BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren 3.1% Saintly Victim, 96.8% Evil Oppressor UPDATED: Her 1/32nd Legacy of Shame UPDATED: Her Confederate Heritage?

Posted on | May 1, 2012 | 42 Comments

Quick, give this lady a casino license:

Desperately scrambling to validate Democrat Elizabeth Warren’s Native American heritage amid questions about whether she used her minority status to further her career, the Harvard Law professor’s campaign last night finally came up with what they claim is a Cherokee connection — her great-great-great-grandmother.
“She would be 1?32nd of Elizabeth Warren’s total ancestry,” noted genealogist Christopher Child said, referring to the candidate’s great-great-great-grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith, who is listed on an Oklahoma marriage certificate as Cherokee. Smith is an ancestor on Warren’s mother’s side, Child said.

UPDATE: On behalf of the conservative blogosphere, I would like to apologize to Professor Warren Redbone for our previous skepticism — indeed, cruel mockery — of her claim to be a Native American.

Just because she’s blonde and makes a half-million dollars a year, doesn’t mean she’s not a victim of racist oppression. I’m sure when she was growing up, she faced vicious schoolyard taunts — “squaw” and “1/16th half-breed” — which so many children must endure.

UPDATE II: Sources in Boston say Democrat strategists have come up with a new theme song for Professor Redbone’s Senate campaign:

UPDATE III: “The other children always laughed at me …”

UPDATE IV: Donald Douglas points out that the Boston Globe is also reporting on Professor 1/16th Half-Breed’s legacy of shame:

A record unearthed Monday shows that Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren has a great-great-great grandmother listed in an 1894 document as a Cherokee, said a genealogist at the New England Historic and Genealogy Society.

Eighteen ninety-four? Professor Warren’s ancestors were victims of racism 70 years before Jesse Jackson marched in Selma!

Meanwhile, we are unable to verify this e-mail we just received from Warren campaign headquarters, informing us that “the White Man’s Law” prevents them from accepting contributions of wampum beads, although “donations of blankets and firewater are especially appreciated.”

UPDATE V: Professor Glenn Reynolds Redskin has twice as much Native American ancestry as Professor Warren.

UPDATE VI: While we await our casino licenses — we’ve all got a Cherokee ancestor somewhere in our family trees, right? — I’ll point out that the Cherokee Nation allied itself with the Confederate States of America, and fought under Gen. Stand Watie, C.S.A.

This means that Professor Warren is almost certainly eligible for membership in the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Let’s hope those Yankees in Massachusetts will forgive and forget . . .

Obama Administration Has Progressed Far Beyond ‘Conservative Lemmings’

A couple of great graphics from the excellent Yid With Lid:These sheep are happy not to be the pigs owned by the Gadarenes.
The Lid’s post is all about how the Administration’s energy policy is killing the economy. It occurred to me in conversation with someone that Obama isn’t against fracking: he’s fracking society into balkanized little chunks from which to extract political energy.
In response to yesterday’s Axelrod post, The Lid offered:

These Commies do view society as their little frackable flock of sheep.

Update: just in fracking time, linked by Daily Pundit.

E-Mail From Bert the Samoan Lawyer

Posted on | May 1, 2012 | 55 Comments

What? You doubt that he’s actually Samoan? What kind of vicious racist hatemonger are you, to doubt Bert the Samoan Lawyer?

It’s impossible to be sure about this Elizabeth Warren/Native American thing but I will bet you …  a Ruth’s Chris dinner the next time [you are] in Alabama that if Elizabeth Warren was listing herself as a “Native American” minority while teaching law at Texas and Penn (in faculty directories) she was using that claim to get preferential treatment in hiring at those places. Remember Ward Churchill? Claiming Native American ancestry is a known scam, especially useful at state universities that are, to put it mildly, obsessed with ethnic diversity in the professoriate. It also turns up a lot with people who want to run gambling operations free of state-law impediments.
In addition, there are about 1,000 contexts in which falsely claiming minority status is a federal crime.
The non-denial denials coming out of Warren’s campaign coupled with the lame attempt to paint Scott Brown as conducting a war on women by calling Warren on this suggest to me that this story is going to have legs. Long ones.
This woman almost became the top cop of the entire financial industry. Maybe she’ll pull a Geithner: “so what if I cheated on my taxes; now I run the Treasury!” But I’m hoping the investigative blogosphere will get on this hard. There is almost no way she could have listed herself as a minority in a faculty directory if she was not doing so on more official documents.

While Bert’s Samoan authenticity is beyond doubt, the Native American authenticity of Elizabeth “Dances With Socialists” Warren is being mocked by Allahpundit, Instapundit, William Jacobson, Moe Lane, Weasel Zippers, Tom Maguire, Mark Steyn, Ace of Spades and Ace of Spades — really, she needed mocking twice by Ace — to say nothing of every talk-radio host within range of a microphone.

Somehow, despite the vigorous denials Harvard Law is issuing to the New York Times, and even though she’s “working on digging up some sort of evidence to appease you,” I’m thinking this “Cherokee Princess” bit is pretty much the nail in the coffin of Warren’s campaign.

Imagine you’re a blue-collar Irish Democrat in Boston. Your kid didn’t get into Harvard, did he? This rich blonde Harvard professor who gets paid half a million bucks a year claims she’s the great-great-grandaughter of Pocahontas or something?

Elizabeth Warren’s Indian name: Loses Like Coakley.

But … It Was an ‘Interactive Lesson’!

Posted on | May 1, 2012 | 9 Comments

Some people obviously don’t understand innovative advanced postmodern educational methodology:

A Bluffton (S.C) Middle School teacher is accused of grabbing a seventh-grader by his shirt collar, forcing him under a desk and telling him, “This is what the Nazis do to Jews,” according to the Bluffton Police Department. . . .
A lawyer for social studies teacher Patricia Mulholland said she was merely conducting an “interactive lesson” on the Holocaust during a class Wednesday. . . .
The alleged victim told authorities that as he was returning to his desk after sharpening his pencil, Mulholland grabbed him by the collar and said, “Come here, Jew,” and dragged him 10 to 12 feet, according to the police report.

She was merely conducting an “interactive lesson,” see? Some other “interactive lessons” she might consider:

  • Bringing bloodhounds to school to chase down students playing “runaway slaves”;
  • Having students re-enact the experiences of the Donner Party, including cannibalism;
  • Using lighter fluid to simulate a napalm attack on seventh-grade “Vietnam villagers”; and
  • Strapping explosives onto students for an “interactive Intifada.”

For their special interactive lesson unit on the 1960s, students will use illegal drugs, have sex and listen to rock music.

Of course, they do that all the time anyway . . .

Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky … Obama!

Posted on | April 30, 2012 | 40 Comments

Yes, comrades, they all share the same slogan: “Forward!”

The Obama campaign apparently didn’t look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, “Forward” — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism. . . .
The slogan “Forward!” reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism. . . .
There have been at least two radical-left publications named “Vorwaerts” (the German word for “Forward”). One was the daily newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Germany whose writers included Friedrich Engels and Leon Trotsky. It still publishes as the organ of Germany’s SDP, though that party has changed considerably since World War II. Another was the 1844 biweekly reader of the Communist League. Karl Marx, Engels and Mikhail Bakunin are among the names associated with that publication.

Oh, It’s A Retirement, All Right

Althouse picks up on the phrase: “my last campaign” in an Obama fundraising pitch.

And I don’t want to sound alarmist, so let me go at this with minimalist phrasing: given the record of the past three years, can you be 100% sure that, accepting the premise of a second term, that Barack wouldn’t pull some stunt to retain executive power after 2016?

I accept the stated facts of Barack’s Hawaiian birth and Christianity. Other than those, there hasn’t seemed to be a straight word #1 out of the fellow. So, full circle, then: what’s your confidence level in this guy again?

That Obama talks about the Constitution like a dog.

I’m Sure Your Mother Will Love That Lawn Mower You Bought Her on Amazon

Posted on | April 30, 2012 | 4 Comments

What mom wouldn’t be overjoyed to receive a 21-inch 160cc lawn mower for Mother’s Day, right? That was really thoughtful of you to buy that for your mom via our Amazon Associates links, so that you get low prices and free shipping — and also kick me a small commission.

Silly me! When I promoted our Mother’s Day specials last week, I thought maybe you’d want to buy your mom some tasteful jewelry, but when I checked the sales report — a lawnmower! Why didn’t I think of that? Also, that Canon Laser Wireless Color Printer with Scanner, Copier and Fax? Truly a thoughtful present for dear old Mom! And what about that electronic dog fence with shock collar? I bet you can’t wait to see the smile on Mom’s face when she opens that lovely gift!

 

Of course, maybe our other readers aren’t thoughtful like you, so they’ll probably just buy their mom some boring old jewelry.

 

But that’s OK. You can buy anything through our Amazon Associates links, and your mother will be so proud that you saved money — and kicked me a small commission at no extra cost — because that’s the kind of thoughtful person you are.

Obama Throws EPA Moron Under Bus, Bashes Republicans, Panders to Unions

Posted on | April 30, 2012 | 11 Comments

“Oh, the wheels on the bus go round and round!“ Guess what? Obama’s big corporate donors don’t like being “crucified” by the EPA:

Top EPA official resigns over ‘crucify’ comment
— Associated Press

Days after damaging video surfaces, EPA
regional chief Armendariz resigns
— Dallas Morning News

E.P.A. Official Resigns Over ‘Crucify’ Comments
— New York Times

Environmentalists are too stupid to understand that Democrats, despite all their “green” rhetoric, are perfectly willing peddle their asses to Corporate America. But of course, environmentalists are only slightly less stupid than union members:

During his 2008 campaign for president, Mr. Obama relied heavily on unions for millions of dollars of support, as well as labor’s national get-out-the-vote grassroots network. Mr. Obama has sometimes been at odds with labor during his three years in office but will need all the support he can get from unions ahead of the November election.
In recent weeks and months, Mr. Obama’s been working to mend fences. In February, Mr. Obama delivered a blistering attack on Mitt Romney when he spoke before United Auto Workers, highlighting his GOP rival’s opposition to the auto industry bailout. . . .
“Republicans in Congress would rather put fewer of you to work rebuilding America than ask millionaires and billionaires to live without massive new tax cuts,” he said. . . .
“If we’re smart about it, we can also afford to make the investments that will help our country and the American people in the short-term,” he said. “I think that’s a no-brainer. But apparently, Republicans disagree.”

It does no good to tell union members that they’re being lied to, ripped off, backstabbed and sold out by the Democrats. No, the stupid rank-and-file membership will swallow this dishonest rhetoric — “Republicans want to give tax cuts to billionaires!” — and vote for Democrats, and will never notice that their dues are being squandered to help corrupt Democrats and union leaders get rich.
