I attended the Netroots Nation progressive convention this morning in Providence, Rhode Island.   The session was titled "American Indian Caucus." When I asked the panel about Elizabeth Warren's false claims to be Cherokee, they became defensive and accusatory, refused to condemn Warren or seek an apology...

It's a pattern laid out by Meghan McArdle in July 2010, Considering Elizabeth Warren, the Scholar. Read the whole thing, but here's an excerpt: But while I found the thesis compelling, there were some problems with the book.  The first is that Warren simply fails to grapple with...

Don't believe the spin that Elizabeth Warren's claims about being Native American don't matter.  Or that she simply made a mistake in how she handled it. This headline from U.S. News demonstrates how it is being played: Warren Gaffes on Native American Roots Enflame Senate Race in...

I have alluded to issues certain writers have taken with Elizabeth Warren's academic writings. But never have I seen a more scathing critique of Warren than that published by highly regarded Rutgers Law Professor Philip Shuchman which was uncovered by Michael Patrick Leahy at Breitbart.com. The article is...

A new group of over 150 Cherokees and growing has formed with the purpose of forcing Elizabeth Warren to give up her false claim to Cherokee heritage. The group has a new blog, Cherokees Demand Truth from Elizabeth Warren, and corresponding Facebook page: Mission Statement Cherokees Demand Truth from Elizabeth Warren...

As Politico notes, The Boston Herald has outdone The Boston Globe in reporting on Elizabeth Warren, although The Globe finally is coming around to some hard reporting after its editorial board declared the issue over weeks ago: Long before Republican Sen. Scott Brown vs. Elizabeth Warren...

I wasn't going to do an Elizabeth Warren post today.  Really. But in my in-box was a link to this story at The Boston Herald, Elizabeth Warren shuts door on Herald’s inquiry (video at the link): Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren, in a sequel to an awkward on-camera encounter...

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...
