Ohio Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold, hid prejudiced comments behind anonymous name in online postings

This is a story from the Plain Dealer Newspaper's online blog "Cleveland.com" CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The cleveland.com username "lawmiss" gained national attention in March after The Plain Dealer reported it had links to Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold and had commented on cases before Saffold, including that of accused serial killer Anthony Sowell.

The chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court ultimately removed Saffold from the Sowell case because of the comments. Now, a search of Web sites visited by Saffold's courthouse computer has turned up lawmiss usernames on at least 10 other Internet domains.

Lawmiss comments on sites other than cleveland.com attack Arabs, disparage Asians and vilify white men.

They sneer at inter-racial relations, condemn homosexuals and rail against police.

For example, in a story about President Obama's aunt asking the U.S. for asylum, lawmiss blames Arabs for slavery. "It is still a common practice for Arabs to take advantage of blacks whenever they mix with us," lawmiss writes.
