So Jews shouldn't listen to Wagner.
Nazis shouldn't appreciate modern painters.
Shakespeare should be bowdlerized for prigs.
Beds and tables should wear skirts to hide their legs.
Amish shouldn't dance because it's sinful.
Etc, etc, etc...

Gag....

That's way beyond anything I said, you resort to reductio ad absurdum and you know it.

Just hold people responsible for their direct actions and keep what they did in perspective. The people that Kazan informed on weren't just political dissidents, but fans of Joe Stalin's murderous regime-and they "suffered" far less than any kulak or refusnik.

Robeson is often lionized for having been "persecuted" without any acknowledgement of the nastiness of his politics, he's a scumbag regardless of how great an althlete or entertainer he might have been.

What do prigs have to do with opposition to communism???

Beds and tables should wear skirts to hide their legs.

My dear boy, you are mixing not apples and oranges, but grapes and armadillos.

Amish shouldn't dance because it's sinful.

Now you're mixing green beans and gravel.

I think you ought to lay off the (whatever it is you're taking that is shorting out the neurons).

For the record, your argument would be more effective if you used Carl Orff in place of Richard Wagner.

Dancing is simply a pointless waste of time and energy, since you were obviously seeking out my expertise.
