“Squaw” Warren an “Ethnic fraud” – (Eagle Tribune) But wait….

By

The rabidly right wing Eagle Tribune:

“Warren’s claim as Native American opens debate over ethnic ties”

http://www.eagletribune.com/latestnews/x1378311768/Warrens-claim-as-Native-American-opens-debate-over-ethnic-ties

In the first dozen or so paragraphs:

“Questions about her Native American heritage continued to dog the campaign  …her allegiance to organized labor …such a claim, if used to further an academic or professional career, would certainly be unethical, although not illegal …Puerto Rico …Dominican Republic …’Ethnic fraud’? …questions remain …critics say she’s guilty …fraudulent designation of Native American ancestry is frowned upon as unethical, although it doesn’t appear to be illegal. …”There should be a law against it,”…”Resolution on Academic Ethnic Fraud”…fraudulent self-identification as Native American …

well, then, THAT SAYS IT ALL, SHE’S AN ETHNIC FRAUD!!!

But wait… Buried deep, a dozen or so more paragraphs later…

“In Warren’s case, a preliminary review of her ethnic roots by another researcher at the New England Historic Genealogical Society determined that she was 1/32nd Cherokee because she had a great-great-great grandmother who was Cherokee.”

Oh. OK. Never mind.

The disgusting ET is allowing online commentators to call her a “squaw.”

    It is upon this claim by O.C. Sarah Smith’s son that Ms. Warren’s assertion of Native American ancestry precariously sits. But under the best case scenario for Ms. Warren, her great-great-great grandmother O.C. Sarah Smith was only half Cherokee and half Swedish, making her not 1/32 Cherokee, as most press reports have stated, but 1/64 Cherokee.

    However, it is more likely that O.C. Sarah Smith had no Cherokee heritage. Census records that listed O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford (her married name) as a resident of Tennessee in 1830, 1840, and 1860 classify her as white, not Indian.

        • New England Historic Genealogical Society v Breibart?
          Really?

          The point of the post is to highlight the way the ET crafted the story. They had the NEHGS information in hand, and choose to bury it deep beneath a heaping pile of propaganda.

        • The man was a notorious serial liar, who encouraged and funded other serial liars like James O’Keefe. Nothing that Breitbart or his creations utter should be given any credence without corroboration by more credible sources.
