Goode: Iraq Critics Are Helping ‘Jihadists Who Want The Crescent And Star To Wave Over The Capitol’
Goode: Iraq Critics Are Helping ‘Jihadists Who Want The Crescent And Star To Wave Over The Capitol’
During today’s House debate on Iraq, virulently anti-Muslim Rep. Virgil Goode (R-VA) said supporting the anti-escalation resolution would “aid and assist the Islamic jihadists who want the crescent and star to wave over the Capitol of the United States and over the White House of this country.” Moreover, he said, “I fear that radical Muslims who want to control the Middle East and ultimately the world would love to see ‘In God We Trust’ stricken from our money and replaced with ‘In Muhammad We Trust.’” Watch it:
In December, Goode wrote a now-infamous letter attacking Muslim Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and warning “American citizens” to “wake up” or “there will likely be many more Muslims elected to office.”
UPDATE: TPMCafe:
A top official at a leading Muslim group has just told us that GOP Rep. Virgil Goode’s fear that U.S. money may soon be stamped with “In Muhammad We Trust” is rather at odds with the actual history and theology of the Muslim religion. As this expert points out…Muslims don’t worship Muhammad. They are are monotheists worshiping a single God, called Allah in Arabic — not the individual Muhammad.
Full transcript:
We are in the middle of a four-day marathon here. While I cannot say that I agree with all of the actions of the president in dealing with Iraq, I will not be supporting H.Con.Res. 63. The eyes of the world are upon this House and there will be commentary from the Middle East to the streets of small town America about what we do here over this four-day period even though this resolution does not carry the weight of law.
When the commentary begins in the Middle East, in no way do I want to comfort and encourage the radical Muslims who want to destroy our country and who want to wipe the so-called infidels like myself and many of you from the face of the Earth. In no way do I want to aid and assist the Islamic jihadists who want the crescent and star to wave over the Capitol of the United States and over the White House of this country. I fear that radical Muslims who want to control the Middle East and ultimately the world would love to see “In God We Trust” stricken from our money and replaced with “In Muhammad We Trust.”

What does he think about the administration allowing 7,000 additional Iraqi refugees to come live with him?
February 15th, 2007 at 3:33 pmOh for criminy crikes sake, will somebody put this nutjob in a cage?
February 15th, 2007 at 3:34 pmIt’s so fun when they call in the clowns and court jesters before the serious people get to work.
February 15th, 2007 at 3:35 pmGoode is clearly a man who needs help. He was the one that spoke out against Congressman Ellison using a Koran. Goode may have been a difficult delivery or maybe his mother dropped him as a child, I don’t know. He doesn’t seem to be able to stand up in the House with saying something amazingly stupid.
February 15th, 2007 at 3:36 pmThis guys sounds like the KKK Grand dick heads from the 60’s. But of course he and the “republican’ts” will vote for this.
February 15th, 2007 at 3:38 pmWhat a clown. The scary kind, though, that would frighten “children” (ignorant American voters) with leering innuendo and straw-bogeymen. The Great State of Virginia should be ashamed for keeping this guy in office.
February 15th, 2007 at 3:38 pmAh, Mr.Goode…the star and crescent? As opposed to, say, a swastika? Or a white hood?

yet, he ignores the christian fundamentalists in our country who want the cross to occupy an equal or higher position to our flag. the christian fundamentalists if given the opportunity would purge our country of nonchristians and ‘heretics’.
February 15th, 2007 at 3:44 pmHow does the Congressman feel about Zalmay Khalilizad as the Bush Administration’s nominee for UN Ambassador?
Have the jihadists taken over the UN too?
February 15th, 2007 at 3:45 pmThe spirit of Father Coughlin is surely roaming the halls of Congress in this beacon of democracy, the United States of America.
February 15th, 2007 at 3:46 pmGoode may have been a difficult delivery or maybe his mother dropped him as a child, I don’t know.
Thats right you dont know, and for most of us, that is the cue to shut thy mouth. But you keep prattling on, it really shows your integrity.
February 15th, 2007 at 3:49 pmIt is my opinion that the US public must castrate the Bush administration through the use of our Congressional and Legislative branches. Expecting the leopard to change its spots has proven to be wholly unrealistic in that on issue after issue, without fail, the administration chooses the most devious and diabolical of methods necessary to achieve its objective.
When you combine the knowledge that the administration’s objectives themselves tend towards the immoral, inhumane, and outright insane with the facts of the consistent and undeniable methodology that the administration employs, the risk here is enormous. When seen in context with the damage that has already been done, the need for intervention is not just clear, but is the public’s obligation.
With the balance of power of congress now in the control of what is, bottom line, the opposition party to the administration, it is through this congress that the public can exercise its authority to shut the administration down completely. Nothing happens in this country without either the approval of congress or funding from it. The only power that the administration will have left will be the power of the “veto”, and I’m sure it would be used. But even that can be over-ridden and would also create a PR backlash that would be very negative for the administration.
And quickly, there are those who would point out that there are three branches of government and that the bush administration has control of the judicial. Sure, there’s been numerous appointments, but the bottom line is that the law is the law and in the current environment the law is definitely against the administration. A few cases here or there may get through on loyalty-greased skids but by far the actions will be based on firm law. And right now the law itself, as it should be in such cases, is the unwavering ally of the opposition to this diabolical administration.
My four cents…
February 15th, 2007 at 3:49 pmis this guy real? does he work for Al Franken? or is he THAT stupid!! i he is, i am ashamed to be from Virginia. sheesh!!
February 15th, 2007 at 3:55 pmhey if the cresent and star are good enough for south carolina it’s good enough for washington dc.
February 15th, 2007 at 3:55 pmWhat a fool! He couldn’t even get his insults right! Muslims would never, NEVER put “In Mohammed We Trust” on their money because Mohammed is not the Mulsim God, Allah is. The first rule (and pretty much only rule) of Islam is “There is no god but Allah and Mohammed is his prophet.”
What a moron. Just shows his true colors – bigotry and hate.
February 15th, 2007 at 3:56 pmHow/why there isn’t a smattering of “boo’s” from the House floor during such a bizzare outburst from some loony who speaks like it’s 1963, makes me ashamed of humanity.

February 15th, 2007 at 4:01 pmWhen are the Xians going to cast this jackal overboard? He’s giving them a really bad name!
Hello Virginia, I’m holding you personally responsible for this walking Kool aide dispenser.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:01 pmGoode’s blather is full of projections.
Who has invaded whom? Whose country has been destroyed by whom? Who is doing most of the dying? Who was advocating “let’s invade their countries” in order to change their religion by force? Who has destabilised the MiddleEast with a 4 year old occupation? Who has the bigger guns, the deeper pockets, and the bigger army?
But in true Orwelian fashion, it is “them” who pose a threat to peace-loving “us”.
War is peace. Ignorance is strength. And they want to occupy us…
February 15th, 2007 at 4:01 pmI wonder how many times a day this guy shits his pants in fear.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:04 pmGoode should receive the best award for the ‘most paranoid’ politician in the country.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:04 pmThese NeoCons need to be rounded up and put into prison very soon. No more talk:
Anyone out there that call themselves NeoCons and continue to believe in the lies that this party isn’t totally corrupt and morally bankrupt, then your fu@king morans.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:06 pmVirgil Goode-For-Nothing has opened his vile yap-trap once again and spewed out his jingoistic, racist, intolerant, demagogic hatred towards an non-existent problem. What do you expect from a creep who switched parties from Democrat to repugnant-repub and became a fudge-pachyderm of the Ghoulish Opportunistic Pedophiles? Goode(a more inappropriate name never existed) is also a thief, a knave and an unscrupulous dastardly crook who was implicated up to his eyeballs in the Randy “Duke” Cunningham scandal and barely escaped by the skin of his lying teeth! Using the repugnant-repub ploy of fanning the flames of religious and racial intolerance and jingoism, Goode-For-Nothing has ensured his defeat in his next election cycle…Keith Ellison has had the last laugh on this repugnant-repub racist crep! HAH!
February 15th, 2007 at 4:06 pmVince P and Ex would tell us what fools we are for not listening to this “man of Truth”
February 15th, 2007 at 4:07 pmDon’t hold your breath about Goode. Jesse Helms had to quit on his own before we got rid of him.
That being said, Goode has just accused anyone who votes against Bush’s surge as aiding and abetting the enemy during time of war.
Congress can censure morons such as this. I’d love to see the Democrats get backbones and start complaining about these types of insults. What do they have to lose?
February 15th, 2007 at 4:07 pmBut in true Orwelian fashion, it is “them†who pose a threat to peace-loving “usâ€.
War is peace. Ignorance is strength. And they want to occupy us…

As far as Iraqi immigrants, They will be packing meat in Minnesota in Ellisons own backyard along with the Somalis. And if that keeps up we will soon see a small new nation formed in Minnesota and probably annexed to Canada.

We can’t depend on the balless democrats, it’s up to the people now. If that isn’t obvious now then I don’t know what is?
February 15th, 2007 at 4:11 pmseriously, does he realize that his president is pulling for SCIRI?
February 15th, 2007 at 4:12 pmSince Mr. Goode will soon be looking for employment,
February 15th, 2007 at 4:12 pmhe should have relatively no problem securing a job
on . . . . The 700 Club !
Goode (what an ironic name for this clown) is a direct descendant of the Know Nothings of the 19th century, and their Ku Klux Klan offspring. All but the most rabid wingnuts would be embarassed that this nutjob speaks for them.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:12 pmDo his constituants support this type of bigotry as well? I imagine a majority of them don’t.

February 15th, 2007 at 4:14 pmAnyone else notice that his accent is kind of intermittent?
Anybody else get the impression this guy got beat up a lot in high school, and now wants to prove he’s tough and fits in with the cool kids?
February 15th, 2007 at 4:15 pmI agree. This is one sad paranoid fu#k. Goode needs to be locked up in a padded cell and treated – both in his own interest and the interest of the general population.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:16 pm(R) now stands for Racist.

As long as they believe that ‘god will get him (and those like him)” – as many do – never.
I didn’t have the stomach to rent Jesus Camp. But from the description on the back, it sounds like the Fundies are no less radical fighters for god than the guys who flew planes into the Twin Towers.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:17 pmToo late Goode, you already did. Seriously, somebody put this nutcase in a facility already.

February 15th, 2007 at 4:18 pmHe’s so stupid, he MUST be a parody…
…oh, he isn’t? I would say that the mind boggles, but after six years of this lunacy, my mind is no longer capable of that reaction.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:20 pmRep. Goode is incorrect. Al Qaeda and other radical Islamic terrorists do not want to see “the crescent and star” to wave over the United States Capitol dome….
Al Qaeda wants to blow up and destroy the U.S. Capitol dome, as they tried to do on 9/11, only to be foiled by the brave men and women of United 93.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:21 pmThomas Jefferson’s Charlottesville should have known better than to elect this jackass, again.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:24 pmActually, Muslims honor Mohammed, but they do not worship him. A key tenet of the faith is that there is no God but God and Mohammed is his prohet. They would be quite content with “In God We Trust,” although perhaps might prefer “In Allah We Trust,” which means the same thing.
And to think that this moron represents Thomas Jefferson’s home town and the University of Virginia. When will the disgrace end?
February 15th, 2007 at 4:24 pmHe must have been a Southern Baptist preacher man in a previous life (or maybe he’s practicing for the next life).
February 15th, 2007 at 4:25 pmThe only thing wrong with Congress and the Senate is the Racist Nazis Committee and the Goofy Opposition Party, yes the hate machine the Liars the twisters of the truth the riligious right Fascist who believe that Whirte is right and if you aren’t OUR form of christian (hating) and our form of white you are NOT a AMERICAN. So much for the opaasion party. NAZIS pigs.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:29 pm[...] Rep. Goode says that supporters of the anti-escalation bill (like, say, Sen. John Warner) would R… He fears “that radical Muslims who want to control the Middle East and ultimately the world would love to see ‘In God We Trust’ stricken from our money and replaced with ‘In Muhammad We Trust.’” Also, he wants everybody to know that JFK was assassinated by space aliens, there are spiders in Bubble Yum, and Mikey is, in fact, undead, thanks to Pop Rocks. [...]
February 15th, 2007 at 4:30 pmGoode is raising a stupid argument to a new level.
On and off the floors of Congress, Republicans make at least 2 claims that make no sense.
“If we don’t succeed over there, the terrorists will attack us over here.” Or, as Mr. Bush said in his 2/14 press conference “If we fail there, the enemy will follow us here”
Do they really believe that terrorists are waiting for some Iraq outcome before trying to hurt us here? If we “win” in Iraq, can we then let our guard down?
“If we fail in Iraq, Al Qaeda will be established in Iraq.”
Putting aside the fact that our invasion first brought some Al Qaeda to Iraq, we have little to fear if more are present. If more of them come, let them deal with the civil war there. And what will they gain in Iraq, use of all the nukes and other WMD that are there?
Republicans also claim that end the war resolutions undermine the morale of the troops. I doubt that most soldiers are affected greatly by Wahington politics. And if you ask them if they would like to see the end of the occupation and come home, guess what they would say.

February 15th, 2007 at 4:37 pmAnd of course the current resident of the WH is not trying to take over the world or raise a new (facist) flag over the Capitol and the WH. It’s just so sad that some of these Congresspeople really are too ignorant to be in public office, but they’re in Congress because Americans who are too ignorant to understand current events voted them in.
SUPPORT EDUCATION IN AMERICA!
February 15th, 2007 at 4:37 pmRE-ELECT AL GORE ‘08!
Goode is a MORON! HE belongs in the same party as “W”..He also belongs in a chain gang clearing brush on “W”’s farm WITH “W”.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:37 pm#43,
I think I saw that movie too. That was the one with John Wayne in it right? Where he’s a Navy Admiral on a sleek warship packed with humanitarian supplies and they are attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin?
I believe it’s the same movie. Of course, it could be a remake…
February 15th, 2007 at 4:38 pmRUCerious: That’s hysterical!
February 15th, 2007 at 4:39 pmI did notice this guy, like “W”, can’t even speak proper English.

Comment by wake-n-bake
Why no Boos? Because the house is empty. There’s a reason the cameras don’t show you anything except the speaker. Empty chairs don’t exactly inspire the masses. But all this talk of throwing neocons in prison? That is the exact oppostite of what we want. Just ignore them, or even better debate them. None of us want to live in a country where your words can be anough to throw you in jail. Especially words such as those plopping out of Goodes mouth.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:40 pmI think the man needs to have his meds adjusted.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:41 pmI’m always amazed by the thought that what we do politically or rather what we say via the political system will have more impact than invading a country will. Does one really think that ant sort of extremist out there is just waiting for the congress to have this, what I would say is a, vote of no confidence in the war? That somehow all of Al Quaida is sitting around hoping that the house o’ reps pass this resolution so their plan of having “in muhammad we trust” on our currency? How nationalistic/racist can you get?
February 15th, 2007 at 4:41 pmi get what i expect in the comments section, but who decides it is appropriate or in good taste to use the word “virulent” in describing Goode’s hateful ignorance?
February 15th, 2007 at 4:42 pmWar is peace. Ignorance is strength. And they want to occupy us…
…Very well put. Too add my two cents…
Freedom is slavery. And they were never ’stay the course’ (now known as ’surge’).

I believe that members of congress should have to take an IQ test and the result be used to weigh their vote. In order to determine the outcome of a vote, the IQs of each side would be summed. That would give the Democrats three quarters of the Senate and 95% of the House. If the same principle were applied to the electoral college, plus races for the Senate and the House – the Republican Party would only be a memory in about 5 years and 318 days. (LIEberman may be an exception to the rule.)
February 15th, 2007 at 4:48 pm“WOLVERINES!”
February 15th, 2007 at 4:48 pmMore racism. I’m not afraid of Muslims.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:49 pmIt’s amazing how little regard some conservatives have for our system. Amazing how little faith many of them have in its strength. This idea that there could be a religious flag hanging over the capitol. The founders rejected a christian flag. I think we can resist a muslim one.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:51 pmOne of my big problems with the xenophobes of congress is the fact that they refuse to do any research on their “enemy” (in this case Islam) before attacking it. They seem to think that to study something you disagree with is to give it the seal of approval. Mr. Goode’s horrific oration aside, no pious Muslim would put “In Muhammad We Trust” on money because Muhammad is not a deity. He is simply a man to whom God revealed the truth. It is these types of basic theocratic mistakes that cause people who don’t share our faith to hate us and think us evil. Way to go Rep Goode!
February 15th, 2007 at 4:51 pmThis man is a HERO. History will be kinder to him the anti-American left.

February 15th, 2007 at 4:58 pmDeath doesn’t take a holiday and Neither should the Congress. You want a week off when you can’t come to a consensus on a non binding resolution opposing this Atrocity taking place in Iraq caused by Bush’s lies and the sanctioning of these lies by the 109th congress and the media. A resolution that means nothing. What have you done to deserve a week off? Our soldiers don’t get a week off in fact their lives and plans are disrupted by extended deployments and reduced time at home between deployments.
February 15th, 2007 at 4:58 pmMy anger is all but uncontainable. Go ahead murder some more soldiers and Iraquis for what? George Bush’s lies upon lies upon lies upon lies upon lies upon lies…
If my 15 year old kid ask permission to go to a party and assures me the parents are going to be home and then when I call to check some one poses as the parents and tells me they will be home and no drinking or other illegal behavior will be taking place. And then I give this son permission to go to the party but at 9:30 PM that party gets busted with a bunch of minors drinking and no parents present does that mean my kid gets off the hook, even though I gave permission? No My kid not only gets in trouble with the law he gets in trouble with me not only for the drinking but more so for the attempt to mislead, deceive, act in an inappropriate manner = LIE LIE LIE Even if he doesn’t call it that, that is what it is, a lie.
Bush lied got people in his administration to lie; SEE Feith, See Libby, See Powell, see Cheney, See Rice, See Rumsfeld, SEE Wolfowitz see, see, see. He got congress to give him permission to use all necessary force as long as Iraq was a threat. Does that me he gets off the hook? No he’s in trouble with international law see war crime. He’s in trouble with the country see Impeachment and he’s in trouble with any person who really gives a damn about our troops and the fact that their lives have been cut short , burned and dismembered mentally and physically. WASTED all for a mans arrogance and lies.
DO SOMETHING!!!
Congress needs to in act binding resolutions that hold this man, George Bush, accountable for his lies that led to the illegal invasion of a country that DID NOT attack the United States.
You all don’t have any other options and please defer to those in your RANKS who were against this CRIME, Invasion, War whatever you want to call it from the beginning. See Feingold, See Murtha, See Kucinich.
What could you possibly be waiting for?
I read something about all that is left is for us to storm the castle with pitchforks and torches, and believe me I’m ready to kill Doctor Frankenstein. YOU helped create the monster that Iraq has become by not holding BUSH in check it’s your JOB (what you get paid to do.) SAVE our Soldiers, SAVE our soldiers get them out of IRAQ NOW.
Spin it any way you want, the blood of the dead in IRAQ our soldiers and the Iraquis is on your hands and it won’t ever wash off. Live with that.
In anger and despair

February 15th, 2007 at 4:59 pmThank goodness for Virgil Goode. I absolutely love it! Every time these nutjobs open their mouths, America is reminded what kind of whackos the Republicans have become. I say more Virgil, more Cheney, more Bush…heck, more McCain! Going back to Nixon, the Republican party has become a haven for the criminally insane. They’ve dropped their code words, and their winks and nobs, and shown themselves to the American public in their full bigoted and corrupt glory. Keep talking Virgil…you’re doing your country a favor.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:00 pmThis guy gives too much credit to a fractured band of militias bogged down in their own war

what a back-asswards racist.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:05 pmJohnny Be Goode is at it again – making a jackass of himself is his specialty. Goode is good for the Dems – helping them to recuit daily with such ridiculous inane blather…..this guy looks certifiably diseased.

Doesn’t this imbecile know the greatest phrase in Islam is “There is no God, but Allah and Muhammed is His Prophet. Hasn’t ANYONE in Washington had enough sense to tell this jagoff that our God and Allah are one in the same????
Good lord, Virginia starting to look an awful lot like Alabama!
February 15th, 2007 at 5:09 pmWHAT A TOTAL FREAK
This guys is so full of insane rhetoric it’s hard to know where to begin. I’m not sure if he needs mental help or if Goode is just playing his sickening GOP part in their freakish actions to aviod oversight of this criminal president and his policies.

February 15th, 2007 at 5:09 pmAllowing these idiots to show their lack of intelligence is an eye-opener for citizens. It’s textbook for “You can dress ‘em up, but you can’t take them anywhere’ …. or even better: “You can’t polish a turd – once a turd, always a turd.” Virgil Bigot Goode is a class A turd brain.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:10 pmVirgil looks like he needs another cigarette to put the last nail in his cancer coffin. This guy looks like the walking dead! Someone please get him to a doctor soon!
February 15th, 2007 at 5:11 pmThis is more of the same. Anyone that is a critic of anything the Bush Administration does is some how “aiding the enemy”. What aid? I mean, the “enemy” has all it needs and it gets it from fools like Rep. Goode. You have a completely incompetent, ignorant, and bigoted Administration supported by twits like Rep. Goode. The “enemy” doesn’t need anymore help. They are getting more than enough from buffoons like Goode.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:12 pmVirgil “son of confederate TRAITORS” Gooof…

February 15th, 2007 at 5:16 pmMcCarthyism is alive and well. It’s new name is Goodeism. Jail the liberals and the leftists and the Democrats and the Hollywoodists before America becomes tainted with non-Christian, non-white evildoers!
February 15th, 2007 at 5:17 pmBy the way, I just had to do a little bio check on old Rep. Goode. Figures, he never served in the military at any point in his life. That, along with being incompetent, ignorant, bigoted and chickened out of military service seems to be the only qualifications required these days for the Republican Party.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:21 pmwho voted this guy into office????? those are the people i am scared to death of…….
February 15th, 2007 at 5:22 pmI forget who posted this the other day, but I’ll reiterate the point: The Dem’s move to allow every member 5 mins. to speak out on the Iraq resolution is pure genius. Just look at the material it’s provided to this site alone!!!

February 15th, 2007 at 5:30 pmAs someone who is from Mr. Goode’s district, I apologize. Luckily I have left that area and moved to Oregon. Nevertheless my comment is that my understanding of “In God We Trust” was supposed to be inclusive of all religions/gods, not just the Christian god. If this is true than the so called radical muslims would have no need to change our currency. Amen.

Okay Mr. Frist, thank you for the long distance diagnosis.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:33 pmWhat an ignorant. Muhammad is not a God. Muslims trust in God as the Chritians do. He should not be about currency at least. Mr. Goode you will do lot good if you learn about the other cultures, religions and have some tolerance like Jesus.

It was put there in the 50’s by Congress, along with ‘under god’ being addedto the pledge during the heyday of The Great Communism Scare.
Only three religions worship a single god. And many Americans worship no god at all.
It shouldn’t be there in the first place. It’s a blatant violation of the First Amendment.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:36 pmGoode used to be a Democrat but switched parties.
He’s maintains this image of a populist maverick, and even though it’s not right I don’t think this will hurt him politically.
His constituents, who live in a part of Virginia that’s been devastated by manufacturing job losses, courtesy of globalism, are going to see this as “Maverick Virgil takes on the Islamic terrorists and liberal media for that matter.”
Not saying I agree, just calling it like it is.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:38 pmLet him know that end time has already started the day Iraq was attacked by some thieves and criminals whose ancestors have stolen 4 continents out of only 7 after fall of 800 years of Muslim rule in Spain.

Yes the British Empire – now called the American Empire – is alive and as hungry for new conquests as it ever was…
February 15th, 2007 at 5:38 pmI’ve read every one of the comments (101 comments in less than 2 hours – way to go, Rep. Goode for inciting such a response) and not one of them had a favorable opinion of the Rep….with good reason, of course. But, I’m sure Fox News would come up with a sensational twist to the threat of THE CRESCENT………
February 15th, 2007 at 5:40 pmThis creature needs a trip to a speech therapist, to say
the least. He is the type that turns the word Jesus into
a 4 syllable word. All for emotive effect, and the passing
of the plate, if not wind.
Talking in Dixie tongues, along with a Dixie Flag.
Is this really the best Virgina can do? No wonder
February 15th, 2007 at 5:44 pmthe Republic is in a state of decay. Keep carrying
that muddy water Congress Critter Masta’
Goode is afraid of the cresent and star waving over the capitol of the United States but what he neglects to say is that according to the Pentagon, there are at least 737 U.S. military bases overseas. This was as of 2005. So, who’s trying to take over whom, exactly?
February 15th, 2007 at 5:45 pmdoes he think Muslims worship Mohammed?
February 15th, 2007 at 5:45 pmUmmmm…Virgil…Sorry to burst your bubble, but…Muslims don’t worship the Prophet Mohammad.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:48 pmThat’s idolatry.
In Islam it is clearly stated, “There is no God, but God. Mohammad is his Prophet.”
Unfortunately, Goode’s congrasional seat probobly ain’t in jeapordy. He comes from a district where people get beat up for looking too Italian.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:50 pmOh my God, or Allah, or whatever…

A crescent moon and a star!
And you know what you’ll see in about 3 days if you look to the west at sunset… you guessed right again! A crescent moon and a star!
By golly, is this cosmic or what????????
Same as in Christinaneity. There is no god but jesus and god is his daddy.
February 15th, 2007 at 5:55 pmoops!
Wouldn’t it be “In Allah We Trust?”
Oh well, why quibble. I think it should be in “In Moloch We Trust.”
I always liked Moloch, on the other hand Ba’al was nice too.

February 15th, 2007 at 6:02 pmHey wait… let’s see if this “fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here” thing works out. If it does think of the possibilities….
Illegal Immigration
We could go fight the Mexicans over there so they wouldn’t come here.
The Mafia
If the Mafioso blew up Grand Central Station we could invade France so we wouldn’t have to fight them over here.
Better yet we could out-source all of the fighting to India or the Philippines.
All we are saying is give war a chance.
February 15th, 2007 at 6:05 pmEveryone should take a look at Fred Upton’s (R-MI) speech from the floor yesterday on his OPPOSITION to the escalation. It’s great, and it sounds like he’s catching hell for it.
Thank you Mr. Upton for your courage in this matter. Hopefully supporters from around the country will call you and give you an attaboy

February 15th, 2007 at 6:13 pmWhat an idiot….He should have at least known that Muslim’s put their trust in God and not Muhamed. Put this guy in a strait jacket…
February 15th, 2007 at 6:16 pmDue to Senator Goode’s harmful ignorant misinformation and statements about Islam: I’m guessing that his fount of information about other minority and majority religions as practiced in the U.S. and abroad is substandard. given his responsibilities of employment. I’m especially disgusted – I thought he had recently stopped his grandstanding statements. I believe he needs to be replaced immediately.

February 15th, 2007 at 6:20 pmIt appears Rep Goode is unteachable — he needs to go.
February 15th, 2007 at 6:25 pmAmerican radical Christians (such as Goode) aid the “radical muslims” through their unnecessary and illegal war and occupation of Iraq. Why does the right wing hate American democracy? Why does the right wing aid Osama bin Laden by increasing the hatred of Americans in the world?
February 15th, 2007 at 6:30 pmVirgil Goode; your pointed hood and white sheet costume is ready for pick-up at the dry-cleaner’s.

Thanks, Unbe, for re-stating the truth about “under god” — so many people have no clue that it was added in the ’50s to try to oppose the idea of the ‘godless’ Communists.
February 15th, 2007 at 6:56 pmIf Goode thinks that Muslim worship Prophet Muhammad, his belief is totaly wrong. Goode has a lot to learn about Islam. Here was the speech of Abu Bakr who was to become the 1st Caliph upon Prophet Muhammad’s death.
“O people! If anyone among you worshipped Muhammad, let him know that Muhammad is dead. But those who worship Allah, let him know that He lives and will never die. Let all of us recall the words of the Qur’an. It says, `Muhammad is only a Messenger of Allah There have been Messengers before him. What then, will you turn back from Islam, if he dies or is killed”

You might be surprised at how many of them work in my school system… I am.
One of my students asked me last week if I was an Atheist, after I explained that my veganism was not religion induced because I’m not a religious person. I was honest, and just said that I was with no further explanation.
In the days that have ensued, four of my students have freely admitted to being Atheists. I’ve begun to believe that the Center of American Atheists is right – that we have to ‘come out’, so that others will feel strength in doing the same.
We’re not the paltry dot in the population that the religious right would have the country believe…
February 15th, 2007 at 7:05 pmNice job your doing Virgil.As your president would surely say. I am a Democrat,and your sure making your party look like the poop they are.
February 15th, 2007 at 7:21 pmIts RACIST republicans like this bastard, that give the other racist republicans an evern worse name.
February 15th, 2007 at 7:21 pmi would only ask this character and any other of the Pat Robertson types out there to SHOW ME THE QUOTE of one, just one single solitary Muslim who has EVER spoken about removing “in God We Trust” from the US money and replacing it with “In Muhammad we Trust.”
That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. How much longer are we going to see Islam demonized for no reason just so that Western corporations can feel better about invading and occupying what they see as their OIL interestes in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East.
As a Muslim, I cannot even imagine any other Muslim advocating anything like this. Muslims believe in ONE GOD and Muhammad is the messenger of this ONE GOD. No Muslim could or would ever say “IN MUHAMMAD WE TRUST” nor would they want to impose it on Mr. Goode and his dollars.
This reminds me of a quote I just read from the Prophet Muhammad. These quotes are there for anyone to read. Why do people like Mr. Goode insist on making up stuff?–
In Islam, people aren’t even permitted to let themselves be oppressed. It is a sin, Mr. Goode.
“HADITH OF THE DAY: HELP PREVENT OPPRESSION
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Help your brother whether he is an oppressor or the oppressed.” A man then said: “I will help him if he is oppressed, but if he is an oppressor, how shall I help him?” The Prophet replied: “By preventing him from oppressing (others).”
Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Hadith 84
VERSE OF THE DAY: THE OPPRESSED SHOULD DEFEND THEMSELVES
“Whatever you are given is nothing but a provision for the transitory life of this world, better and ever lasting is the reward that God has for those who believe, put their trust in their Lord, avoid major sins and shameful deeds, forgive even when they are angry, answer the call of their Lord, establish regular prayer, conduct their affairs with mutual consultation, spend (in charity) out of the sustenance which We have given them, and when they are oppressed, help and defend themselves.”
The Holy Quran, 42:36-39
February 15th, 2007 at 7:23 pmPerhaps it is time to add another phobia to list we already have -Islamaphobia -.
February 15th, 2007 at 7:28 pmDo idiots like Virgil Goode really believe that a small bunch of extremists will overtake the world. Not even the worlds greatest superpower can achieve that – they can’t even win in Iraq, and that is with the support of all their allies. Pray tell us Mr Goode, if the USA can’t master Iraq, how the hell are a bunch of so-called terrorists going to master the world. There are too many paranoiac idiots in politics and its about time we started screening politicians for mental illness and stupidity. It this this kind of politician that represents the greatest threat to world peace.
Are the residents of Virginia proud of their representative?
February 15th, 2007 at 7:31 pmThis guy is as bad if not worse than George Allen. Are all Virginians racists and bigots?
Here is one interesting verse
February 15th, 2007 at 7:33 pmSurely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.
Koran [2.62]
He’s just sore that the Confederate Flag isn’t flying over the U.S. Capitol so his family could keep their slaves on the plantation picking cotton.
February 15th, 2007 at 7:37 pmI would bet that there are more right wing christians who would like this to be a christian theocracy in this country than there are muslims who would like it to be a caliphate. It took 19 muslims to kill 3000 people, but it only took one adherent of the Christian Identity movement to blow up 168 people. Christian Tim McVey was a more efficient terrorist than any of the muslims on 9-11.
February 15th, 2007 at 7:40 pmI mean, if the President of the US comes up with such a thing like the Axis of Evil, that every government in the world laugh about it, what can you expect from a little sad minion like Goode.
February 15th, 2007 at 7:40 pmAnd I thought the insurgents in Iraq were nothing but a bunch of dead-enders who were in their last throes just a few years ago.
I also thought the US was “winning” in Iraq.
What gives?
February 15th, 2007 at 7:49 pmThe Dems have got to turn this BS rhetoric against the Bushists. Every time one of them vomits this stupid “If you don’t obey Beloved Leader, you’ll make the troops cry” crap, list every single Veterans Admin service budget that Bush has slashed. List all of the equipment shortages for the troops who are already there. List all of the cronyism, the missing money, the war profiteering by Bush-related companies, and *especially* that Israeli-built RPG defense system that the Pentagon refuses to use. Then spell it out very cleary using these short words so everyone will understand. The Republicans, Beloved Leader included, not only DON’T support the troops, they actively WANT THEM TO SUFFER AND DIE.
February 15th, 2007 at 7:53 pmIt is the bush crime family who would love to fly the stars and stripes over every oil rich country in the world.
February 15th, 2007 at 7:53 pmGoode is a bullcrap redneck ignorant. He is not a christian but perhaps, eugolize with KKK. His comment shows his deep hatred and hostility. His belligerent comment shows his pure idiocy, lack of tolarence and wisdom.
Surely he incite violence and we need raise a red flag. He is a sham for the senate.
February 15th, 2007 at 8:05 pmExactly how? How? If the Russians cant do it then the arabs never will. We have nukes. If anyone…. anyone gets us down … they all die. We dont lose our homeland without taking yours away also. It really is that simple. So how are the arabs going to stop our nukes and somehow invade our country with enough people to suppress hundreds of millions of gun carrying Americans?
Space aliens could do the same thing… they COULD exist… and if they do they probably have powerful weapons… so why not get right at that whole space war fleet now before it is too late.

February 15th, 2007 at 8:38 pmThe Truth About Muhammad: Founder of the World’s Most Intolerant Religion
Muhammad: a frank look at his influential (and violent) life and teachings
In The Truth about Muhammad, New York Times bestselling author and Islam expert Robert Spencer offers an honest and telling portrait of the founder of Islam-perhaps the first such portrait in half a century-unbounded by fear and political correctness, unflinching, and willing to face the hard facts about Muhammad’s life that continue to affect our world today.
From Muhammad’s first “revelation” from Allah (which filled him with terror that he was demonpossessed) to his deathbed (from which he called down curses upon Jews and Christians), it’s all here-told with extensive documentation from the sources that Muslims themselves consider most reliable about Muhammad.
Spencer details Muhammad’s development from a preacher of hellfire and damnation into a political and military leader who expanded his rule by force of arms, promising his warriors luridly physical delights in Paradise if they were killed in his cause. He explains how the Qur’an’s teaching on warfare against unbelievers developed-with constant war to establish the hegemony of Islamic law as the last stage.
Spencer also gives the truth about Muhammad’s convenient “revelations” justifying his own licentiousness; his joy in the brutal murders of his enemies; and above all, his clear marching orders to his followers to convert non-Muslims to Islam-or force them to live as inferiors under Islamic rule.
In The Truth about Muhammad, you’ll learn
- The truth about Muhammad’s multiple marriages (including one to a nine-year-old) – How Muhammad set legal standards that make it virtually impossible to prove rape in Islamic countries – How Muhammad’s example justifies jihad and terrorism – The real “Satanic verses” incident (not the Salman Rushdie version) that remains a scandal to Muslims – How Muhammad’s faulty knowledge of Judaism and Christianity has influenced Islamic theology–and colored Muslim relations with Jews and Christians to this day.
Recognizing the true nature of Islam, Spencer argues, is essential for judging the prospects for largescale Islamic reform, the effective prosecution of the War on Terror, the democracy project in Afghanistan and Iraq, and immigration and border control to protect the United States from terrorism.
All of which makes it crucial for every citizen (and policymaker) who loves freedom to read and ponder The Truth about Muhammad.
February 15th, 2007 at 8:44 pmIs it not time to “water the tree of Liberty” before it lives no more?
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”
It would be a hell of a lot more honorable than just leaving it for our children to deal with.

“Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.” – John Stuart Mills
Which were you?
February 15th, 2007 at 9:09 pmEvery time I come into this blog and see all of you going off on something these people say is amazing to you, how could they say something like that? It’s because you don’t understand Neo-Conservative dogma. First off the “Neo-Conservatives†are neither new, nor conservative. They have the same old Straussian/Machiavellian beliefs that were adopted by the present administration. “Strauss thought that a political order can be stable only if it is united by an external threat, and following Machiavelli, he maintains that if no external threat exists, then one has to be manufactured,â€
“Because mankind is intrinsically wicked, he has to be governed,†Strauss wrote. “Such governance can only be established, however, when men are united-and they can only be united against other people.†Strauss’ established governance, is made possible through “aggressive, belligerent foreign policy,†and “perpetual war, not perpetual peace, is what Straussians believe in.†A Straussian society needs an endless war to supply a “them†against which “we†will do endless battle. The endless war, such a horrible prospect for the rest of us, provides the political glue to transform the United States from a Democracy to a Straussian totalitarian state.
The visible leaders of this state are the “gentlemen.” Drawn from the best families, trained to appear like leaders, imbued with the language of honor and piety, they are the Straussian State’s figureheads. Although Strauss advocated a single state religion for the hoi polloi, at the top guiding the gentlemen, was a secret cabal of atheistic “philosophers.” Strauss knew, and believed that all great philosophers knew, that religion is hokum. It was necessary for the masses, but not for the philosophers who, Strauss thought, would secretly rule the state. These atheistic philosophers would supply Machiavellian wisdom to the gentlemen. Drury notes that in attributing wisdom to the philosophers Strauss is not a conservative, for conservatives believe that the traditions of the society, as they have developed over time, and not these philosophers, are the repository of wisdom. The society Strauss envisions is really only “good” for these philosophers. Everyone else is forced to live in delusion. Of course, Strauss believed average people couldn’t bear the truth and needed the comfort of religion, so he argued that his hierarchical state was good for them too.
Because they reason in secret, the Straussian philosophers must form a secret society in which they reveal the truth to their students, “the puppies.” Their works will contain their real “esoteric” meaning hidden in a diversionary “exoteric” meaning. And since these philosophers will be political they will form a cabal in order to rule. Their job, at first, is to wean America away from its “love affair” with liberalism. To do this they will drive a wedge between liberalism and democracy. Strauss distinguishes between the two. “Liberalism is concerned with securing the greatest possible freedom for individuals. And this may very well be accomplished with a constitutional monarchy. Democracy is the rule of the people, or rule according to the will of the people or the majority.” It can easily be used to suppress liberalism. By demagogic manipulation democracy, through a populist appeal, can be turned against liberalism. Since the cabal tells the truth only to its own elite members, and dissembles to everyone else for the purpose of welding together this rigid hierarchical structure, lying to the public is a virtue. Indeed all the gentlemen’s speech to the public, supplied by the philosophers, is for the purpose of manipulation.
The essential first task for the philosophers is to produce ideology that the gentlemen will use to attack liberalism and gain power. Strauss’s hatred of liberalism is so virulent that he sees the struggle against it as a war, and in war all is fair. For this reason Straussians will use every dirty trick they can think of in the democratic arena in order to defeat liberalism. While doing so they will corrupt democracy itself. But since democracy is only a tool with which to defeat liberalism in order to institute the true Straussian hierarchical society, this is of little import. In the end they will jettison democracy if to do so is expedient.
After it defeats liberalism, the cabal will still have work to do to institute the Straussian good society. Even with religion and the lies of the philosophers, the society will not be stable. “Strauss thinks that a political order can be stable only if it is united by an external threat, and following Machiavelli, he maintains that if no external threat exists, then one has to be manufactured.” The fundamental political categories are “us” and “them.” A sense of perpetual crisis and war cements the society together with absolute loyalty to the gentlemen. But the categories “us” and “them” do not stop at external enemies. The sense of crisis makes the struggle against internal enemies an even more desperate war of “us” against “them.”
Since domestic politics is also conceived in terms of war, the rules of democracy must not be allowed to prevent victory. Opponents of the ruling cabal, whatever their stripe, are “them.” Indeed, since the cabal of philosophers is deceiving everyone else, even those who have joined the cause out of religious zeal are, in a real sense, “them.” A small circle of initiates who repel the advances of everyone else is a feature of the Straussian State. These initiates are philosophers who rely on reason, and nihilistic reason tells them there are no rules, none, in this domestic battle.

February 15th, 2007 at 9:14 pmOh, Lord God. This is the man who represents Albemarle County, home to the man who, more than any other than Washington himself, is responsible for a secular American republic. Whose home was preserved by American Jews who admired him because he welcomed a secular government that in turn, welcomed them. Who founded a university which challenged bigotry as a policy, and, in its ideal, made reason its god. What a flaccid redneck this district has spawned, all in the name of white entitlement.
February 15th, 2007 at 9:35 pmWhat a moron! I cant beleive he is an elected ANYTHING! Who voted for this tool-bag?
February 15th, 2007 at 9:42 pmUndoubtedly this guys dice are missing a one or two dots….however, how would you like to get stuck in the Virginia district that elected this kracker…? His constituents could have been subject material for some of the characters from Deliverence. How else could this guy get elected?
February 15th, 2007 at 9:43 pmI agree with the earlier posts aobut the total utter insanity of Goode’s comments. But remember that Goode got a letter from GOP Rep. Hoekstra and GOP Rep. Shadegg, which instructed the GOP what to say during the HR debate. Hoekstra and Shadegg told their GOP team NOT to talk about the Iraq War or Bush’s escalation.
Looks like Goode took the GOP letter a little too seriously. He went crazy today–but don’t blame the poor guy. He was following GOP orders and flipped his lid.
February 15th, 2007 at 10:06 pmI am glad to see we have elected officials who are not afraid to take these Muslims on man to man and face to face.

February 15th, 2007 at 10:12 pmIf an impartial and reasonable observer, let’s say from another planet, were to judge the overall state of our nation and our world solely by the performances of Dick Cheney, Stenny Hoyer and Heather Wilson, aired on c-span thursday, they would be forced to conclude that America is now firmly embarked on a monumentally dysfunctional and catastrophic course of historic proportions, equal in consequence to the emporer Nero’s fiddling as Rome descended into conflagration, dissolution, and ruin. Thankfully, however, the mandate which We, The People of The United States Of America delivered in the form of the incontrovertable results of our most recent mid-term elections, tell a much more encouraging if somewhat less than entirely positive story.
The disasterously selfish, narrow-minded, greedy, wholly reprehensible, amoral and regularly traitorous Republican policys initiated by b-movie actor cum Presidente Ronald Regan have now almost run their noxious course through the bloodstream of our body politic, yet by the grace of Providence, Americans, as proven by the resounding mandate of November 2006, at long last have in fact awakened from the tortuously fevered nightmare of the pitiably disgraceful 20 year GOP reign over our beloved Constitutional Republic.
Although a significant count of these virulent germs remain in our system and do depress our national vitality, the night is over, dawn is breaking, the real Morning In America has arrived, at long last the day does truly lie in all its glorious promise and splendor before us, and just as generations of our ancestors have done, the real patriotic Americans, the patient ones, the humble ones, the good ones, the smart ones, shall now summon and renew all of our strength and all of our courage to entirely shake off the last few encumbering, and thus no less annoying, parasitic vestiges of this national sickness which is now, as it was on the eve of Watergate, in its inevitably ghastly last dying throes.
A mercifully short yet for that brevity no less disturbing summary in order to highlight, as it were, the actors in this charade, is regrettably called for, just as brushing the accumulated detritus from one’s teeth is the necessary though never pleasant first duty to one’s self upon arising from a long and sometimes critical convalescance: this self-proclaimed party of moral values, including Cheney, Bush, Rice, Rumsfeld, Hastert, Foley, Guiliani, Gingrich, Frist, Delay, Snow, Cunningham, Foggo, Donohue, Coulter, Limbaugh, Beck, Kristol, Hannity, O’Reilly, Noe, and Libby, among many others, have all been engaged in a deliberate progamme here on our American soil which cannot be considered anything less than entirely fascistic and entirely unamerican.
Let us turn now to consider the aforesaid remarks on c-span. Heather Wilson, decked out in a hideous blue dress of all things, looking and sounding literally like the Bride Of Frankenstein in a singularly weird multi-part blue grey coif to make Boris Karloff himself green with envy, delivered an indescribably excruciating address, yet try to describe it we shall, detailing the ostensible reasons for her opposition to the Democratic resolution opposing a so-called “surge” of yet 20,000 more American troops into the disaster that is Iraq, at an overall cost and debt of some nine trillion dollars, intentionally created for the oil and weapons interests, among others, to enrich their already bloated bank accounts.
Now now, the voices of continued aquiescence posing in their fear as moderates appeal, that is just kooky crazy fanatical conspiracy theory. Well, then, if all of this wasn’t intentional, if it is all just mere
bad luck and happenstance, then the Republican engineers and Democratic enablers of our condition are so incompetent, so short sighted, and so blisteringly ignorant that to paraphrase Sir Winston
Churchill they are not fit to manage a whelk stall.
In her strange, hysterical, teary and entirely petulant performance, Ms. Wilson said that the resolution really doesn’t do anything, that because it only mandates support for past or current service persons
it ignores the surgers, and further that the American left wants to summarily cut off all funding for our troops. To say that Wilson’s singularly ingenuous remarks put the cart before the horse is entirely too kind to her. Would that any Republican ever evinced any fraction of such histronic concern for the economic plight of any sector of our beloved nation other than our military. Republicans, apparently,
do not have any notion of progress, economic or otherwise, which does not contain an unimaginably expensive and sadistically restrictive government and deadly military paradigm as its sole centerpiece and raison d’etre.
As Mr. Murphy in his courageous, patriotic, and imminently worthy speech aptly noted, the time for more troops was four years ago. Furthermore, in point of fact, the record clearly and unambiguously
proves beyond any question whatsoever that the American left has opposed all of the Republican policys since the time of Ron “Bonzo” Regan which have led directly to this contemptibly sorry and sordid pass to begin with, yet for all of that, not one even marginally responsible voice on the American left in any way has ever, does ever, or will ever advocate defunding our Best and Bravest, as Steny
Hoyer, looking directly into the camera, and speaking directly to our troops, clearly said in so many words, which cannot be misconstrued, misinterpereted, spun, whitwashed, twisted, distorted or otherwise confused by any even semi-conscious marginally sentient person over the age of 9.
Ms. Wilson, whimpering, demanded to know what about funds for the new surgers we have drawn this resolution to oppose sending at all in the first place. It was a nice try, as are Bush’s repeated assertions that We, The People of the United States of America “haven’t been asked to sacrifice anything”. We have sacrificed our health care, we have sacrificed our wage insurance, we have sacrificed our education, we have sacrificed our Brothers, Sisters, Mothers, Fathers, Sons and
Daughters, we have sacrificed nine trillion dollars, we have sacrificed our international reputation and respect, we have sacrificed our neighborhoods, we have sacrificed our environment, we have
sacrificed our culture and our humanity, our arts, our progress, and our very notion of what it means to be American. We have sacrificed Rights, Constitution, fellow-feeling, and identity.
We shall never, we can never, and we will never sacrifice our sacred Liberty.
Ms. Wilson may be able to hornswoggle a few parched desert dwellers with her attempts to make us all forget everything but the past 60 seconds, historically speaking, but the greater mass of American people, credulous though they may be, have always had, and despite the persistent multi-trillion dollar propaganda blitz of the Republican right, manifestly still do retain their ability to know and to understand very well when they have been lied to for nigh on 20 years, and again that fact was proven this past November, though it would seem a few, a very few, still have yet to hear that news. As Abraham Lincoln so sagely observed there simply is no possible way to fool all of us all of the time.
Dick Cheneys manner in his remarks to a notably small yet nonetheless boisterously sycophantic gathering of manufacturers, bore a remarkable resemblance to another movie freak: Peter Sellers
memorable militaro-nuclear-fascist character of Dr. Strangelove in the brilliant movie by the same name. Cocked in a permanent and very painful to look at crick to the right, Cheneys head seemed at every moment instantly to threaten to tear itself from his own neck, perhaps to hurl disembodied clear across the blue-draped conference room, there to roll around clatteringly on the floor like some loose bowling ball that has stuck just a tad too long on the fingers of a neophite in that sport, thus endangering all who might have the singular misfortune to intercept its wildly hurtling, perilously
dangerous trajectory.
Mr. Cheney words advocating responsibility, truth, honesty, and patriotic duty clattered, too, with resounding hollowness around the perimeter of that room, even seemingly around the inside of his own head as somehow it did manage to stay put, while their import emerged through his eyes, betraying the cognative dissonance his utterances visibly conveyed to the chamber which, presumably, once held whatever might have existed of his inherited human conscience.
Suffice it to say that the surpassingly delicate shuffles and feints, the passes and tricks, the numerous practiced manuvers Cheney performed, all with a disgusted and growling sneer, looking at every turn as though he could never convey the depth of his conviction that he ought not be addressing such chumps as these mere manufacturers at all, but realizing there might be some scattered coin in political capital lying about the floor (perhaps this was what his head continually lurched at) while simultaneously attempting to cloak his actual globalist corporate agenda in the flowing mantle of legitimately elected democratic authority, will provide the most advanced scholars of the genre material for fascinated scrutiny in minute detail for many years to come. Cheney is like that other forbidding Wyoming petrochemical phenomenon and force of nature: the Yellowstone tar pits.
Mr. Hoyer rounded out this American Gothic trio. While he is arguably better than nothing, most telling and most troubling was Stenny’s impassioned advocacy for winning the war on terror. Has no one yet informed Mr. Hoyer that We, The People of The United States Of America, despite all efforts to provide us with just enough education as to be employable, still do clearly understand the fact that war cannot be waged on an abstract notion? That we fully understand
that war means killing real human beings?
That we know full well that Al-Quaeda was the creature of our own CIA, funded by Regan in order to divide our fellow human beings the Russians, by deliberately inciting and encouraging a handful of religious extremists? That this entire paradigm is the result of the persistent refusal on the part of a few vested interests, which control our whole economic and political process, to fund the development of all of the numerous safe, clean, sustainable, renewable independent American energy sources which have existed for millenia and been well understood and available to us for over a century? How is this Patriotic? How is this Responsible?
How is this Moral? It is not, and all the propaganda, lies, wars and money in the world will ever make it so.
That we have been and are terrorized every day by this cabal which has usurped our legitimate authority over our free, sovereign and peace-loving nation? That we do not believe, either, in any sort of Homeland, that we love more than life itself our Nation, and that true security means diplomacy and engagment in the world, as a leader in the community of free and sovereign nations, with the use of our Best and Bravest Men and Women in a reasonably-sized fully equipped military under our traditional legal American Constitutional civilian authority as a very last, most extreme, and most reluctantly if ever used measure? It is plain that Stenny, suave and redoubtable as he is, hasn’t heard that news either. Apparently, Stenny is buying into the Homeland Security gambit. Someone please tell him We The People are not going to pay that bill.

February 16th, 2007 at 1:11 amWhat is helping Jihadists, are fools like Goode that make the US look like invading Crusaders just interested in Oil and Israel. But just like most conservative fools, this guy projects his own failures on others.
The culture of corruption and conservative failures strike again.
February 16th, 2007 at 1:45 amVirgil Goode’s got it backwards. It’s the US which wants to, and is, exercising too much power in the Middle East, to the detriment of the whole region. His notion that Muslims– even radical ones– would replace “In God We Trust” with “In Muhammad We Trust” is is another case of Jungian projection. Christianity is far more idolatrous than Islam, which is quite emphatic in rejecting the idea that any human being can be divine (and I say this as someone who is not Muslim herself, but who knows more than Goode does about the Muslim religion). But of course, no Muslims would ever have a chance to bring about this change even if they wanted to. Goode reminds me of that psychotic criminal who cut off the arms of the hitchhiker he picked up and later said, when in custody of the police, that he was only defending himself from the girl, who was the real aggressor. IT IS THE US WHICH IS THE AGGRESSOR, NOT ANY MUSLIM ANYWHERE.
February 16th, 2007 at 3:44 amWhat I find really frightening about this sort of lunacy is the paranoia. Consider what a couple of small terror incidents inside the US will do… a lot of seemingly thinking people will jump the shark and we could be looking at a very large crackdown on dissent and civil liberties in this country (not that it hasn’t already happened). This people are authoritarian christianists and they scare me. Radical religious types of all stripes scare the hell out of me. The fact that this lunatic wasn’t censored by his fellow congressman for his shameful treatment of Rep. Ellison speaks volumes. His behaviour is condoned when nobody else in the congress speaks out against it forcefully.
February 16th, 2007 at 3:59 amEven if I agreed with this man 100%, I don’t know if I could listen to that voice. That was just awful to listen to. And of course, what he says is even worse.

February 16th, 2007 at 6:44 amIt’s pretty sad when the people placed in positions that have a direct influence on the direction our country takes are absolutely ignorant about the subjects they are addressing.
February 16th, 2007 at 7:03 amBefore we jump all over this nutjob, there is a LOT of truth to what he says. I don’t think Americans have experience in dealing with Muslim radicals – the kind that not only believe in Jihad, but the so-called Moderates who use the law of your land to enter, but then use the same law to separate themselves from mainstream society.
There is one country in this world who has this experience: India.
In India, prior to the last major war/skirmish with Pakistan, the overwhelming majority of Muslims of India have openly supported Pakistan. They’ve made statements like the ones Goode describes. That is, their goal is to raise the flag of Islam over the Capital of India. Many more examples exisit my friends.
I’m a liberal here, but I think any liberal who doesn’t realize the enormity of the threat that radical Islam carries is delusional and frankly dangerous.
The reality is that we are smackdab in the middle of the Islamic “Renaissance”, where the religion is undergoing a massive transformation. Given the interconnectedness of today’s world, all of us are impacted.
Goode is a nutjob, there’s no question about that. But, he is 100% right about this. Let’s not equate his statement to a blanket general statement that anyone who disagrees with the Iraq war, supports the things he’s talking about. He’s never said such a thing in the video above. Think of Islamic terrorism in a global concept, like it should be analyzed.
February 16th, 2007 at 7:31 amI guess Mr. Goode would be surprised to find that Muslims worship the God of Abraham.

February 16th, 2007 at 11:07 amIt’s funny when Ellison walked up to him and shook his hand Goode didn’t say all the things he says about Muslims. He probably crapped his pants. The little snake he is. This guy talks to hear himself. Why are anti-jewish comments banned but you are allowed to make anti-muslim comments. What good does that do for America. You get the militants Muslims more followers because they use comments like these as recruitment tools. Then the Muslims in the U.S. who just want to live, work, go to school, and raise American families have to fear for their lives because other nutcases like Goode take these comments and kill people over them. Similar to Osama’s followers.

“Trust me, the last thing on our minds is taking over this country.”
No, Nabil. That may be the last thing on YOUR mind, but you don’t speak for every Muslim. And the Qur’an/ahadith/sira you read are no different from those read by these Muslims:

“I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future…But I’m not going to do anything violent to promote that. I’m going to do it through education.” (Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman).

February 17th, 2007 at 9:52 amI have the Scripture that makes his case ,a muslim who wishes to governors by other than shareeah law is a kafir , Try to be an American who supports the western culture liberty and freedom rather than a partisan hack who doesn’t know if Islam may be a threat.

February 19th, 2007 at 4:40 pmThere are many invalid Hadith that where left in place in the books on Hadiths as than test for the student to pick them out. Some false Hadiths later turn out to be true. The Theory of Evolution show afew of the Hadiths that where false where in fact correct. The Theory of Evolution cause Christian and Judical(jewish Religion) touble but not Islam. Also the Koran support the big bang and the Theory of Evolution.
February 19th, 2007 at 4:51 pmNo, Nabil. That may be the last thing on YOUR mind, but you don’t speak for every Muslim. And the Qur’an/ahadith/sira you read are no different from those read by these Muslims:
