Of course, the Seeger-Guthrie leftists only believed in defending america after June 1941, when Hitler attacked Stalin. Before that, Seeger wrote pacifist, don't be beastly to Hitler, songs, since Hitler was an ally of Stalin at that time.
There certainly were leftists who were pro-America and Anti-Hitler from the get-go, or at least since 1938, but many of them were Troskyites who later became Neo-Cons.
