Disagree.

Leni Reifenstal made great movies. So did Elia Kazan.
Muhammed Ali was a sensational fighter.
Paul Robeson was a wonderful singer.
Adolph Hitler was the master of political theatre.
Both the Nazis and Soviets had world-class physicists, engineers, mathematicians.

Why can't I celebrate their talents...and judge their politics separately?
Their talents in their chosen fields are beyond dispute.
Politics always raises unanswerable questions.

"Why can't I celebrate their talents...and judge their politics separately?"

How stand ye, then, on the likes of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, e.g.?

This is a test, though no grades will be issued. But, yes, I am interested in your response.

You can if you want to be a soulless, amoral sociopath.

It's interesting that you include Paul Robeson, who is worshipped because of his politics. He was a great singer. So what? Every generation produces at least a half-dozen Paul Robesons. He's only on your list because of his defense of the Gulag.
