Watch this offensive clip from a recent Virgil Goode rally with remarks by Virginia State Delegate Don Merricks and Congressman Virgil Goode:

I grew up in Fairfax County, in Northern Virginia, and I've lived for several years in the Fifth District, currently misrepresented by Virgil Goode, who I would think would be the last person to want to bring up discussions of real and fake. His solution to disastrous economic policies is to support them and bash immigrants. That's a fake solution. His solution to the related disaster of foreign occupations is to support and fund them but bash Muslims. That's a fake solution. I didn't cease to be a fake person when I moved down here. I just acquired a fake representative in Congress who should be shown a real door on November 4th.

1. What a jerk that moron is!

He's like so many of those godawful Republicans - just like Sarah Palin, talking about some small town in Iowa being the "real America." Goddammit, we're all REAL AMERICANS!!! Dividing people by geography, race, class, religion - that is not real American!!!

2. I, for one, will smile as I cast my vote for Periello.

We'll show him what real Virginians think of him. That vote will be as gratifying as voting for Obama.

4. I voted today, and so did my Republican husband.

Obama, Warner, Perriello x 2

Is there a chance Goode will lose?

3. My husband

was in the same fraternity in college years ago with Virgil. My husband said Goode was the guy you wanted to stuff into a locker.

5. Do you guys realize this idiot used to be a Democrat?

Obviously a very moderate one, but now he's just a friggin clown.

6. Not if the current vote count holds!

He appears to have lost his seat by about 1,000 votes.
