Elizabeth Warren’s embattled campaign: Cherokee tie found 5 generations ago

I don't think it was specific to Cherokee, but I do recall watching something about native Americans originating from one of the lost tribes of Israel.

I just wish warren would cut the crap, stop hiding behind family legend and stop trying to convince people that she had no idea she was reported as a minority. Harvard didn't know her family legends and she clearly doesn't look anything other than white, so the only way for them to report her as a minority is if she told them she is one. She used her alleged Cherokee status with absolutely no evidence that she is Cherokee. If this doesn't highlight the flaws with affirmative action hiring and quotas; then, I don't know what does. I know I've said this before, but even if her claim is true she has no right to expect special treatment and advancement because of something that happened more than a 150 years ago. It's an insult to the people who really suffered to try and profit from it now.

We all have family stories and legends. Some of them are true, some of them are embellishments of the truth, and others are pure fantasy. I'm working with someone who claimed a link to the founding of West Point and some very prominent military figures. It's a great story, but a simple look at dates and historical events shows that at least half of the legend can't possibly be true. Sure it would be awesome if all our family legends were completely true and every one of us was related to a great general, a president, royalty or a famous explorer. Most of us had normal ancestors who did ordinary things which sometimes made them extraordinary people, but they weren't famous.

Honestly, I don't care what she claims, I wouldn't vote for her no matter what. She's a democrat and even though I've liked some democrats, I LIKE having a Republican represent Mass. DIVERSITY PEOPLE!!!!!!

Plus, I am SO SICK AND TIRED of seeing that 'concerned' face of hers. Have you noticed that in the ad that ends with her speaking to a girl of about 5, she has this look like she's talking to a 30 year old cancer patient and the girl is all smiles. THIS BROAD IS ABOUT A GENUINE AS A PONZI SCHEME!

VOTE SCOTT BROWN...just because he's real.

I have been a career firefighter and union member for almost 30 years. During my career there have been many hard fought battles over affirmative action. Many a career and potential career of firefighters, police officers and other public servants have been effected – both positively and negatively by affirmative action.Through her actions, Elizabeth Warren has made a mockery of all of our struggles, victories and defeats. Regardless of which side of the affirmative action debate you are on, I hope all my brother and sister firefighters remember her disgraceful actions, escpecially when it comes time to endorse a candidate

Elizabeth is still trying to decide her campaign song. She has it down to these two.

ELIZABETH WARREN: Don't you DARE call her integrity into question, it just means you're MEAN!

Why is the media calling this 'Questions' about her heritage? I think it's pretty clear for anyone that breaths oxygen.

I'm not turning Democrat, but this is really starting to become a dead horse issue for me. I get it, she lied, let's move on now.

I'm just pissed now because of all the free research she's getting, not to mention the free $155 subscription to Ancestry. You have any idea how much it would cost me to get the same level of research? In all seriousness though, she's not going to admit that she lied no matter how much evidence is stacked up to prove it.

There's no such thing as negative publicity, unless you want to talk about this issue. Yeah, it is being beaten to death, but the only reason I'm enjoying it is because, as HH said, she'll go to her grave admitting NOTHING. And if she can't come clean on such a basically trivial issue (that could have had monumental consequences if discovered when originally making the claim-i.e. FRAUD) how in hell can we put any faith in her when something BIG in the ethics realm comes along?

As has been said plenty of times, it's really NOT A BIG DEAL, just either say it was a mistake or prove it isn't. THEN we can let the whole thing die and go away.
