WATCH: Virginia Rep. Depicts Opponent As Scary, Dark, Bearded

Virginia Representative Virgil Goode -- whose primary contributions to the civic discourse has been ranty, slow-witted displays of Islamaphobia -- has produced the most toxic and transparently venal campaign ad so far this year. Peep his latest great work below, in which he uses what looks to be the single worst picture his opponent Tom Perriello ever took, and submitted it to a photographic process that his office probably calls "Muslimization." The result is hardly surprising, given Goode's predilection for being one of the worst human beings to ever occupy office, but telling in that he feels that he cannot base his case to constituents merely on his opponent's liberal positions.

Goode is one of the many who voted against the bailout plan - whether you are for it or not, its worth mentioning.

Macaca, anyone?

There's gotta be something to dig up on good ole boy Virg. We'll keep digging. You, too.

[Nolewoman]

Good(e) idea! Let's all get to work on this, I know something has to be out there.

Marriage Protection Act? I don't get it. Is Virgil Goode trying to outlaw divorce?

[Smirk]

That's it. I'm definitely giving money to Act Blue and specifying some of it for Perriello's campaign.

If anyone else is interested, here's the link:

I'm not sure Perriello is on the Orange to Blue list. If not, you can donate to him here:

What an absolute A$$$$$$!

I am so very deeply ashamed that Virgil Goode was elected as my Congressman! Please, Virginia, vote this bum out. His accomplishments are so minute as to leave him with only negative and scurrilous attacks on a good man whose boots he isn't fit to clean! May God help us to prevail and rid ourselves of this hate monger named Goode! I beg you not to judge Virginia by this numbskull! OBAMA-WARNER-RASOUL-PERRIELLO 2008

That little guy on the right looks a tad anemic, or maybe something else ailing him!

[shengirl]

that picture on the front does not look like Virgil Goode to me. For one thing, the guy looks about 20 years too young. The face is too round. Somebody needs to check this out.

[MDM4REAL]

No the person on the front is Tom Perrello the person being smeared in the video. I am from Virginia and had to search Tom's name to make sure I was not wrong. It is amazing what the Republicans will do!

[shengirl]

oh, ok, thanks

AS AMERICANS, WE MUST REJECT ALL THOSE WHO WISHES TO WIN ANYTHING BY SPREADING FEARS AND TELLING LIES OF THEIR OPONENT.

R_@cist P_lG!!

[majormoderate]

I find that our country has been made to believe that all Muslims are out to harm America and Americans. It is disgraceful that all Muslims are grouped into an extremist wing of their own religon. If that is our logic, than the extreme right wing of Christianity is no different than the extreme wing of Islam that led to the recruitment of young, poor, disillusioned men who were taught from a young age to hate America and all that it stands for. Hardcore Christians, born again Christians and others teach from a young age to hate other groups of people that do not follow their beliefs and to prepare for the day of reckoning. Fear and religon are used to control the masses to benefit ignorant politicians.

Virgil Goode is the product of cunning Republican districting. I live in Charlottesville. This guy represents me -- so my disgust is also the product of cunning Republican districting.

No-Goode has to go. Obama/Warner/Periello in VA's 5th district ... it's time!!!!!!
