Waist deep in the party line

In his excellent City Journal essay on Pete Seeger, Howard Husock dubbed Seeger America’s most successful Communist. In today’s New York Sun historian Ronald Radosh finds a current documentary celebrating Seeger still toeing the party line.
JOHN adds: It is ironic that the opening of the documentary lionizing Seeger, which Radosh criticizes, coincides with the dedication of a memorial to the more than 100 million victims of Communism. It would be interesting to hear Seeger explain his fidelity to a movement that far surpassed, in the field of mass murder, all others in human history. But that’s a question that he apparently is never asked. The photo below shows President Bush speaking at the dedication ceremony this morning:
