Elizabeth Warren’s ancestor traced back to Trail of Tears! …On the side holding the guns. Posted by Moe Lane Yeah, when’s that primary in Massachusetts, again? Because the general election is going to be a trip: …the most stunning discovery about the life of O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford is that her husband, Ms. Warren’s great-great-great grandfather, was apparently a member of the Tennessee Militia who rounded up Cherokees from their family homes in the Southeastern United States and herded them into government-built stockades in what was then called Ross’s Landing (now Chattanooga), Tennessee—the point of origin for the horrific Trail of Tears, which began in January, 1837. In case you were wondering: O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford is Elizabeth Warren’s ‘Cherokee’ ancestor; and by ‘Cherokee’ I mean ‘actually probably Swedish.’ See AoSHQ for more. Also, see Legal Insurrection for the original revelation. The question is, of course, whether bringing all of this up is actually transcendentally mean of me. For example: it’s not Elizabeth Warren’s fault that one of her ancestors was involved in ethnic cleansing; deeply ironic, since he was displacing the very people that his descendant bragged about being a member of, but genealogy is like that. And its certainly true that the attitudes of that time period are mostly of historical interest today. Distasteful historical interest, at that. Lastly: it is simply not fair that I am comfortably able to kick Elizabeth Warren in the shins over this, given that (according to my family’s oral tradition) my own ancestors: a, almost all came over to America in the Twentieth Century and b, were extremely careful to use a variety of aliases when filling out the paperwork – which effectively means that potentially embarrassing revelations of this nature are not really likely to occur for me. Still. Don’t identity politics suck, at least when one is on the receiving end? Maybe now Elizabeth Warren will finally get why hyper-awareness of one’s ethnic origins is sometimes not an optimal way of interacting with the world… oh, who am I kidding? She’s a liberal academic: it’ll take more than this to pierce her epistemic closure bubble… Moe Lane (crosspost) PS: Just for the record, though: it is not unfair to kick Elizabeth Warren in the shins a few times and see how she responds. Every national candidate (not named Barack Obama, at least*) of recent memory has been subjected to this fun-house meat grinder: if Elizabeth ‘Fauxcahontis’ Warren is handling it badly then that’s really her fault, not ours. What’s that? This is why normal** people don’t go into politics? Yeah, sure, whatever, those grapes probably are sour anyway. *And he’s almost as bad at handling being smacked around as Warren is. **Astoundingly, there really are folks out there who think that a Harvard law professor and professional policy irritant qualifies as a ‘normal person.’

It's an epidemic! LMAO!
It's an epidemic! LMAO . It SO figures that cornflake gurl's hero is a total race pimping FRAUD. ‘Fauxcahontis’ indeed!
‘Fauxcahontis’ indeed! Indeed. Ping to the rat-boy... looks like you're consistent 100% of the time... Consistently on the WRONG side of every issue, every candidate, everything in general.... LMAO.
Actually, you are wrong. I work for Ron Paul and we are working in state to see he gats the most delegates. I'll post what we have been doing after the primary here next Tuesday. You also denigrated by job performance as a UH-1H crewchief. If I was such a zero, how did I go from private E-1 at enlistment to sergeant E-5 two years and three months into my three year enlistment. I also got a year of college while in my first enlistment taking coursework these three years. I wasn't drinking, drugging or screwing around so that was one of my few past times to put up with being at Ft. Bragg and Fayetteville, N.C. You are the zero for always looking to be a tinpot character assasination almost as demented as M. Doggie Dawg Steve. In other words, stick it where the sun doesn't shine. ;-)
rat-boy: Actually, you are wrong. I work for Ron Paul and we are working in state to see he gats the most delegates. Yeah, RIIIIIIIIIGHT. Post of pic of you standing next to Ron Paul, and THEN you'll have some cred. Right now, though??? LOL. It was YOU who said you were booted because of your fat mouth. I could look up the post, but really, why bother? Indeed, you claim to have intimate knowledge of every subject, and never cease injecting your ignorant opinions. In comparison, I stick to the subjects I know well, and lurk on threads that are outside my realm of knowledge. For example, you'll not find a single religion thread where I've commented, nor Creationism/Evolution, Cult Watch, I AM A PROPHET and I prophesy, Sports, etc. In other words, I know my limits. YOU proclaim expertise on damn-near everything. Hell, I remember you claiming to have known some "Special Forces" people, who told you (whatever useless shit you were claiming)... You're the original rebel without a clue, madly searching for some parade to jump in front of and lead. Pssst. Nobody GAS about you, rat-boy. Nobody GAS about your psychological obsession to be somebody. And nobody GAS about the fact that you're an emasculated, frustrated enviromentalist man-bitch. Your entire list of accomplishments (which grows longer and more outlandish by the day) doesn't stand up to the accomplishments of the normal Joe-Schmoe going through life, raising a family and being a man. This last point- how to be a man- is something which will always elude you (which, in your late 50's, you've probably guessed by now). And the reason it will never be yours, is because a man is defined by his actions, not his words or titles or wealth. You're big on words, but your actions are those of a juvenile punk, who never accepts responsibility for his own failures. Which makes you a darling of the social-misfit party (Socialist DemoRATs), but damns you to always being a loser in real life. You're the stereotypical ball-less leftist. You THINK you're tough, but really you're just another poser. Here's a pic that says it all:
