I wonder if Milk's ties to Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre will get a mention.

I couldn’t think of what Milk was tolerant of, but you’ve reminded me...murderous cultists.

Twinkies and Milk don’t mix.

Surprisingly, I’m not surprised.

Words cannot express how thrilled I am. It’s like a tingle running up and down my leg.

So, Arnold (the Sperminator- Yah, das right - das mah baybee)) was against it before he was for it????

God help us.

I suppose it would be unbearably cynical to point out that a Harvey Milk day serves to remind people of the only proven way to get a sodomite out of high office.

Sunday would have been Milk's 81st birthday.

I doubt he would have lived to be 81. Probably would have died of AIDs long ago.

Milk makes a rather unremarkable subject for the silver screen. In his seven years in San Francisco, he made four bids for elective office, only emerging victorious in his last—a 1977 run for city supervisor. For his persistence, Milk jokingly referred to himself as the “gay Harold Stassen.” He served for less than a year. In naming the onetime camera-shop proprietor one of the 100 most important people of the twentieth century, Time conceded, “As a supervisor, Milk sponsored only two laws—predictably, one barring anti-gay discrimination, and, less so, a law forcing dog owners to clean pets’ messes from sidewalks.” Eleven months on the city council hardly seems the stuff of Hollywood legend. So Hollywood invented a legend.

Milk - it does a homo good.

Why this POS radical is celebrated for being killed just because he a fag I will never understand. Some leftist crazy shot him because he thought the Gov't screwed him out of a a decent wage. If Milk was somewhere else, this piece of garbage shooter would have killed another person just the same. No reason to honor this Commie Milk than there is to celebrate a victim of hit and run.

So as I read this, Harvey Milk’s greatest achievement in life was being gay and letting the world know it.

Big deal... yawn

Twinkies for everyone!

He would have long ago died from AIDS, so it’s stupid to say he would have been 81. I know, I was a young girl in the City when he was shot. I remember the AIDS plague coming through and wiping out pretty much every homosexual man.

Proper respect demands we each partake of one Twinkie on Sunday.

CNN left that part out...oh, and connections to Feinstein, Bloom, Moscone, Roslyn Carter, Wille Brown, Jerry Brown and the rest of the Kooky 70’s Libtards in Frisco.

Gov. Jerry Brown proclaims Sunday second annual Harvey Milk Day

Wouldn't that make it the Bi-annual Harvey Milk Day?

I often wonder how much of my taxes makes its way to Kalifornia. It makes me sick. I long to live in a state where we tell the Feds what they’ll get after our nationl defense has been paid for (eliminate the IRS at an individual level). That would be one hell of a platform for a governor in a red state.
