RIP Pete Seeger

I grew up listening to Pete Seeger. It is a testement to the man's talent that many Freepers spend their time attempting to rationalize why they can respect his talent, and only a few dance on his Commie grave.

miss marmelstein knows Seeger secretly loved wearing tuxedos:
A fake and a phony who had a hand in killing all the industry on the Hudson River.

My husband once saw him on a tv show coming into the studio wearing a tux, changing into overalls for the interview, and walking out again in his tux and expensive coat.
ifinnegan knows true folk music is pro-market:
I never liked the man’s politics. But his songs captured the feel of a more innocent and idealistic America. He put folk music in the popular culture.

I saw it differently. I think his music was fake and imitative. It seemed stilted to me. He imitated a true art form for the communist goals. That was the interest in folk songs.

He did fake folk music.
dennisw explains that it was okay to be socialist back before Obama ruined America.
When Pete was at his peak America was much stronger and innocent. We were a producer nation with a strong middle class. No Obama, no affirmative action, minimal welfare. Everyone worked!! Whatever commie tinged songs that Seegar came out with had minimal political impact. It was simply seen as a folk music revival. A getting back to American roots./

So Pete was a preservationist of sorts and this is conservative, He knew American history unlike today’s pro-gay marraige leftist pukes
wardaddy remains a dick:
Godspeed you old commie

Consistent....fool

Mike Bloomfield shoulda killed you in 65(?) With his Telecaster

Clubbed you like a baby seal

Say hi to fellow commie woody...tell woody Arlo ain’t like him
Just to piss him off.. MadMax, the Grinning Reaper is pretty sure Pete Seeger was Stalin.
Another dead red! We’re on a roll.

Let’s put aside his music. Very talented, not bad on the environment but somewhat ignorant of the Columbia River PCB situation.

However, Seeger, even by his own admission, was a communist literally all his life. Now, suppose he had been a talented singer and Nazi all his life.

Would we be singing his praises and songs? Doubt it.

So we have a talented performer, much like covert Soviet asset Paul Robeson (CPUSA member too), whose support for the most genocidal ideology in man’s history, is given a past by the liberals and the Left.

I guess 100,000,000 and rising victims of communist torture, starvation, execution, and medical neglect isnt’ enough to prick their conscience, that very famous conscience that screamed about the horrors of Apartheid in South Africa, but remained silent while Castro and Raol and Che tortured and slaughted tens of thousands of Cuban patriots, including some of their closest friends.

Forget Tibet (at least Richard Gere cares). Forget the slaughter in both No. & S. Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia (where the term “killing fields” became synonmous with those of the SS’s actions during WW2.

No. Korea. The left is silent except for the Stalinist “Workers World Party” of Ramsey Clark (he’s their front man for IAC - International Action Center and ANSWER - Act Now to Stop War and End Racism).

Sendero Luminosa of Peru. Had a support group here in the US.

I guess if you are a talented leftist/communist, you get a pass on a lifetime of supporting ideological genocide. But if you a righty and supported Pinochet, the amateur strongman of Chile (who gave up power peacefully, as did Franco), then you are a Nazi incarnate.

Somewhere along the way, our history teachers, books, and newspaper writers have perverted, corrupted, and subverted the truth. Guess it is now going to be called “Common Core” knowledge.

Yes, get them while they are young, and they will be good little Obamites for the rest of their lives. I recall Hitler, Lenin and Stalin saying the same thing.

Irving Berlin, Burl Ives, Eddie Cantor, Frank Sinatra were great singers and writers, but they always remained patriots. Can’t say the same about old Pete Seeger (he only served in the Army in WW2 after the Germans attacked the Soviet Union, not before. A sunshine patriot on the Left.

Well, now he is worm-food for a while before he goes to entertain the “troops” in Hell. I can just see him singing “Kumbaya”, “Wemiway”, “Blowing in the Wind” and “If I Had a Hammer” to the Devil. That’s gonna be one helluva party (There’s that word again - Party. I guess you can take the man out of the Party but you can’t take the Party out of the man).

Like I said earlier, another dead red. I like that! Somewhere in the graveyards of the Siberian gulags, a few million tormented souls are smiling.
MadMax, the Grinning Reaper - "a pedophile for communism"
Seeger’s music was real but he perverted it for the communist cause. That should have been a crime itself, a crime against culture and humanity.

Would have gotten him 10 years in a cell in Hanoi and a firing squad in the Soviet Union, Red China, and No. Korea.

Met him once when he was having a press conference about pollution on the Hudson River. His nose was redder than Rudolph’s. Not sure whether he was drunk or suffered from a skin condition.

He acted like your friendly “uncle” but in life, he was really a pedophile for communism

  1. You've had a particularly busy schedule at the Cluck Bucket lately! We missed you!
    Just busy there, or did you burn your finger tips off in the deep fryer again? Not been able to type on-line for awhile?

    Good thing the studio had a pair of coveralls laying around for Mr. Seeger.

    1. I was there too, saw Seeger strangle a spotted owl with a rolex in the green room. Said it was a coping mechanism for when he had to take off his tux. Interesting fellow.

  3. Um... about Burl Ives,

    "1950s: Communist blacklisting and HUAC testimony[edit]
    Ives was identified in the 1950 pamphlet Red Channels and blacklisted as an entertainer with supposed Communist ties.[22] In 1952, he cooperated with the House Committee on Unamerican Activities (HUAC) and agreed to testify. Ives's statement to the HUAC ended his blacklisting, allowing him to continue acting in movies. But, it also led to a bitter rift between Ives and many folk singers, including Pete Seeger, who accused Ives of betraying them and the cause of cultural and political freedom to save his own career. Ives countered by saying he had simply stated what he had always believed. Forty-one years later, Ives reunited with Seeger during a benefit concert in New York City. They sang "Blue Tail Fly" together.[23]"

    I guess Mr. Ives was another pedophile for communism.

    Seriously, that was all weak sauce, Freepers. Calling people "commie" just doesn't have the same bite it did 60 years ago. When you have to dress it up as "pedophile for communism" in order to make it sound really bad, you have already lost.

  4. For wardaddy making snide post like these is actually pretty tame compared to what his recent post have been like. Still, I can't wait for the day when freepers are forced to cannibalize him and denounce him as a 'liberal plant' to save face. Probably after they figure out that the war part of his name might stand for white aryan resistance.

  5. Pete Seeger was one of the greatest Americans of the 20th Century. Many are having a hard time dealing with that fact.

    Disclaimer: I am a United States Army veteran (E-5, Honorable Discharge). Your patriotism may vary, but it does not exceed mine.
