How many people attended? Who spoke? Is Judge Head going to resign? Do you have any pics you could put on your site, since there are no pictures or "real" news coverage about the event.

I understand how it could be interpreted that way, but I never said that. For one so nitpicky, I think you really should have caught that. The real problem is posting political opinion on a public notice board at the Courthouse. Regardless of Judge Head's past, that's the problem in the present. To his credit, he did apologize and promise to stop posting political stuff. @Seraphat — Firstly, I never said it was racist. I understand how it could be interpreted that way, but I never said that.

Then how do you know that facilitating community participation is "a load?" @lubbockleft: The only reason anyone would think the Obama-mugshot poster is racist is if they are looking for any excuse to call a conservative political official racist. The poster is a clear political statement - please point out on the text of the poster where it says one thing racist. Guss what? There are white people in the mug shots, too. Does that mean that white people should be offended by it? It is a clear political statement, no doubt about it. You mean a politician made a political statement? Heaven forbid! Or I guess we could all listen to Speaker Pelosi and can call anyone who disagrees with you "un-American." Hmm...I could have sworn that there was something about free speech that the Founding Fathers wrote about...an amendment, or something.... Have you by any chance looked at Judge Head's record to see how he acts? The support he's given and voted for to minority groups in Lubbock? Or how about when he was a Justice of the Peace and would bring the truant students (yes, minority students, even) alarm clocks so that they would be able to wake up and get to school so they wouldn't be truant any more? I guess you conveniently forgot that, huh? Would you prefer politicians who insult and degrade the very people they are supposed to represent, try to pass bills at 3:00 am, or try to pass a 1,018 page bill in two weeks without ever reading it? Tom Head is the kind of politician we need more of - those who stand up for what is right for everyone, who values life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and who will fight to give every member of the one race on earth, the human race, the opportunity to succeed above and beyond what they thought was ever possible. @ Texfedup: Did you try to talk to Judge Head about any of the posts?

Roosevelt. Did he post that one of Roosevelt's key Bullmoose party planks in his run for President in 1912 was NATIONAL HEALTH CARE. Head will cherry pick quotes to to impose himself on others. This is twisted behavior. Head claims he posted those things merely to "facilitate community participation". What a load. He did it because he wanted to bring attention to himself and to taunt others. His apology is not enough. Interesting, Head posts a quote from T. Roosevelt.

Mishin is the darling of the Limbaugh/Beck set. This essay has been making the rounds though out the radical right wing blogosphere.In some twisted way, right wingers view the piece as proof America is headed into Marxism. In another time this would have been considered Russian anti-American propaganda, and Mr.Head would have been bum rushed out of the court house. The ridiculous quote attributed to Abraham Lincoln is not the words of Lincoln at all; rather, those of William John Henry Boetcker (1873–1962), a religious leader and public speaker. Ronald Reagan liked to use this quote and misattribute it to Lincoln. basically to say, "Well, Lincoln may have freed the slaves, but he still wanted to keep the Black Man down." Still Judge Head and his apologists insist nothing he said was racist. Head also posted PRAVDA ONLINE Stanislav Mishin’s op-ed on America’s slide into Marxism.
