Communist Banjo Player
It's like I have a sixth sense about this crap. Sure as shit the octogenarion communist activist Pete Seeger could be seen playing the banjo for Obama in D.C. today.
Here's a few things you should know about our buddy Pete Seeger:
In 1936, at the age of 17, Pete Seeger joined the Young Communist League (YCL), then at the height of its popularity and influence. In 1942 he became a member of the Communist Party itself
On August 18, 1955, Seeger was subpoenaed to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). Alone among the many witnesses after the 1950 conviction and imprisonment of the Hollywood Ten for contempt of court, Seeger refused to plead the Fifth Amendment (which asserted that his testimony might be self incriminating) and instead (as the Hollywood Ten had done) refused to name personal and political associations on the grounds that this would violate his First Amendment rights.
Oh and lets not forget this patchouli oiled clown was a big supporter of Soviet Communism until he realized the ideology was killing hundreds of thousands with gulags and starvation. At least the moron admitted he was wrong:
Seeger apologized for being blind to Stalin's failings. "I think you’re right," wrote Seeger, "I should have asked to see the gulags when I was in U.S.S.R [in 1965]".On the other hand, he has also said he does not regret the songs he has sung and the books he has written, and continues to be a communist with a small "c".
Oh wait, he still likes to espouse socialism and communism with a little "c", I guess that's why he fervently plays his paean for comrade Obama.
