[quote name='Cow of Shame' date='Oct 12 2005, 10:42 AM']what exactly does the 'pinko' in 'pinko-commie' mean?  Is this an attempt at insult by insinuating homosexuality? If so, then isn't the 'f@ggots' at the end redundant?

[/quote]No, it's not redundant. You are stereo-typing gay people as liking 'pink'. It means more like 'psuedo-commie' or 'commie-wannabe' or 'commie poser'. Commies are RED, but commie tendencies are 'pinko', meaning they aren't real communist. Back in the 70's, we didn't use pink for gay. How could we, after all, we were wearing disco shirts and gearing up for 'glam-rock'.

EDIT: The pic won't show, but it's a picture of them dressed up like priests. One of them is giving the finger.

c'mon...they're only the coolest kinds of priests...the ones who flash gang signs & play ping pong!! sweet

If the Catholic church had more priests like that, you'd have to beat the young men away from the seminaries.

well, if that's the case, I need to correct your slang here.

It should be werd, not word.
