Anti Gay GOP Congressman Secures Tax Payer Money $150K for Gay Porno

 Advertisements [?]

Rep. Virgil Goode, notorious for leading the protest against Rep. Ellison's desire to be sworn in on the Koran and for being an outspoken opponent of gay rights, was involved in the making of a soft gay porn film...and earmarked $150K to the writer and producer of the film! Goode's press secretary had an acting role in the film as well.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. The film, Eden's Curve, for which Goode gets special thanks in the credits, describes it's plot thusly:

It is 1972 and muscularly handsome blond Peter heads off to an exclusive Virginia university, unsure of what to expect. He joins a fraternity house where he meets William, a classics major who has a strong attraction to him. Despite their flirting the reserved Peter becomes romantically involved in a menage a trois with his roommate Joe and Joe's girlfriend Bess. When the trio's social blis is disrupted by a violent episode Peter is taken in and protected by Ian, his poetry professor. Recuperating at Ian's idyllic country house, Peter soon falls in love with his hunky professor. Of course, their hot and heavy affair which includes skinny dipping, passionate sex and bathing outdoors is taboo. When jealousy rears its ugly head, Peter and Ian's happiness is threatened.

And this is a film that gives Goode and his wife special thanks in the closing credits.

The Democratic challenger, Tom Perriello, was closing in on Goode...and my guess is that this will put him over the top. The values issue Southside will be huge (Goode's first attacks against Perriello were over Perriello not being a strong enough opponent of gay marriage!), but Goode also has a long history of misusing earmarks to help cronies and was involved in the MZM scandal that brought down Duke Cunningham. Interesting times in VA!

Goode is in a close contest against Democratic challenger Tom Perriello in Virginia's fifth congressional district. Perrillo, a national security consultant, has mounted the strongest challenge to Goode in his congressional career. Please visit Perriello's website to contribute.

Now, you don't suppose someone "spun" this story, do you?

Goode linked to movie about homosexuality

Published: October 15, 2008

Though Congressman Virgil Goode actively opposes any rights for homosexuals, the producer of an R-rated film exploring homosexuality thanks the Rocky Mount Republican in the movie’s closing credits.

“Eden’s Curve” is a 2003 film that has been described as a gay coming of age story at a posh Virginia college. It involves Goode’s press secretary, Linwood Duncan, and is written and produced by Jerry Meadors, who is the artistic director of the North Theatre, a project Goode has supported with federal dollars in the past.

>>>

“I don’t support the movie,” Goode said Wednesday. “I have never seen the movie and never gave them a donation.”

The congressman pointed out that the movie thanked a lot of people and organizations, including the Danville Register & Bee and Danville Parks and Recreation, among others.

>>>

Meadors said Goode had no specific involvement with his controversial film, but thanked him in the closing credits because of his support for other projects.

“In the special thanks, you end up listing anyone who’s ever supported you,” Meadors said Wednesday. “He’s been very supportive of my artistic activities in the city.”

Oh my.

Now I know how Hercules felt, trying to clean out the Augean stables.

The more distortions and lies the primitive tell that are exposed, the more the primitives keep on distorting and lying.

It's an endless job, dealing with the flow of excresence on Skins's island.

Unfortunately, this spin-job went a lot farther than DU.  I used to think I didn't trust anyone.  I'm finding out that I trust most even less than before!   :o  Always check!!  Never believe anyone!! 

(except some who've proven honest, like frank and most on CC.  :-))

It's true, my employer once got a "special thanks" for a movie me and a few of my co workers  did some bit work in.

My employer didn't actually support it, or even know about it.  The work did pay for the beer that weekend, however.

By the time the liberal papers get a hold of this it will all be your employer's fault....above the fold, page one on every pape....pravda rag.

What do you expect from the party of Fred Phelps and wack jobs from Westboro Baptist Church? The Dems's elephant in the room.
