Barber's acceptance of the misinformation that Milk was "an evil man based on his [statutory] rape of teenage boys" leads to one conclude, if it fits into a broader narrative and agenda in conservative Christian circles, then what is a bit of fact twisting going to hurt.
Fact, Harvey Milk was never arrested, charged or tried for statutory rape. He took his role as a gay leader and his mission in life very seriously and I highly doubt he would have jeopardized his ability to lead by messing around with under age kids. There are no credible sources to say he did so and misrepresenting what Randy Shiltz's wrote does not make one credible. There is nothing to this but the echo effect. Basically, saying the lie loud enough and long enough to hope people believe it.
And Mr. Barber, saying it was "swept under the rug" doesn't make it true. Please show the world police reports, affidavits, and other legal documents to support your claim that Milk was "a pederast and a sexual predator." Innuendo by fellow Reich members doesn't count, ie Randy Thomasson and Daniel Flynn
"Another teen who crossed paths with Harvey Milk was Christian convert and former homosexual Gerard Dols. In a 2008 radio interview with Concerned Women for America, Dols shared of how – as a physically disabled teen – the “very nice” Harvey Milk had encouraged him in 1977 to run away from his Minnesota home and come to San Francisco."
Fact, according to Dols own words, "I said to Don Amador, "Hi I need to run away. My family is abusive and I am being smothered. I need to get away. I'm gay and need help." Dols already had the idea of "running away" prior to speaking with Milk. Fact, Dols was 18 when he left home, not a run-a-way.

Like others, Mr Barber doesn’t care about the truth of his accusations; has nothing to do with truth. Being the heathen that I am I wager it has to do more with Jeffersons, Franklins, and Washingtons. (Which Reminds me, why aren't you all up in arms over their depiction on our money?? Am I to assume you condone slavery??) If you tell a hater what they want to hear, help them to justify their hatred and give them an opportunity to join the "struggle against an evil agenda” then the hater will send you money. Got to love hate profiteers. Foment hatred for a marginalized group . Then start a "crusade" against them and haters will send you cash.
Actually Mr. Barber, yes we can!!
