At least the liars might have half a brain in place. Better than Pelosi - "I can't work with President Bush" or Maxine Waters - "Russia invaded Korea".
Better to lie about your people to get into office so you can vote for the betterment of the people you lied about belong to, or is it some other people? Or is this some sort of weak retort insinuating the left always votes for good and the right votes for bad?
I'm insinuating that anyone who thinks the GOP is voting for the betterment of anyone other than themselves and their sponsors is retarded, and that the left actually does help poor people and fight discrimination. But please, keep insulting, it makes you look so much smarter.
Your post has fuck all to do with my original comment. You're simply trying to shoehorn your stupid fucking freshman level politics into a conversation. And not even in a funny, sarcastic, or over the top sort of way.
So ya i'm definitely going to insult you for that and in all following retorts.
Warren didn't really lie, she grew up hearing from her family that they were 1/4 Cherokee or whatever the hell it was. Then later she took a DNA test or something and it turned out it wasn't true.
Does your family not have any local lore or legends? Supposedly my gramps killed a German with his bare hands in the war, but I have no idea how true that is.
Isn't that same shit every American does? It's like claiming they're Irish when their whole experience of Ireland is donating to the IRA and pretending to like Guinness. Guess when your country has no real history you've just got to make some shit up.
I haven't seen any evidence the Cherokee story provided her with any specific financial or educational benefit. If you have such evidence, you should post it here--or better yet, sell it for big bucks to the Trump 2020 opposition research team.
Harvard Law School in the 1990s touted Warren, then a professor in Cambridge, as being "Native American." They singled her out, Warren later acknowledged, because she had listed herself as a minority in an Association of American Law Schools directory. Critics note that she had not done that in her student applications and during her time as a teacher at the University of Texas.
It says in the article I linked and the quoted part that she didn't list Native American on one student application (the one to Texas) but she had on others. Which is how Harvard came to have the information.
Otherwise you're insinuating that Harvard made up the lie about Warrens' Native American heritage.
It says in the article I linked and the quoted part that she didn't list Native American on one student application (the one to Texas) but she had on others. Which is how Harvard came to have the information.
No it doesn't say that. Are you capable of reading?
Here's the quote from the article:
Did it play a role in her career?
Harvard Law School in the 1990s touted Warren, then a professor in Cambridge, as being "Native American." They singled her out, Warren later acknowledged, because she had listed herself as a minority in an Association of American Law Schools directory. Critics note that she had not done that in her student applications and during her time as a teacher at the University of Texas.
Warren maintains she never furthered her career by using her heritage to gain advantage.
A directory listing somewhere is not an application.
I'm sure Harvard was super excited to have a supposedly native american prof because of all the extra liberal diversity cred they could claim, but at that point she was already a Harvard professor.
I don't even know what to say other than wow. You ask for proof, it is provided, then you claim that proof simply proves your point even though it actually refutes it.
In one application (the one to Texas) she didn't claim Native American heritage.
In other applications she did claim Native American heritage.
We know that she claimed it because Harvard picked it up and published it as a fact.
A fact she didn't deny until many years later when called out on the lie.
You're welcome to believe that means she never claimed to be Native American and that it was all made up to slander her but it doesn't change the facts. She claimed to be something she wasn't, benefited from it, and then backed away when called out on her lie.
In other applications she did claim Native American heritage.
Where is your evidence for this? Your "proof" doesn't say that at all.
If I find a doctor's note that says "/u/wwyzzerdd did not fake a sick day this week" does that prove that "Every other time /u/wwyzzerdd missed work, it's because he was faking!" ?
We know that she claimed it because Harvard picked it up and published it as a fact.
No we don't. The article you claim is proof says they got that info from some "Association of American Law Schools directory" not from her Harvard application.
You're welcome to believe that means she never claimed to be Native American
Uh, she definitely did claim to be Native American. She thought it was an interesting factoid about herself and her family to be 1/32 Cherokee or some shit.
benefited from it
There's no evidence of this. In fact, the evidence you've presented so far suggests the opposite (she didn't put it on her student applications).
She's an idiot. She brings up stuff Sessions said years ago, yet she never once condemned Robert Byrd, the WV senator who was in the KKK. I'm not defending racism, but for fucks sake, pick a stance and stick to it. Don't be such a political ideologue that you blow in the wind like a leaf depending on which side you're on.
And she was rightfully told to shut up, she was violating the rules of the committee. These idiots in government need to follow the rules that are set up for them to follow.
There's a statue of limitations on political options. Byrd passed in decades ago but Sessions still has some years to sweat it out. You also may want to go on on past Byrd's early life section of his Wikipedia page, there are some twists.
You mean the guy that did stupid shit while he was young, but became "a champion for civil rights and liberties" per the NAACP? Yeah, that's totally the same as Sessions, the guy who tried to stop blacks from voting and to sneakily segregate schools while Attorney General and who is known for being one of the most anti-LGTBQ senators.
And I find it fascinating that it wasn't less than a year ago than the left was calling the right "the party of no" and "obstructionist." Yet, in all their hypocrisy the left is doing the same thing. My how the tables have turned and now the Clintonites are the cry babies. To see people literally crying on national TV because their chosen candidate didn't win is quite frankly, a national embarrassment.
Although, looking through your comment history, you seem to only post in politically themed subs so I doubt your ability to think independently is very developed. Don't worry, that's not an insult, most people who vote for a major party (democrat OR republican) can't usually think for themselves.
The Democrats are in the minority. Even if they say no, they can't do anything about it. Grow up and stop living in the election, start acting like your candidate is now the one in power, because he fucking is. Not our fault if his presidency's first two weeks has been a shitshow.
start acting like your candidate is now the one in power,
Huh, again proving that you have very limited reading comprehension skills. Since you're not smart enough to make an inference from what I stated - Trump isn't/wasn't my candidate. But nice try there, kiddo.
Not our fault if his presidency's first two weeks has been a shitshow
Anyone could have seen that a mile away. Yet your party nominated the most unelectable candidate in history. She lost to Donald Fucking Trump. That's pretty fucking funny.
LOL! You're relying on quotes from a known liar defending herself?!? How funny! Of course she's going to blame her parents for her lies. Good god you're gullible.
He's not my guy. I'm not a partisan hack and I think for myself. Something neither Clinton nor Trump supporters know how to do. I vote for who I think would do a good job. In this case neither Clinton nor Trump would have done a good job. So I didn't vote for either one of them. I don't waste my vote like most people do, on one party or another.
I hate it when you guys post to politics and sort by controversial. I always go in there and immediately think, holy shit when did /r/politics become a place of reasonable discourse? Then I realize what you've done.

She claimed something was true that was false, that is a lie.
She had no reason to continue telling that lie except for financial benefit (education).

You can write that off as a funny family story if you want but I think its bullshit.
