Report suggests Elizabeth Warren ancestor rounded up Cherokees for Trail of Tears. “Ms. Warren’s great-great-great grandfather was apparently a member of the Tenn. Militia who rounded up Cherokees from their family homes in the Southeastern U.S. and herded them into government-built stockades in what was then called Ross’s Landing (now Chattanooga), TN – the point of origin for the horrific Trail of Tears, which began in January, 1837.” In other news, our irony meter has just exploded.

"D'oh!" --Homer J. Simpson
Here's the scary thing: Granny will still get a decent chunk of the vote in MA anyway. I still follow MA politics closely and have been watching this whole debacle wind up to its current levels. (Howie Carr from the Boston Herald has been all over this, both in print and on his radio show.)
I got into a discussion with my moonbat brother-in-law about Granny vs. Scott Brown. He stated he doesn't pay attention to "Boston politics" (they live just west of Worcester) and that Scott Brown was a faux-redneck because he drove a 2WD pickup rather than a 4WD. Huh? Somehow this is a more agregious sin than Granny's attempt to pass herself off as something she isn't, and that includes being raised poor. If being poor means you were relegated to driving a cast-off MG during high school, I'd like to know what my rust-bucket, half sheet metal/half Bondo Subaru hatchback would have constituted.
Or where does that leave us who never GOT a car? Not in high school, not in college. . .
A death trap.
I love the irony! Not only is it looking like she NOT Cherokee, but her ancestor was responsible for rounding them up for a death march. She put salt in that wound by getting ahead on their backs.
"Affirmative Action" must be stopped! Wasn't it MLK Jr. who wanted the "color" line removed from job applications?
DarkDingleBerry exhibits the symptomatology of "LDD" (Liberal Derangement Disorder)
You Better get that checked soon DarkDefective, left untreated LDD leads to an aversion to soap and personal hygiene, overwhelming desire to defecate on police cars, destroy public property and molest young activists back at the tent city.
No need to thank me, I'm here to help-
Or am I too late?
Oh and say "hi" to your Mom for me
I love when October surprises arrive in May.
Maybe thats when he met her g-g-g-grandmother '' Spreads Beaver ''
Used to be they'd scalp her, now we'll just hope she gets a good fleecing next time she's at an Indian casino.
Noooooooo if she's elected (and we all know how dumb MASS voters are) she'll be at the casino gambling with our money. Sorry Mass but you guys did let Teddy live in the Seanate his whole life. Don't think I can forgive you for that one.
So not only is this democrat trashbag NOT a Cherokee, her family destroyed the Cherokee. I believe she had to be completely ignorant of her family history or she wouldn't have played the game she did, nobody is that heartless...wait a minute, democrats I'm talking about here, no heart havin' sons a bitches anyhow. I just think she should be made to suffer for the crimes of her ancestors because of the disgusting way she attempted to profit from her non heritage! To hell with you Liz.
Shouldn't she have to pay reparations? The people doing the rounding up confiscated Cherokee property right and left.
Not to mention a few hundred who died while walking from Florida to Oklahoma. Yes I said walking.
That number would be 4000 of the 15000 Cherokee who were relocated
bringing the total relocated to 46000. Gosh Thanks to Liz's great great great grandfather, John Crawford we got rid of those pesky redskins! What did his legacy bring us, Lizzy the Cherokee

How about she turns all her assets including all personal property and historical mementos left to her by her not so Cherokee ancestors as well as her next ten years earnings, 50,000 hours in service to the local tribe.
Sentence passed, Judge Willy
I'm sure she knew. She just never expected anyone to look it up.
Un. Be. Lievable. This woman takes the cake. Number one, she had no credentials for being a Harvard law professor, only her fake Cherokee ancesty. Number two, she not only isn't Cherokee, her great-great-great grandfather oppressed the Cherokees and rounded them up for the Trail of Tears! You couldn't make this stuff up!
