Background on the "Twinkie Defence" murders

Dafydd has noted:

Ever since yesterday -- when Squeaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Haight-Ashbury, 100%) tearfully warned us that Republicans plotted to launch a wave of political violence and assassination, just like in "the late seventies" in California -- I've heard more than a dozen explanatory references to "the assassination of Harvey Milk."

Is that a sign that there is rage by the marriage supporters that might turn into the next round of abortion clinic bombings? I don't know if that is her dog whistle here or not. We'll just have to see. I will be happy to include the police in any conversation I hear about from either side of this issue will condone or promote violence ... just saying.

Even if such a case is brewing, lets remember (as Dafydd explains) Harvey Milk case is often misunderstood. Read his writeup for the underling reasoning, but I will present his conclusion here...

But it's simply wrong to say that White assassinated Milk because Milk was gay, as well as saying that White's attorneys claimed that eating Twinkies and other junk food drove him crazy.

And can we please remember poor George Moscone -- White's first victim, and the forgotten man of the Dan White murders?
