She does not have enough if any to be recognized by any tribe in America or to qualify for affirmative action status to get on the Harvard faculty.

Sometimes its family feuds from long ago where marrying a part Indian was a bad thing, so the other side accused them of it. Again..this is a very common mistake made. Its even very possible she has some Cherokee blood, but not enough to claim it. Also another common mistake. She has contributed to a indian cook book however...I suppose that could be viewed as a benefit...is that it?

And this is the thing you guys use against her? Really? This is a truly pathetic attack. Her marking it on her forms has had no apparent benefit to her in any way apparently. But this is your controversy? A mistake made by thousands and thousands of people.

And now she is abusing her position by saying that anonymously paid for attacks on political figures by corporations shouldnt be allowed? Really? This is what gets your goat? That she wants the underlying cause of an attack ad to be apparent?

Truly sad when this is so important, when there are so many other more important things.
you really believe she thought she was: Give me a break as Stossel would say!!!!!

Le Roi I guess you don't really follow politics to closely: she admitted it, that is the proof!!!!

I'm pretty sure all of us here posting, but for a very few Europeans, are native Americans.
I was born in the State of Oklahoma, in the US of America. My heritage is Cherokee, Seminole and Scottish.

The only thing "suspect" is that it doesn't follow the party line, from your POV.

Leftists, indeed, are authoritarian powermongers. EVERY ONE OF THEM.

LOLOLOL!!!! No, because it gave her an "edge" in admissions.

No, she exploited the very "unequal admissions" mechanism she promotes for others. That she didn't verify it legally means she cheated. Plain and simple. Making excuses for her is butt-kissing.

Because we have a first amendment, she absolutely should not be attempting to squash it.

NOTHING trumps character, in terms of importance.
