It used to be 'commie pinko fag.' Which was worse? To be a commie, Communist...as in Lenin, Stalin, Putin, for you youngins, or a 'fag?' Well, it was a match, the terms went hand in hand, the worst! A commie AND a fag...the lowest form of humanity.
There were (and are, apparently, according to current news accounts)...spies...or...commie 'sympathizers,' or stooges, what was called, back in the day, a commie tool. Liberals could be dismissed as 'parlor pink' or 'wearing red pajamas.' That would have been your Aunt Ida, and she was a Democrat of course.
In the Bush era, the spies or commie tools were usually in financial distress...debts, outstanding monetary obligations were seen as the motives for spilling military and political secrets. These guys were usually well-educated and did their damage from the inside. A military profile was often the norm. A woman was often involved. No gays in this mess, however. This environment seems to be absent in the current unfolding of events. Today's stooges don't seem to have traveled this path, but the jury is still out.
Anyway, the media of an earlier time would not have pursued any gay angle even if there had been one, I think. In the 1950's Alger Hiss case (leveraged to the max by primo Commie hater Richard Nixon), it was much later that a possible gay issue was revealed. The obese, disheveled, schlumpy 'reformed' gaylena Whittaker Chambers went after Hiss after only after Chambers' alleged gay moves were rejected. In retrospect, the Hiss case, could have been the ideal setting for 'commie pinko fags.'
But such was not to be.
British intelligence was thick with educated, posh gays passing secrets to Stalinist Russia during the 1950's, and there was a gay mafia within, some of whom ended up in Russia and part of the terms offered involved the Russians providing Soviet boyfriends. Sounds pretty faggy. The subject requires more study on my part, but 'commie pinko fag' certainly seems to be part of the mix here, a form of British social and sexual disaffection, homosexuality at its heart.
Today's stooges may be motivated by greed, but the narrative is still being played out. Real estate deals seem to be the bottom line with unsavory Russians anxious to convert their useless rubles into American dollars through real estate investments. And there are stooges willing to help them, for whatever reason, we will see. But we do have Russian commies in the White House Oval Office. We do see GOP and Russian chumminess that must be rockin' old Richard Nixon in his Republican grave. We have yet to understand the level of commie and stooge cooperation in the technological tinkering with the American electoral process. Commie, yeah. Pinko, oh yeah. Fag, still missing...but this trail has far to go.
