Yeah, it's too bad that so many of those hatemongers will stand up for Goode ...for example, Andrew Sullivan linked to this letter to the editor in a Virginia newspaper:
Freedom of speech is one of the basics of our country. Yes, we have freedom of religion but not for people aspiring to run our country.
I attend Christian conferences and one that stands out in my memory is the Northern Ohio Christian Conference held at Oberlin College, winter and summer. One summer, a Christian from the Middle East traveled from Asia to Europe to America to address the conference, which he was permitted to do. His message was: The Communists are not your enemy but the Muslims.
As Virgil Goode stated, when you take an oath in this country or are being sworn in to serve the country, your right hand is upon a Bible. I believe this is true in a jury trial. You swear to tell the truth and the Bible represents the truth to most of us. Americans fought the Revolutionary War to gain their freedoms and we are not about to let any immigrants strip it away from us.
Citizenship in this country is available to those who wish to enjoy our freedoms and rights. Why not become an American?" - a letter to the editor in Charlottesville's Daily Progress.
Luckily for us that didn't come out too coherent, did it?
