Woody Guthrie was a commie.

Yep… total commie. As was Pete Seeger.

I recall a funny story about Seeger. He made some song back in 1941 about keeping the US out of Europe's war. All the commies “opposed” the war and even any aid to the British. That's because Stalin wanted to see Hitler wipe out the British as the last free nation in Europe. He figured after Hitler got rid of them, then he could go after Hitler. Well Seeger, singer/songwriter that he was, made this anti war song and distributed it to all the record shops in New York City. A day or so later, Hitler attacked Russia and suddenly Seeger was running all over the city “ recalling” his own record. He didn't want anyone to hear it then.

seeger was always a damn phony. He didn't really give a damn about any of his “ causes.” It was always about Communism.

Did you know that Woody Guthrie was against "FDR's imperial `harassment of Germany" during the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Then, after Operation Barbarossa, he magically decided "This guitar kills fascists."

Coincidentally this was the same policy of the U.S. Communist Party.
