[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you talk with American families who've been here since the 1700's, most of them have a story saying they are part Indian.  I know we did, the family loved to trot the story out.  Personally I was always skeptical.  Took a DNA test about a year ago, and nope, zero American Indian heritage.

Elizabeth Warren definitely pushed the envelope farther than anyone in my family, but I can see how it happens.  I bet it's a story she heard her whole life.  To me it doesn't look like she intended any malice, if anything she was proud of being part American Indian.  [/quote]

But it appears she only EMPLOYED the falsehood once she started chasing more prestigious professorships. She knew EXACTLY what she was doing. [/quote]

The best job she got had nothing to do with that though.  She was qualified.  [/quote]

Had she never lied about being American Indian she never would have been hired by Penn or Harvard (and possibly even U-T), and would have lacked the resume for US Senate. She would have been some nobody law professor at backwater Rutgers. A very fine and comfortable life, but she wanted more -- by hook or by crook.[/quote]

That is not true. There is no evidences at all that either Penn or Harvard hired her because of an American Indian claim. There is plenty of evidence in both cases that they wanted her husband and she was included in the package.[/quote]
