Absolutely! I have an Irish last name and have to go back 4 generations before I get back to Ireland. Am I still Irish? Heck yeah! Am I an Irish citizen, no. But I'm still Irish (and French, English, Italian, Dutch and a few others, too!). I can trace ancestors in the US back to the 1600s, but I still have ancestry from all those nationalities, that doesn't change (and never will).

No... you're not Irish at all. Neither am I. You and me, buddy, we're American through and through.

Go to Ireland and tell 'em your Irish. I'm sure that'll go over real well.

If this is the worst thing the Right can dig up about Elizabeth Warren, they're going to have to try a lot harder.

The sad thing, is that anyone (specifically U.S. citizens) has to lie about their ethnicity in order to get into a good school.

An even sadder thing is that ethnicity matters in the first place.

They're both pretty well off. $840,000 - Scott Brown and $955,000 for Eliz. Warren Scott Brown’s tax returns show big income jump since winning US Senate seat - Political Intelligence - A national political and campaign blog from The Boston Globe - Boston.com

"Tax returns released today show that Republican Scott Brown’s family income more than doubled to nearly $840,000 after he was elected in 2010, while his likely Democratic challenger, Elizabeth Warren, has had nearly $1 million in joint earnings two of the past four years."

If all Brown has to go after is his opponent's claim of heritage then I'd say he's scared. Really scared. Which he should be.

I know you think you're Irish because of a relative in your family's past.
