Warren said in a statement, “At some point after I was hired by them, I . . . provided that information to the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. My Native American heritage is part of who I am, I’m proud of it and I have been open about it.”
The Globe does point out: “Two key people who recruited her to Harvard have said they did not know of her purported heritage or take it into account when hiring her. The school did not promote her as a Native American when she was hired, despite the fact that it was under intense pressure to diversify its faculty with more minorities.”

When your party has a man who cant even manage putting out a simple Iphone app, you WILL need to spend 1 billion dollars to "TRY " to defeat the Potus.
Obama/Biden 2012 -Saving America since 2008!!!
Correction - trashing America since 2008.... and gone in November.
If Obama was doing such a horrible job , why is all these conservative groups spending 1 billion dollars to defeat him? Because he is not!!! lolololol The polls showed Mccain and Obama with in 4 points and you know how that worked out lolololololol Good luck with the cult leader!!! lololol And thats what Fox called him lololol
POP what you mean to say is saving all the handouts for losers like you.
BooHoo Im sad because a teabagger does not like me and calling me a loser lolololololol
When your canidate wants to run a business he should call Romney, yours is unqualified, even after having the job for 3 1/2 years.
Well Romney screwed up Maine yet you call him a Job creator. He made money at bain not create jobs. Obama already helped create 4.3 million jobs with his policies and saved GM and gave more Americans health care and gave the Okay to kill Bin laden. What has Romney done for America?
Even as a community organizer he did more for Americans then Romney!!! He helped people no matter how much money they had in their accounts! Romney only cared about how to make money, that's it!
Bill get an education your stupidity is showing!!! Spelling is fundamental!!
Everything about this dingbat is phony. She's also claiming to be the first breastfeeding woman to take the New Jersey bar exam. The self promotion never ends with these cocktail party liberals. She's toast in November, and can hang out in Chicago with the Obamas. They'll have plenty of spare time on their hands.
This is called smoke screening or deflection. There is no story here, just a desperate attempt by the right wingers to make her look bad, while promoting "Mr. Clean" Scott Brown.
I don't think the word pathetic really covers it. What is it about politics that make people loose their common sense?
As a descendant of the Mohawk tribe and a decorated Vietnam veteran...all I can say is that she would fit right in on that side of the Senate aisle...right along side our fake Vietnam veteran...Sen. Blumenthal...maybe Pres. Obama could give them real estate tips on how to purchase a backyard for their mansions at a discount from a convicted influence peddler!!! Democrats...the worst enemy of the working class!!!
NO FREE TRADE WITHOUT FULL EMPLOYMENT!!
Also, if you're going to waste a trillion dollars to murder maim, rape, torture and terrorize millions of Arabs - why not just spend the money to 'buy the oil?'
This is a very big deal because it shows that she is not honest. Also, please keep in mind that almost NOBODY can trace their ancestry back to their great, great, great grandparents which is the round of thirty-two. Maybe the kings of England but very very few other people. So, she is lying big time to gain financial advantage.
On other subjects, she claims to be fighting for the middle class. Me too. And I am also in favor of mothers, apple pie, and the American flag. This broad is pure dog dew and will be soundly rejected by the residents of Mass.
Really BigL? "Lamestream" media? Firstly, you are posting your gripe on "lamestream" media; secondly, the lamestream media will be the same media Romney uses to get elected (God help us), so take a sip of Shut The Hell Up regarding the "lamestream media."
Also, Massachusetts is the state that Romney instituted RomneyCare... he felt public insurance was important for his state, but now he will backtrack and say what's good for his own state is not good for the rest of the country. Talk about pandering to the electorate for political/personal gain. Take another sip of Shut The Hell Up for your hypocrisy, and the general hypocrisies of the right. This country's finally getting back on its feet, why would we let you back in to fumble around and f$#k it up again?
Save yourself a lot of worry. It's been clear for years that Obama will reign until 2017. Incumbency, money, lack of a decent opponent. No worries for you. Now, everybody else, that's a problem. Hope I'm wrong.... but I seldom am when the topics are politics, cynicism, and hypocrisy.
Looks Indian to me.
Must be the nose....
She is a bulldog when it comes to standing up for consumer rights. She will do good. That's all I need to know. Wish I could vote for her, but I'm in the wrong state for that. More Republican dirty tricks if you ask me - making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Lets see she lied and Republicans use dirty tricks, where do you libtard morons come from?
Where did she lie? Just because your pie hole utters noises does not make them true (except on Faux News). If you have something other than Ms Warren knows banking and how to prevent the banking interests from raping the American Public, please put it out there for us to look at!
I new the Republicans were stupit, but not this stupit=the Liars calling the "kettle Black".
I new the Republicans were stupit, but not this stupit=the Liars calling the "kettle Black".
"knew" not "new", and "Stupid", not "stupit". Pot, meet very large kettle
Fisher...before you go around calling people stupid, you may want to learn how to spell!
Probably a Harvard grad. He meant to qualify as a "stupit" minority.
Somebody tell me where there is a single press report substantiating her claim with credible documentation. I can't seem to find it....so, we end up with attackers on the one hand, and "it doesn't matter anyway" apologists on the other. What is the truth? After all, nobody ACCUSED her of being AI...she claimed that all by herself. Elizabeth, Elizabeth.....show us the beef! [or tell us there is no beef....]. You used to be someone to admire....now you seem more and more like just another pathetic politician....obfuscating and dissembling.....say it ain't so, Elizabeth.
This is just more ALEC noise to smear someone who has taken on the Banking industry and keep their pretty boy Scott Brown in office so he can continue to be their stooge. Enough already.
Elizabeth Warren is worth 10 Scott Browns and will act on her constituents' behalf, not follow in lockstep with the right-wing ideological nonsense that's dividing our country and keeping us from acting on critical issues.
Real standard here - typical Democratic response. It's O.K. to lie as long as you are a liberal. Politics above morals and ethics.
What's the big deal? Romney's been trying to claim he's a human not a robot. So lets hear it tea people Koch republicans, call Romney out for trying to claim he's human.
Romney was built in a Koch brothers refinery in CA.
Funny as any Cartoon. Barack Hussein Obama claims to have been born in Hawaii, now this. When will it end. When will Politicians stop lying in order to get what they want? Prob never.
The illegal kenyan born and his SS card are like her being native american, high probability of non truth
Lying is Lying. Hopes she gets defeated because of it. Oh yes, about Bill Clinton lies..... If we don't set a standard there will be none. No politics here - pure and simple lying. She should withdraw.
At the time that Warren was hired at Harvard Law, a person would have "minority status" simply by being a woman, since the vast majority of professors were male (and still are). Her Native American ancestry was irrelevant then, and remains so today.
May be true but should wonder what else she lied about or will lie about. To claim to be a Squaw in order to get a job is novel, to say the least.
End justifies the means to Democrats. Hell, Obama still claims he is an American.
Typical ugly American wasting the Lord's computer ink....
1/32 Indian, huh! I guess I'm 1/32 something but I don't go around lying about it and getting special favors. She a scumbag Democrat liar.
Does she also get money from the Tribe? Did she get a free trailer house paid for by us the American taxpayers? Damn I love this web site, isn't the internet wonderful.
Serious question. Has the US Senate every had a Squaw as a member? Not sure. Mabye now?
Lets get the Supreme Court (aka scrotus!) to weigh in.
The current chief of the Cherokee Nation, Bill John Baker is only 1/32 Cherokee.
Bill? Really? you mean Chief Liesalot.
Yeah, but he is no liar.
Talk about desperate GOPeer'er's! Wow, it's Gawd awful that she claimed indian anscestory (So how many indians did the European interlopers rape - millions, I bet!). Wow, let's send her to GITMO or better yet, send a Predator over her house firing AGM-117 Hellfire missiles at her hen house! Meanwhile the GOP faggots and baby porn fans deny their 'status' to the bitter end. Go figure this one out Pilgrims....
As a completely non-interested person with regard to Mass. politics, I just find it fascinating that with all of the liberal cackling over this, it is MSNBC that is perpetuating the story, a left-wing news outlet, defending this "non-issue". If it is such a non-issue, what are the lefties worried about?? Who cares?? It only speaks to Warrens' own veracity and honesty. The facts are on the table. Let the voters decide.
The reason this is important to MSNBC is because that journalistic gaint, Valery Jarret Clone, and Co-Host of the ''Morning Schmo Program''- - ''Darling Mika'' is an Ardent Fan of Ms. Warren. And how could she possibly be wrong about ''anything''- -- - I mean Her Daddy worked in the Carter Whitehouse , while she is the Author of- - Knowing your Worth! As was so eloquently expressed in John Wayne lore- - so those are your ''Bona Fides''!
End jusifies the means, the romney still claims to be something different at every event depending on the audience.
Kind of like our current President. Hope he doesn't go rouge. Imagine what that would be like without the teleprompter. Like a person in the late stages of dimentia.
Does anyone remember how all this attention to Ms warren even came about? ? ? The Cherokee Nation took offense at her claim she was ''CHEROKEE'', especially in light of the fact- - there is zero documentation to say she has any Cherokee in her, no less 1/32! But there is plenty of documentation showing she ''used'' this unique status to her benefit whereever minority staus could be embraced !. She never lied or intended to use ''this status'' to get ahead? ?SERIOUSLY? ? ? BEAM ME UP SCOTTY- - I HAVE HEARD IT ALL! ! !
Yup. Liar Liar, Pants On Fire.
