Granny Was A Union Goon

[ham]

Seeger is a 90 year-old folk singer who backed every Commie, labor, anti-nuclear, etc. cause that came down the pike. I can't see how anyone would view nutjob as anything other than an anti-American Marxist who hates everything the U.S. stood for but didn't have the balls to leave.

Well...
Nobody probably told him after 1946 the party line in the 'great nation' had changed...maybe he was stuck to Churchill initiating a toast to Stalin hailing him as "the world's greatest man" and to the USSR as great, proud war ally "just like America".
Yes, many propaganda rounds in the USA emphasized how the USSR was just another proud federal state...CEKA just another version of FBI/OSS...equally principled and hard-working...
After so much USSR praise, they were horrified some "commies" still existed...
Great...
