarizes

    Why plagiarize for a cookbook? Why not just say 'I don't know any recipes' ?

    Elizabeth Paleface Warren's fake, manufactured biography, intended to advance her career, mimics what Obama did in fabricating a Kenyan birth history in order to add some flavor to his life story. He had 16 years to correct the record with his publicist, the AP, the Honolulu newspaper (!), family members' account of his birth, etc. Obama lied. Paleface lied. They are both frauds.

    I do not think the big evidence will be brought forth until it is too late from a practical standpoint to choose another Democratic candidate. Because of this, I'd expect a slow drip of information to keep this story alive, culminating in some bomb dropping after the election. Something is there -- you can tell by the behavior of Obama's handlers.

    Correction: bomb dropping after the convention, not the election.

    indeed, and i think Roger Simon is likely correct in tying faux-bama's dissembling to his academic records. probably explains why we've never seen them- at some point, he said he was born in kenya, and got a scholarship, or some other favorable treatment.

    Fauxcahontas update: Liz Warren goes off the rails
    Mass Dems get ready to roll the dice.by John Hayward06/01/2012

    Democrats in Massachusetts are holding their convention this weekend, and they’ve got to decide if they’re ready to roll the dice on woman who either doesn’t know when to stop pushing a transparent lie, or is out of her mind.

    Elizabeth Warren, who is zero percent Native American but has been making false claims of Cherokee ancestry for decades, finally snapped under the pressure of having the liberal Boston Globe frown at her, even as demands for an apology from the actual Cherokee grow more insistent.

    In a phone interview with a Globe reporter on Thursday, Fauxcahontas doubled down:

    “In the 1930s, when my parents got married, these were hard issues,’’ Warren said. “My father’s family so objected to my mother’s Native American heritage that my mother told me they had to elope.

    “As kids, my brothers and I knew about that. We knew about the differences between our two families. And we knew how important my mother’s heritage was to her. This was real in my life. I can’t deny my heritage. I can’t and I won’t. That would be denying who my mother was, who my family was, how we lived, and I won’t do it.’’

    Asked what made her mother’s family distinctly Native American, Warren laughed and replied, “It was exactly what I said.’’ Asked again, she responded, “One side was Cherokee and the other side was Delaware. I never had any reason to doubt them. I never asked for any documentation. It’s who we were.’’​


    (Emphasis mine.) This tale is so deeply seared into her memory that she has never mentioned it before, just like she didn’t say a blessed word about her alleged Native American roots when the Globe interviewed her for a 3,000-word biography last February.

    Michael Patrick Leahy, who has been doggedly following the Warren saga for Breitbart.com, quickly published the 1932 marriage certificate for Warren’s parents, Donald J. Herring and Pauline Reed. It was originally posted last week at the “Polly’s Granddaughter” blog run by actual Cherokee genealogist Twila Barnes. It turns out Warren’s parents were married about 14 miles from their listed place of residence in Oklahoma, which was in the same county where Reed’s parents resided. The wedding was performed by the pastor of a Methodist Episcopal Church.

    Reed is identified as “white” on 1920 and 1930 U.S. Census records. Barnes dug considerably deeper into Warren’s family tree, and found not the slightest evidence of Cherokee ancestry. Even if Elizabeth Warren’s fanciful claims of “1/32 Cherokee ancestry” were true, she’s now claiming her mother was driven to flee 14 miles so she could marry a white man, due to unbearable prejudice leveled against her for being 1/16 Native American. Furthermore, in her Globe interview, she claimed her Indian heritage changed “how we lived,” which implies the hardships endured long after that arduous half-hour journey… but, according to her own timeline, she forgot about all of this until well after she was hired by Harvard, and began advertising herself as Native American “in the hopes that it might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group something that might happen with people who are like I am.”

    Somehow, I doubt the real Cherokee are going to be delighted with these new developments.

    Why can't we debate her actual policy proposals and how they would directly affect her constituents? Why does this matter? (Hint: it doesn't.)

    Truly, this is the meat of what is wrong with America today. Proposals regarding the CFPB should be ignored because Cherokees are sneaky.

    OHH, actually, this is a nice reminder---

    because they claim minority status to get preferential treatment. kind of like Obambi and his fulbright.

    this all would mean something to you if you were a native...from america.
