lieawatha

When some obviously Caucasian woman or girl proclaims some portion of her ancestry as being native American, without proof, and continues to claim such ancestry when her narrative crumbles, and evidence arises that not only is she not what she claimed, but her direct ancestors may have participated in any number of historical actions working against the interests of real American Indians. Further complicated by her ascribing and reporting on federal government forms such minority status, even though there are criminal penalties associated with purposefully misrepresenting such status. Made even worse when her employers make use of that status to highlight their diversity bonafides, quite possibly denying real American Indian descended but fully qualified applicants from real positions.

After evidence that her family participated in the trail of tears, the candidate for the Senate from Mass. was exposed as a lieawatha. Sadly she did not do the honorable thing and resign from the campaign, or her position at a formerly prestigious east coast school.

LGFize

1) The process of taking a once great blog, full of promise, wit, wisdom, and cratering it with attacks against your most vocal supporters, reducing the blog population to a group of sycophants, and the response to a mere echo chamber, accepting no disagreement and no dissent.

2) To pursue posters at other blogs who may be a member of your blog as being disloyal and banning them for their temerity to express themselves at other locations.

1) CJ LGFized his blog as he decided to rejoin the lefty blogosphere.

2) LGFizing several posters for daring to comment on another blog he did not like, CJ drastically reduced the number of quality comments and participants on his blog, reducing his traffic, and therefore, his income.
