[September 4, 2012] REAL Cherokee Indians Respond With DISGUST To Elizabeth Warren
2012 Massachusetts GOP Video via The Federalist Papers ^ | September 4, 2012 | Massachusetts GOP Video

American Indians will be silent no more.

They’re calling out Elizabeth Warren and her preposterous claim that she’s “Native American.”

The uber-liberal Massachusetts senator claims she’s an Indian – 1/32 Cherokee to be exact. She’s never provided any documentation or proof of that ancestry. She’s not a member of any band of Cherokee, nor could she be.

Still, she’s used the nonsense claim to her political and professional advantage.

In the 1990s, while Warren was teaching at Harvard, she was granted tenure partly because of her claim of “Indian roots” and the college’s effort to boost their diversity hiring record.

And between 1985 and 1996, she listed herself as a “minority” in a directory of law professors. Asked about this, Warren said she listed herself as a minority because she wanted to connect with “people for whom native American is part of their heritage and part of their hearts.”

Even when given a chance to admit that she’s lying, she gives these bizarre, rambling – and offensive – responses, like this one recently where she talked about “high cheekbones.”

“I have lived in a family that has talked about Native America, talked about tribes, since I’ve been a little girl,” she said. “I still have a picture on my mantle at home, and it’s a picture of my mother’s dad, a picture of my grandfather, and my Aunt Bee has walked by that picture at least a 1000 times, remarked that her father, my Pappa, had high cheekbones, like all of the Indians do, because that’s how she saw it, and your mother got those same great cheekbones, and I didn’t. And she though this was the bad deal she had gotten in life. Being Native American has been a part of my story, I guess since the day I was born, I don’t know any other way to describe it.”

Well, the Cherokee Indian tribe has had enough.

In a video – released by the Massachusetts Republican Party – real Cherokees speak out about Warren’s idiotic claim that she’s Indian.

It’s a scathing indictment against the woman that Donald Trump and others call “Fauxcahontas” or “Lieawatha.”

On the off chance that Hillary picks Warren as her running mate, expect to hear a lot more about this.

I’m more Cherokee than she is. What do I get?

A box of popcorn and free use of the words 'ugg' and 'kemosabe'?

WEll, I've owned four Jeep Cherokees, so what does that make me...(Don't answer that.)

A glutton for punishment? Just Empty Every Pocket... ;-)

I wish I'd never sold my Cherokee (1998 XJ).

My great grandfather was full blood Indian. We don’t know what kind. No one has ever used it in any way.
My granddaughter is looking for a job and was telling me that every application is asking if they speak Spanish first and then ethnicity. I told her yesterday to put a kink in it and mark Native American. lol

I think of this Lone Ranger and Tonto joke from many moons ago...

The Lone Ranger and Tonto find themselves after a long exhausting horse ride staring up at canyon walls filled with hostile Apache warriors. The Lone Ranger sensing the impending doom, turns to Tonto, his faithful Indian scout, and says "What do WE do now Tonto?"

Tonto slowly turns towards to the Lone Ranger, thinks of his Indian brothers and says "What do you mean WE, kemosabe?"

Then come big day... tribe fall over cliff. That when Hekawi get name. Medicine man say to my ancestor, ‘I think we lost. Where the heck are we?’.”

If she puts her ear to the ground, she might be able to hear the Trump victory stampede.

Old joke, something like this: A white man and his Indian bud have a few beers in a tavern. The Indian decides to go home and leaves. A minute later there a squeal of brakes.

The white guy runs outside and sees his buddy kneeling on the pavement, ear to the ground. He says "1988 four door Pontiac, blue stripes down the side, one headlight broken."

White guy marvels "Holy Cow! I knew you guys were good trackers, but this is fantastic!"

The Indian says "You idiot! That's the car that hit me!"

Obama has said he is a Christian, that he loves America, Obama has also said that the Muslim call to prayer in the morning is the most beautiful sound in the world. Also, How could he love America if he thinks there are 58 states, which he implied. Further, to me, he is Not an American. He doesn't think like an American , He doesn't Talk like an American. And he doesn't Act like an American.

Elizabeth, as a Cheyenne friend of mine once said to a person claiming Indian ancestry, “The only Indian in you is what someone stuck in you.”

“I thought the Tribes had final say on who is or is not an Indian and that they require documentaty proof before they accept a claim for membership.”

That is the way that it is in my county in California. The Indian tribes here are very picky about who they recognize as tribal members.There is a lot of money at stake. Fauxahontas would never be accepted as anything but a phony.

I’m 1/16th Indian — a tribe in Western NY State — Seneca, if family lore is correct.

I’d never insult them by trying to trying to take advantage of it politically or any other way. Anyone (Warren) who’d do that is despicable — especially if it’s a complete lie.

My Grandmother was half Cherokee, which makes me 1/8 Cherokee, but I never attempted to receive collage tuition grants or even mention it to anyone other than close friends. My cousins back in Alabama are proud of their heritage as I am as well. Nice to know a part of my ancestors have been here before all the pale faces showed up.

"Nice party, where's the whiskey!"

Cherokee is probably the most common of all native ancestries in America and chances are pretty good (close to one in three) that you can claim at least some if to can trace your ancestry back to the Appalachian areas of Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia or North Carolina of 18th century or even early 19th century America.

That covers literally millions of Americas alive today. The Cherokee could see that their only chances for survival as a people included intermarriage with the dominant tribe (whites) and sought these alliances for practical as well as political reasons at the time. The Cherokee wore white man's clothes and learned the white man's law during this time up until the 1836 Trail of Tears expulsion.

The fact that Warren could not clear even this fairly low hurdle makes her fake claim all the more repugnant.

I believe that "off chance" just became more remote. This is a devastating piece. Of course we knew all this when she ran against Scott Brown for senator. But Brown decided in typical RINO fashion to take the high road and he never made an issue of Warren pretending to be a minority in order to further her career and take advantage of affirmative action for herself.

Scott Brown, a/k/a Charlie Brown, went on to get his clock cleaned in the election. So much for taking the Kennedy seat for the Republicans. Nice guys finish last again.

You can bet that Donald Trump will not leave this on the table should he get the opportunity to run against this phoney insufferable hypocrite.
