Not only were Virgil's attacks totally off base, but there has been backlash about his manipulation of an older photograph of Tom with a beard after he returned from Afghanistan: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...
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.
Here's a satirical look at what message Virgil was trying to send in his totally misguided, poorly executed, and insulting approach to keep his campaign alive: Fear all the Bearded Liberals!
