There are Indians from the sub-continent of India and Indians who were the original inhabitants of America and are now called Native Americans.

the conservatives are trying hard to make sure the lower classes do not become well educated because they would be more difficult to screw

picture and think "that's Apu!".

Smells of O'Keffe/Milo/Trump juvenile assholery

Pfffttt

the dumbed down.."lock her up' chanters, love a slogan or gimmick. Less thinking..

Comrade Trump would take

(but problem due to her prominence; standards differ.) I wonder how many voters up there will go for it.

which does not of course make his point valid

continuing to raise the level of political dialogue in the age of the orange menace...

but Massachusetts has no tolerance for that kind of nasty ratfuckery.

From the linked article:

"Ayyadurai is no stranger to controversy.
The scientist is perhaps most well known for claiming to have invented email as a teenager ..."

Warren can run on issues and ideas.

Good luck with that, Shiva.

that this guy is a credible threat to our beloved Ms. Warren, whose ancestry means absolutely nothing to me.

is a Real Asshole.

the harder they embrace it.

this guy seems like pretty much of a charlatan. He claims to have invented "EMAIL" because he copyrighted a program called "EMAIL" in 1978, long after email was actually in use.

From nethistory:
Early email was just a small advance on what we know these days as a file directory - it just put a message in another user's directory in a spot where they could see it when they logged in. Simple as that. Just like leaving a note on someone's desk.

....

Before internetworking began, therefore, email could only be used to send messages to various users of the same computer. Once computers began to talk to each other over networks, however, the problem became a little more complex - We needed to be able to put a message in an envelope and address it. To do this, we needed a means to indicate to whom letters should go that the electronic posties understood - just like the postal system, we needed a way to indicate an address.

This is why Ray Tomlinson is credited with inventing email in 1972. Like many of the Internet inventors, Tomlinson worked for Bolt Beranek and Newman as an ARPANET contractor. He picked the @ symbol from the computer keyboard to denote sending messages from one computer to another. So then, for anyone using Internet standards, it was simply a matter of nominating name-of-the-user@name-of-the-computer. Internet pioneer Jon Postel, who we will hear more of later, was one of the first users of the new system, and is credited with describing it as a "nice hack". It certainly was, and it has lasted to this day.

maybe you should read about the Cherokee Nation, or better yet maybe you should grow-up, and while your growing up read this book, it pretty much tells you what it means for my Cherokee heritage that my mother taught me on how to be a man, and our circle of life, and not using words as some form of cliche....................do you understand the word cliche

I'm as white looking as she is and I have Lenape ancestry. Genetics and inherited physical traits are interesting in that way. If it's a few generations back.....

By calling her a "fake Indian", he is using a term many Native Americans find outdated and offensive. Picturing her with a war-bonnet to question her ancestry is flat out window-licking levels of ignorance. ****The Cherokee didn't f*cking wear them!!!!!!!!!!!****

So, in his not-so-subtle accusation of cultural appropriation, he's conflating different tribes/their customs and displaying his own racist stereotypes. Not surprising given that he's given to claims that are bullshit.

What a jerk.

I don’t like the cheap shots either, but this guy is obviously picking up on the RW talking point that Elizabeth Warren “made up” a story about her Native American ancestry. I don’t like it either, but I don’t think we need to pretend he is making some broader racist shot aimed at First Nations.

I mean, really? No one here has heard the criticisms that Warren lied (or exaggerated) about her ancestry?

So perhaps you could provide some actual evidence that Senator warren actually did lie about her ancestry? And which Native Americans have you spoken to about this? And what did they actually say, if you actually spoke to one or more?

This is racial bias baiting with absolute and unabashed ignorance. And I suspect that he is knowingly baiting an argument against Native Americans which will soon find its way out of the mouths of the polluted gene pool in DC.

I’m not casting doubt on Warren’s claims to Native ancestry; I’m just pointing out that this is a RW smear job they have used against EW. His ad slamming her as a “fake Indian” is playing on this RW smear. I don’t like him, I hate the GOP, and I hate this juvenile mud slinging politics of personal destruction. I just don’t believe his ad is a broader attack on Native Americans; it’s clearly an attack on Warren based on the RW smear that she lied/exaggerated her claims to Native American heritage.

His "real" Indian-ness isn't better than her real American-ness. All we care about is what kind of AMERICANS they are, and he seems to be choosing to identify with his Indian background more than his US citizenship. No, thanks.

I think she best represents what is good about the Democratic Party. My post was just an attempt to deconstruct the original attack on her (“fake Indian “) by pointing out how it is another RW smear that has been around for a while (as evidenced by what you saw on The View), and not necessarily IMHO a broader attack on all Native American First Nation people as was being suggested by so many in this thread.

Republicons smear, lie, cheat and distort. Let’s not be like them.

...with a multi-armed drawing of Shiva the destroyer of worlds and some clever phrasing about Warren being a builder of progressive coalitions???

And I'd check this guys funding-this is pure gop ratfucking.

in my initial google search.. what an asshole! Dude's a domestic abuser. (Multiple websites back up the tweet, including conservative media.)

He was born in Mumbai, India. Looks like we are comparing apples and oranges.

he has a record of domestic abuse.

and while he is running as an independent he is a republican.
