Who is the liar, Senator Brown???

Great article in the Boston Globe about the whole dust-up Senator Brown and his campaign is making about Elizabeth Warren's claim of some Native American heritage.

Note both Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania have verified that her heritage was NOT a factor in her hiring, as Senator Brown has claimed.

Many members of her family are backing up her claims.

That man and his staffers are no more than outright racists!

to run ads calling her a liar. And yes, it is he, and not a PAC running it...his voice is there stating how he "approves" of the lies.

If people truly catch on, I will have no complaints about his downfall, either! What a piece of S***!

Fehrnstrom outed an African-American State Rep from Boston for being a transsexual. Hopefully, as Romney and Brown are flushed down the toilet, they'll drag Fehrnstrom down the pipes with them.

At this point, all he's trying to do is deflect from his Republican voting record and hope he wins on "charisma". Good luck with that

my family has a turbulent heritage that as an adult I've only begun to learn about. My dad's family denied their English heritage, and always claimed they were 100% Irish. My mom's family never really knew about my grandpa's heritage, which was Italian, French, and Spanish.
