First of all, why should she have to prove anything about her ancestry? She is not promoting whatever her racial background may be as a reason to vote for her. Brown is the one who chose to make an issue out of it. She was told as a child that she had Cherokee ancestors and she did not assume her mother was a liar. She did not take the time to document it, but who does that anyway? Not many. This is basically an ad hominem attack on her to avoid discussing more relevant and current issues of the state and nation

Because she has been gaming the system and now is trying to ride that fraudulent horse into the US Senate..we have enough phony bas tards up there NOW including the one who BS'd himself into the WH.

but, in fact she did use this supposed ethnic position by putting it on the application forms to gain a leg up on other applicants for the same job. It was Ballyhooed in publications from Harvard that they had a Native American as a tenured Professor. She might have been qualified on her own right but we'll never know. It is important because it is a "federal offense" to lie on the form and select any ethnic status that is not "real". Is that sufficient for you? I would have been fired and fined had I done that - selected an ethnic status claim I could not support - why is Warren exempt?

To claim benefiits that give you better opportunities (in her case, earning millions as a lawyer), you should PROVE your assertion, and the Cherokee are none to happy that she slurs them with her made-up stories and cannot prove she is member of any tribe, except the human race.

Lying matters. Truth matters. Character counts. And Elizabeth Warren is a lying cheat who does not deserve to a sen. from MA.

Twice Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren have faced off in televised debates, and twice the Massachusetts Senate candidates traded blows over Warren's claim to American Indian ancestry within seconds of the opening bell. The Republican incumbent and his Democratic challenger have launched dueling campaign ads calling even more attention to the issue, and there has even been a mini-kerfuffle over the low-rent antics of a few Brown staff members, who were filmed war-whooping and tomahawk-chopping at a campaign event in Dorchester.

Plainly the question of Warren's Cherokee heritage isn't going away any time soon. I'll be surprised if...
