Ping!
Yeah. I'm positively floored. How very un-PC of him.
I wonder what it'd take to get the rest of the aging hippie faction to take on a communist monster - besides free cheese, of course.
I'm from Maine, and grew up in the same town where Paul Stookey raised his family... went to school with his daughters Anna and Kate, been to his home, etc. He was never that much of a radical anti-American (like the idiot Chomsky); however, he certainly has spoken out on the side of the peace movement. Glad to hear he's speaking out for real justice this time.
However,that child molester (pardoned by Jimmah),Yarrow is,IIRC,still active in a far leftist organization to combat US hegemony (or something like that) that was organized by one of the grandkids of.....Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
But then,Stookey can't be held responsible for the actions (or attitudes) of others.
Saw PP&M back in the sixties. Stookey had the best "impression" of a toilet flushing, using a microphone, that I have ever heard. heh, heh
See Elani the film made of Nicolas Gage's book of the same title about his mother who was murdered by Communists for having saved her son from kidnapping. They would steal Greek children and move them to Albania for indoctrination as communists.
The harm wreaked by Marx and Engels is incalculable.
Nice of him to bring attention to this.
Unfortunately, he's, "" holding out hope that somewhere in an automobile in North Korea, Kim Jong-Il is listening to the radio and thinks of his own family," 69-year-old Stookey said"
What? Someone not singing about the evils of America?! How refreshing.
Now lets see if the Dixie Chicks and John Mayer will write sing something about the horrors of Saddam Hussein, Ahminadinejad, Hamas, Castro or various terrorists/despots.
Not holding breath.
Just a couple notes: "Paul" Stookey's real name is Noel (he apparently just adopted the name "Paul" to fit in with Peter Yarrow and Mary Travers), and Kim Jong Il isn't the "great leader"--he's the "dear leader." The "great leader" was the late, unlamented, psychopath Kim Il Sung (1912-1994), father of Kim Jong Il and constititutionally considered North Korea's ruler in perpetuity.
How come there are no hippies in Communist countries???

I've heard that Paul is a born again Christian.
