    Except there are "benefits" that one would recieve simply on the basis of Affirmative Action by listing such status. Peerhaps some Ivy League schools, not known for being diverse would of course benefit from having a "Minority" like Warren around. Calm the critics if nothing else for a school regarded as being lilly white back in the day.

    Good lord....she had a job as a Minority, (which we both know she never qualified to be an actual minority..1/16th vs her claimed 1/32), from a School that was all to prpoud to wave her around as such to make themselves look better. Win win for her and Harvard.

    You really need a document? Again, a non minority was given a job on the faculty and listed as a minority.

    Nah, I don't think you do either...it's just more deflection. Youc an play that game yourself if you wish, others will see Warren for what she is despite your damage control.

    Ah, those Indian Princesses!/

    This really shows a pattern of dishonesty that shows up in her academic work as well.

    Massachusetts surely doesn't need another dishonest politician.


    They just got rid of Bawney Fwank.

    Affirmative Action is a Governmental Policy that governs the actions of certain entities. There is no "claim forms" to fill out. Warren identified herself as a Native American in the Association of American law Schools directory from 1986 through 1995.

    She is listed as a minority in the report. I think it's safe to assume "self-identified" means she identified herself as a minority.

    If the Brown campaign was smart, they would have a couple of Indians show up at Warren's campaign stops to ask for their preferences back.

    I think his camp needs to keep digging on the subject, FOIA requests. Use some Native Americans in TV ad's, irate over her claims.

    How about a TV ad with a narrator talking about Warren using Affirmative Action and then cut to an Indian with a single tear...

    Oh man! I remember those Anti pollution ads when i was a kid. Don't make the indian cry. I think I even saw an SNL skit once where they made a parody of that, with a huge stick on tear. I'd love to see that worked in by Brown in any fashion!

    Definitely.
    This is a campaign killer for Warren if it gets in the spotlight and stays there. browns got an uphill battle though to have that message seen, as some "news media sources" have shown they'll bury anything negative.

    I just can't believe, with all the crap that's going on in your country (economics, immigration, gay rights) that they have to stoop to this for an attack angle. I mean, politically, its genius, but as a logically thinking adult, it feels like a reach and a half.

    It's crazy that this angle would even be there to attack Cubed. Who would have thought a candidate would come to the plate with this kind of dishonest baggage, and actually think she'd be deserving of office. And people that would actually defend her or think she deserves a chance boggle me honestly. Parties aside, any candidate that was caught in a yarn like this should not get the chance. Everyone always says how youc ant find an honest Politician...yet we, while knowing in advance, would vote one in?

    Simply boggling.

    By your standard, no current politician at that level or higher would be allowed into office. In fact, I'll bet more then 3/4s of Americans have some sort of baggage or another in their past. Its a matter of finding the politician who lies the least, and works for the people as much as this political climate will allow. A minority status in a University in the 80s, is pretty low on the do-uche scale.

    Fantastic Professor, simple slogan and to the point. If the Brown camp is smart, they need to make that a bumper Sticker pronto.

    I still think you're downplaying it Cubed. This is more than common baggage. She lied about her Heritage to gain benefits of Affirmative Action. It's akin to stealing. To vote her in to Office is to continue moving her up that chain of undeserved advancement.

    As to who lies the least? Well it's looking like Scott Brown right now for anyone who doesnt have hands over their eyes.

    I would venture to say of the 3/4's of American's with baggage, a very miniscule number of them claimed to be a minority when they weren't. It's a slap in the face to the real minorities out there and they shouldn't vote for her.

    Myself, I am of Portuguese heritage and am ofter confused for being Latino. I never put myself down as being such when looking for a job.

    I don't think this is a case of who strapped a dog to the roof of a car and who ate one. This issue really goes to character. She took advantage of a preference that she wasn't entitled. So it was fraudulent.

    But don't worry, there are bigger character issues than that having to do with some studies she authored, but unless his hand is forced, Brown will probably sit on those until near the election.

    The S.S. Warren campaign has already struck the iceberg, it's only a matter of time.
