Globe Says Re Granny Warren: Oops, Our Bad

On April 30, 2012, The Boston Globe broke the story that Chris Child of the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) had located information about a marriage license showing that Elizabeth’s great-great-great grandmother was Cherokee. The Globe finally got around to correcting the story today but buried it in the “For the Record” correction section today: Because of a reporting error, a story in the May 1 Metro section and the accompanying headline incorrectly described the 1894 document that was purported to list Elizabeth Warren’s great-great-great grandmother as a Cherokee. Neither the society nor the Globe has seen the primary document, whose existence has not been proven. Howie wondered if this was shoddy reporting or political slight of hand.

But anyway the other thing we have that's going up is a the -- you know while this this guy -- -- -- and we McGee who is a and indeed it to one Deval Patrick and he was. He was charged in Florida in 2008 with sexual battery of a fifteen year old boy in a steam room. And they they set his bail 300000 and they they didn't press criminal charges but the family it's filed civil suit against -- settled out of court. Well we have a link to war 22 wore red mass group buy dot com. Which I got actually got a copy of the complaint and the complaint is extremely graphic and Doug gross and and if you you know I'm just I'm just warning I know that bright. As a as a told us a web master told me today said you know that'll drive people to the site myself I know it certainly drove me to the site. But you know if you if you do wanna see exactly what is charged with it's pretty disgusting and the fact that the fact that Deval Patrick. Wanted him to one go to work at the gaming commission as the interim director. Despite what he says that he didn't interfere and made that decision to. -- to put him in theirs they have a a gaming commission he's in the -- now he's now back in the governor's office. It. Why would Deval Patrick want this guy on him when you're after you read this and ask yourself back question why wouldn't -- I like this guy is. Who does things like this are allegedly those things like this around them. And why won't he grow visibly agitate. That's what what the reporter said last week when he was asked. About that Karl -- and we McGee is his friend is your friend having to give up the job. As as into -- as interim executive director of the gaming commission. When the news came out about him -- him must settling out of court on this a sexual on this charge of about sexually assaulting a fifteen year old boy. But anyway 18774. 69432218774694322. Randy Warren getting scalp -- -- both tied podcasters ouch oh yeah no kidding. One how we someone I have someone -- -- Dennis Miller's tweets from yesterday -- grainy Warren several times all areas. Did you catch -- with Rachel map out last night I didn't know I did not capture -- which I wonder she knew this was coming. This is the correction in the globe today out of the seat of the thing about the -- Warren here. Is that she she it's been pretty clear to anybody who follows this story closely. Or has followed it closely to anyone who listens to talk radio. Anywhere in the country anyone who who -- checks out the the Internet most that this woman is taken. Right but the thing is that they've had this this they had this 132. Spot or -- there have all the mainstream media. You know they can always -- Well you know the the New England historic genealogical society said that she has say yeah. She she that they found a document which suggest that she is 132. Indian. -- -- there is no such DM document. We've known this for days at least since Friday we have you know while Michael. Patrick Leahy. From -- part dot com on -- on the error on a Friday night talking about this he talked to the county clerk in the Logan county Oklahoma. In the keeps citing this marriage license application. There was no marriage license application. So so I guess the -- -- regularly keep got the globe keeps repeating that's why over and over again you know -- that's -- that's what they hang in there on. And be at all the other row liberal problem -- -- limousine liberal trust the fairies and Chris Matthews pipe organ news organizations. Are also want. Following in line. But the so finally I guess this Scott Brown's people said what you know you you guys have got the globe by meantime we know what's the globe you know Armenian -- not exactly known for your truthful -- Matter of fact you're known for making stuff -- but. You know this is too blatant even for the globe I mean you know the story -- faults. You know its faults and you're still running with it saying that she's one bit. Documents say that she's 132 in the yeah you know I mean they they know what's a -- -- it's like saying -- and there are documents saying that that the Jews wanna take over the world the protocols of the elders of mine and yelled at most documents exist but that doesn't make them true they order forgery. These documents are forgery they be someone just put a minute the only news like. It's a rumor. So what they and their -- the globe was quoting the New England by historic genealogical society so this morning the globe but tossed the globe cost. Was he what was he Warren under the bus correct and again this -- go to Howard -- but US and you can read the correction. Because of a reporting error a story in the may first metro section and the accompanying headline incorrectly described the 1984 document that was purported to list Elizabeth Warren's great great great grandmother as a Cherokee. But document alluded to in the family newsletter found by -- New England Historic Genealogical Society. Was an application for a marriage license not a license itself. Neither the society -- the globe has seen the primary document whose existence has not been proven. Been there clarification of the correction I was talking with Mike Michael -- about this before the show. It was -- big big document was an application for a marriage license not the license itself. They cannot get ahead then I'm going to war they're not going to be able to prove the existence of this document because there is -- Such document there was no such thing as a marriage application. And the wall and the globe and everybody else in the liberal media has known -- were at least. Four or five days probably longer and the epic still continued to say that Elizabeth Warren who claims that she's about 132 Indian. You know is you you know demise says she's proud of for native American -- There isn't a native American Heritage right into question there's only -- there's. She could still hang your hat on this her her grandfather's high cheekbones you know like all the Indians have high cheekbones. She said. -- -- That's what you call your form and then there's the other the other the other thing you know incontrovertible. Linking her to the to the Cherokee Nation. Her first cousin from Moscow geese editor ship of the famous Indian cookbook that I told you about yesterday. How loud -- That is. In some. Total. Were her. Evidence that she's an -- Her grandfather's alleged high cheekbones and her cousins editor ship of the power while channel called pork. And and for that for that she she got to be calling herself as a minority at the University of Pennsylvania and then it Harvard university law school. Before she was an Indian. Before she claimed to be an Indian she was just knocked around by going nowhere and her professional career as -- struck their. Then she became an Indian and suddenly -- guess what happened a meteoric rise. And and and now one now let's see how she handles list now the globe has as hoster under the bus now the genial lit the historic -- ideological so. IV or get that in a moment we don't we talked 21 we talked about had a bad PR person. At the genealogical society announced asked her if buy it if he wanted to be on. But died I you know he said he would he you'd think about it but I don't think he's gonna come on buddy who he was nice enough to at least that pick up the phone. And you know again he was just I think what happened with the genial logical society is that. Is that what they. They they're used to dealing with you know getting. Call for me you know -- And who and then as soon as the this is -- old Kremlin issue old friend over and all I'm looking. You'd like your mind relatives came over on the bay flow worst wind and have a mayflower gravy on Thanksgiving banking and help me now. And so they say share picture will help you miles. You know. Myles standish chrome and shield -- shield. And and they they didn't they didn't realize you know when they got caught in the initial calls from Harold actually they -- they being realized that -- step -- and this. And and biggest putt there were helping somebody out and they they were good they just -- the this is like not than they've ever seen before. One L all these people call them up all these bloggers and you know everybody pointing out that this is all BS. And you know what are they basing this on and they're basing it on nothing. 1877. So what. The the new England and a historical genealogical society which originally announced they found evidence of Elizabeth -- native American Heritage said today they have discovered no documentation to back up claims that she is 132 Cherokee. The end it in the DH GS has not expressed a position on whether mrs. Warren has native American ancestry nor do we possessed any primary sources to prove that -- is -- -- champ. -- -- He's the guy we talked to see in the united spokesman for the society we have no rope Elizabeth Warren's great great great grandmother OC Sarah Smith either is or is not of Cherokee. Dissent. The Herald reported today that an Oklahoma County Cork said document purporting approval -- Turkey wrote routes does not exist. We Jeanie does make the Logan county clerk said there are no marriage applications from nineteen from 1894 despite claims from Warren for gambling newsletter. And New England historical and genealogical society genealogy is Chris trial but indicated otherwise. All of which leaves warrant once again without any proof of heritage I don't occasionally get the group. I don't think they're -- it's hard to get -- when there's no proof of the -- and the people -- run and cover for you specifically the Boston Globe. Has now while backed away. Again I think the I think the globe as morrow. Some moron. In the satchel -- Elizabeth Warren and the society ias. 18 -- but now even the globe can't there's you know the globe can't be made I mean the clothes made the middle laughingstock of enough times in recent years making at that they can't go down this road again. Remember when they said that they were when they said the Texas Air National Guard story than it was was New York Times headline. A story about bush fake but accurate. This story is fake but in actor Jack your next with how we -- ahead Jack. Look at it ought to make the point an old grannies. Trying to get scrap around to that in the money back to JPMorgan. That. Would that make in -- ending at. A what do you project she's got more money out of Wall Street that he has but that all the talk about a preposterous a statement that she's made she's made so many -- -- in this campaign. She said what you know I may be getting more money from Wall Street that Scott Brown but you know the people who are giving me money. Want reform. In the people -- to giving Scott Brown money don't want reform. Long after the U. That's that's -- that's is believable as pop plus -- cheekbones. But. She says she is she. She that Shannon. She she has a regular at this staff floods. I use that she was the female ward Churchill and I'll be given the think she's the female John Edwards. Mean she's a bigger issues is big phony is John Edwards. Thanks thanks for the called Jack 10774694322. Frank you're next with -- -- cargo ahead frank. I know I spoke a -- approached Warren.

Yeah dog -- -- the Indians on F Troop had more Indian blood -- -- that Elizabeth Warren. Always a risk that -- and it's always did. Oh so you agree if you can play good point and. You -- you know what -- if if she in Belgium they -- she had it if there was any way she could get this year it might even if she didn't have a when this -- started she would've gotten it by now I mean. -- -- and the University of Pennsylvania or Harvard university law school white. Ask for this I mean -- is asking too much I mean if you apply for a job as a as a as a bus driver the MBTA. They ask you do you have a CDL right. It's kind of basic as that if you if you wanna Barrett then why they asked different I date right. I lifetime tenure and jobs are over 300 grand and they just walked in claiming to be an Ambien.

When it rains it pours I guess we're gonna find out tonight. Senator or as -- was with a Warren is finding out this and Drudge just posted a story from Politico Politico again. All the move back publications are turning on. Now -- political. And is a saying that they 1997. Fordham law review piece described Elizabeth Warren is Harvard law school's first. What fun of our. -- Oh scholar. Blow as better ice light below.

Mike two more as the you've -- all -- crimson. Harvard Crimson that she was a woman of color now Babson college and in Wellesley and he's not returning phone calls it. Yeah like so many people associated with this story and I'm gonna wanna. Getting more -- have been picked that Elizabeth Warren is the first woman of color. 187. And 74694322. How we don't forget. The globes chuck turner wrote a story about the Iraqi war crimes yet this was legal -- -- was another great -- Soria. But the chuck turner who's now in the federal -- for taken bribes Austin city councilor at that time. He got a he got some porn. And the US serviceman. Reaping I Iraqi women this was after the first by Iraq War end. The the the big global reporter told the -- that it was BS that it just wasn't true it was it was impossible to porn movie but but the -- wanted to war one of -- you don't -- the war effort hurt George Bush didn't care for which -- were not sold they put in a picture. You know on the metro for a month. Of of the from the porn movie that they claimed was and it wasn't atrocity. US atrocity -- a US such soldier draping. I Iraqi women and the the picture was. Which -- graphic. That you could actually see the genitalia in the picture. And that's I mean that's how that's how eager they were they didn't care for was true or not they just wanted to get out there to want to -- to you know to to. This is this is what happens when you have pushed arrangements in which they had and finally they had that they had to move it back into the back of Paper. The next -- in the next edition because somebody pointed out you know geez I know we all hate George Bush shear we gotta do what what we can do one destroy him but that. You know I don't think this is really good to be showing genitalia and the next thing of course they had to admit that was a porn movies that they had been showing a still from porn movie. And then of course like I said the guy -- the guy who while promoted this Thursday as a as an American atrocity is now in prison for taking bribes. But the globally of them why would -- -- I mean you know you hated bush stated bush. Same same thing right. 18774. It was the second gulf war someone tells me what was forced I'm sorry okay anyway.

Did the Obama team veteran when she was in line for the job with the administration certainly they had to found some of us. Don't think it will the -- for too hard to you know again this is an administration is somebody somebody as a text or just pointed out you know you have a guy who's a second a proven tax -- As -- -- as the head of the Internal Revenue Service the Treasury Secretary you you have all these people in the administration who wore a local taxes you have a an attorney general who committed perjury about the -- of the US border agent from a congressional committee mean this is this is kind of small potatoes compared that's office. 18774694322.
