Rep. Virgil Goode, best known for his anti-Muslim statements made after Rep. Keith Ellison was elected the first Muslim to Congress, officially conceded on Wednesday in the very close race in Virginia’s 5th Congressional District.
After a recount, Democrat Tom Perriello defeated the Republican by 727 votes in a district that was overwhelmingly Republican. It was the last undecided House race of the 2008 election, and Perriello’s win puts the Democrats’ gains in the House at 21 seats.
In December 2006, Goode wrote a letter to constituents referencing Ellison’s decision to take his oath of office on the Quran and then wrote, “[T]here will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran. We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country.”

This is typical of hypocrites. I mean I don’t remember Native Americas giving entry visas to this hypocrite’s father and grandfather. What an idiot.

During the (ongoing)greatest genocide in the history of the planet, Native Americans should have (or could have) been giving entry visas to more European invaders? Name-calling is not so much hypocritical as it is juvenile.

OK, maybe I misread Lisa’s comment–did “what an idiot” refer to Native American or to Rep Good? Either way, name-calling is really not appropriate in what should be a civil discussion of issues.

Wow, I wish I had said that; “[T]here will likely be many more Muslims elected to office and demanding the use of the Koran. We need to stop illegal immigration totally and reduce legal immigration and end the diversity visas policy pushed hard by President Clinton and allowing many persons from the Middle East to come to this country.”
He is exactly right. A shame he lost the election. The dhimmitude of America continues. Hilarious that in this day and age people still cling to Iron-Age supernatural beings and mythological books as if they exist and are true. Utterly ridiculous yet scary too. Good-bye rational thinking, hello religious theocracy. Lastly, there is no such thing as a “Native American”. There is no human population “native” to North America. I will leave you with a quote from Thomas Edison: “I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God. So far as religion of the day is concerned, it is a damned fake… Religion is all bunk.”
