Munford Should Renounce PPT “Endorsement”
By
James Scott Trimm
In recent articles I have shown that
Protective Parents of Texas (PPT) has used the most dishonest of tactics in
attacking various of our Tarrant County Family Court Judges, including JudgeWells and Judge Haddock. (see list at bottom of this blog). PPT is an
organization co-founded and run by Jennifer Olson. In a recent article I documented that Jennifer Olson, who is a
family violence activist, was herself arrested just last year for family violence. This organization has made
claims in its many attacks on judges that I have shown to be factually
incorrect. I have also exposed their blatantly dishonest audio edits aimed at
creating the impression that Judge Haddock said things she did not say, or
answered questions in ways she did not answer them. (One edit was so blatant that Judge Haddock said something about
a certain individual even naming them, and the edit removed the persons name
and alleged that she had said it about a completely different person.) PPT has gone so far as to attack judges for
supposed for rulings in cases which the judges actually only simply signed off
on out of court agreements, as the law compels them to do. This organization has engaged in levels of
deceit that are rarely seen even in the dirtiest of dirty tricks politics,
going so far at to exploit the memory of a murdered child and her grieving
family for a dishonest political agenda.
On September 8th this reprehensible
organization essentially endorsed Tarrant Family Court judicial candidate Judge
James B. Munford, saying "Luckily for Tarrant County voters, Diane Haddock
has an opponent for the 322rd District Court: JAMES B MUNFORD." and
directing its readers to Munford's linked campaign Facebook page.
Of course Judge Haddock has not actually announced
that she is even running for the 322nd District Court, however that
has not stopped PPT from presumptuously declaring that she is. (but accuracy is not something we have come
to expect from PPT).
That said, an endorsement from Protective
Parents of Texas is a liability. An
endorsement from a reprehensible organization is not an endorsement one should
want to have. One may recall the Biblical account in which Paul was being
“endorsed” by a demoniac woman:
16 And it came to pass, as we went to
prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which
brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17 The same followed Paul and us, and
cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto
us the way of salvation.
18 And this did she many days. But Paul,
being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of
Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
(Acts 16:17-18 KJV)
When a candidate is endorsed by a
reprehensible organization, it is a common practice to renounce that
endorsement. For example, when Donald
Trump was endorsed by a publication with ties to white supremacy groups, his
campaign issued a statement to news outlets reading, "Mr. Trump and the
campaign denounces hate in any form. This publication is repulsive and their
views do not represent the tens of millions of Americans who are uniting behind
our campaign."
While PPT is not a white supremacy group,
its deceptive tactics are also repulsive. As someone who has himself endorsed Munford
(I did so back in June), I would strongly suggest that Judge Munford renounce
this PPT endorsement, as well as the dishonest tactics which PPT has engaged in
to viciously attack his fellow Family Court Judges.

DeleteIt's from the Facebook school of law. If you don't like the fact that a blogger is exposing dishonest claims made by you and your political organization, even if all his responses are factually accurate, just write a cease and desist statement, post it on Facebook, wave your magic wand, and presto, the first amendment is nullified.
