Alan Colmes appears to be going the Ed Schultz route and practically begging Elizabeth Warren just to come clean.
Like Schultz, Colmes still is a supporter, but feels a pain from Warren twisting in the winds which have come sweeping off the plains of Warren’s obfuscation and deception.
Mary Sanchez, a columnist for McClatchy, claims that Warren is being “cowardly smeared” in a bizarre column which suggests that opponents of Warren are questioning her cheekbones (Dear Mary, Liz is the one who brought that up, it’s her opponents who think it’s ridiculous). Yet even Sanchez sees that Warren is heading down a dead end trail:
From a campaign standpoint, Warren hasn’t done much to end this silly brouhaha. She ought to either offer documented proof of her lineage or fess up to indulging uncritically in family lore.
Those who thought it was over are finding out it’s not over and will not be over until Warren sings the truth.

Does MA really need a Senator stuck in denial ?
As I pointed out weeks ago, this is REALLY subject to some middling (not genius) messaging in the form of crisis management.
It could have been OVER weeks ago, with little or no Warren damage.
This leaves me having to believe that Warren really DOES have some pathology that would not permit her to do the very simple things she could have to put this to bed.
I watched her in that video segment with the reporters, and it was painful. At one point, she actually looked to someone off camera to rescue her, and they declined.
Awful.
Warren cannot “come clean”, cannot apologize. Finally, when she is pushed to the rocky edge of the precipice and her toenails curl over the lip of doom and she feels the hot blast from the abyss on her face, she will force out a contemptuous “clarification”, which all in the media will hail as the “end of the story.” And it will be too late.
Obvious Elizabeth Warren lies aside, and what she should do, as opposed to what she is doing, I was really taken aback by Mr Alan Colmes, when he actual spoke with truthful honesty and integrity on a FoxNews commentary segment. Wow, will miracles never cease. I think maybe he has started to mature a little in his long and winding liberal traveled road..
Those who thought it was over are finding out it’s not over and will not be over until Warren sings the truth.
Well no, it won’t be over then. It won’t be over if only Prof. Warren confesses her true ethnic/racial heritage.
It will be over when she confesses that she claimed Native American heritage to gain an advantage in obtaining a first-tier law school faculty appointment.
It will be over when she atones for her chutzpah and her error, by humbly working for a good period of time at an Indian reservation as something other than a lawyer.
It will be over when Penn and Harvard confess that they hired her at least in part on the basis of her claim of heritage.
It will be over when they atone for their avarice in gaming the system by reforming their faculty appointments polices so as to stop playing games.
It will be over when she, and they, fix the fundamental wrong.
I love you, man, but…
aerodynamic pigs…get me?
You took the words right outta my mouth!
right … the flying pigs need to splatter, and be replaced with something that flies on its own. Liberals still believe pigs and farm turkeys can fly.

But really, those things do need to be undone, and Obama and Warren sagas are just part of the unwinding of the usurpation of the minority oppressed claims, for the good of the elite Democrats and their Marxist march to personal power.
Usurping that power to stir up the mob may be classic Alinsky or Chavez, but for Lizzy McWhite to actually steal the heritage for personal gain is most egregious.
This is like expecting…even hoping to see…justice for Bwany Fwank in this life.
It will not happen.
But Haaaavid has been burning its brand for decades…a brand the current place-holders had NOTHING to do with creating. They are on the way to becoming a hiss and by-word. But that WILL take time.
Princess Spreading Bull and her law schoolssss will never eat what they have done here, nor even recognize it in secret. That is how the halls of delusion are built and kept standing.
well, to be definitive that justice will NOT be served on some of the nation’s worst criminals is a little too cynical even for me. If tea party types could double in congress in the next few years, the cry for criminal investigations and forensic accounting might come in favor.
Obama may be the one we’ve been waiting for … when it comes to a blatant expression of true intentions of the left. The original tea partiers killed or chased to England those that used the power of government to reward their friends and punish their enemies. There is now again much fervor against the relative lawlessness of the current system.
At least there should be HOPE for justice in our lifetimes. The forensic evidence is still available. Penn and Harvard will not give up without much wailing and gnashing of teeth, but they should at least be forced to “stand their ground”, rather than move on unscathed.
Although i agree with your sentiment, this really could have been over a long time ago. A swift apology and a sincere “I really believed what my mother told me” would have been good enough for most voters. I think she suffers from a far bigger problem though, that she simply cannot admit she was wrong.
As for intentionally claiming Native American status to advance her career… I think it is obvious to all of us she did it, but there is no way to prove her intent so her own explanations will be good enough for most of the masses.
Obama could ride in on his horse and try to save her from the quicksand, but he doesn’t want to face the question “Mr. President, why did you claim to be born in Kenya, right up till 2008?”
That one question might throw Obama into the same muck and mire.
“Mr. President, Lizzy Warren deceived the public with claims of Cherokee heritage, and you claimed to be born in Kenya when at Rev. Wright’s church … Do you believe it’s honorable to make such false claims, as long as you later claim to have had good intentions?”
Also, if you need a reminder of how Collectivist journos lie, read the Mary Sanchez piece.

When Elizabeth Warren has lost Alan Colmes
Thatsa’ good thing. In fact, when anyone loses Alan Colmes, itsa’ good thing.
For me it gets to the old “reasonable man” concept. Reasonable people respond to things in in reasonable and predictable ways. Most politicians dont. They perceive themselves as belonging to a citizen group or class that neednt trouble itself with the details we all live with.
Reasonable people when confronted with this troubling detail would look and think..Oh wow..I never intended all this..all I was doing was making a family story part of my story. Never did I intend any gain or anything. Ill get this stiff removed from my bio and provide a letter of apology and explanation at once.
Now lets talk about a politician. Denial of any wrongdoing. Paint the persons asking tough questions as pesky racists with some axe to grind. Suggest the war on women theme and see if it flies. Make the incident seem so petty and small that you dont have time for this granular line of questioning. Change the subject. Talk about gay marriage or something equally distracting. Bank on the public’s attention span being limited.

Come clean?
What folly.
Liberal elites can’t “come clean”. They are, by very definition, inherently “clean”. They do not struggle with character flaws, immorality, bad judgement, or even mistakes, as does the rest of humankind.
Which is why they, and only they, can show us–make us–become a more perfect being.
It is not Warren’s fault that some cannot understand that what she may or may not have done was not only proper, but virtuous–for the greater good.
To question her will only inspire rightous indignation.
Warren has created a new form of entitlement crime: Race fraud
There are still a few Democrats out there that feel gaming the system for personal gain is despicable.
Those dems are just afraid her obvious gaming will draw attention to their subtle gaming. Then their free handouts system will come crashing down around them.
^^agree. The mere questioning of her royal attributes should be the real crime here. She is above reproach after all. What a load. “Im attempting by including my heritage to elevate public awareness”
Talk about self delusion.
I strongly suspect that she used her “indian” heritage to get preference during employment interviews. That’s why she’s refused to allow publication of her employment records @ UPenn and UTex as well as Harvard…Since this would open her up to attacks of employment fraud.
I think that she’s done more to eliminate “minority preference” in employment than anyone in recent history. It’s time to end it for everyone in every sphere. You’re either qualified for entrance/employment or you’re not.

Most people I speak to in the area (MA & CT mostly) who still support Warren are nearly all cringing throughout the ordeal. The last video of her being “attacked” (their words) by media still elicited a stomach wrenching sense of pity and weakness on her part. If this continues, I think many of the die-hard followers will waver. They want and expect some backbone at some point, even if unconvincing to those who are not die-hard in favor.
If the polls slip for her, expect a change. Otherwise her camp and media sympathizers will continue to make this about war-on-women nonsense, obviously to include the full lineage of women in her family. The idea is to convince the hopeful and faithful that Brown and the GOP are attacking all the women in her ancestry, those misogynistic pigs (my words)!
The video closed with an MMfA banner! Are they woking to take Fauxcahontas down as well?
It’s revealing that “fess up” is the most that leftist pundits are requiring of Warren, a morally bankrupt, habitual lair.

Oh, man – how about a little warning next time? My eyes…
That guy’s name is Mary?
Not only a liar but has now offered a cheap and incredibly lame response–this is what her mother and aunts told her, so when you attack her on this you’re attacking her family. A bit of a reach, even for Big Chief Spreading Bull of the Tepee Party.
” . . . when you attack her on this you’re attacking her family.”
Oh, it’s worse than that. You’re not attacking just any old family.
You’re attacking the family of a Woman!
