Virgil Goode's America
ByMeteor Blades, commenting on Congressman Virgil Goode's anti Koran and anti-Muslim statements: According to an August Gallup Poll, 39% of Americans believe that Muslims should carry special identity cards. According to a poll taken to accompany the Discovery Channel's Ted Koppel program, "The Price of Security," 25% of respondents believe Muslims should be put in camps until they can prove they are loyal to the United States. If Virgil Goode were making his statement in a vacuum, just some latterday Ku Kluxer without a sheet, nobody would care. But a Congressman? How does he feel about the two Buddhists - Reps. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii and Hank Johnson of Georgia - who will be serving this term? What about the 15 Mormons? Unless Goode apologizes, a censure vote ought to take place in the first session of the 110th.Labels: koran, muslim, virgil goode
