Have a mixed heritage is as American as apple pie. Moreso. You don't "necessarily agree" what her heritage is? Who asked you? Why does your opinion about her heritage matter? Do you think she's lying?

The Obama birther issue did real damage. Did I believe it, absolutely not. Did it matter? Yes. Should he have put it to bed earlier? Yes.

I don't even know what this first sentence means, or why you think the question of where, physically, Obama was born has anything to do with the question of what heritage Warren has. The common thread here is that you seem to assume that people who aren't white may be lying and need to presume otherwise. Are there any people who say they're white whom you assume to be lying about it, or is this just a burden of being an ethnic minority?

And as far as this being political garbage...of course it is, but the issue in the public eye is whether she lied or not.

Not the public I know. A lot of people have raised questions about Obama and Warren in palpable bad faith. The issue in the public eye is why people (like you) keep giving credence to what you call political garbage.
