How about naming a toilet bowl Pete Seeger.

He was slime.

A good singer, but still slime.

And his IQ was just about as low as that of Barbara Stri-bimbo.

Pete Seeger was a talented songwriter, and there’s nothing wrong with being a pacifist, but you don’t have to be anti-American to do it. Maybe they could name the bridge the “Shut Up and Sing Bridge”, as a reminder to entertainers that being able to perform doesn’t mean their opinion on anything is of the slightest interest to anyone else...

I’d still rather have entertainers offering unsolicited political views than Republican ex-Senators like Warner and Lugar coming right out and endorsing Democrats.

this awful idea has a self-destruct button built in: the Tappan were Indians; good luck taking something else away from them, evil whiteys.

If I remember correctly, his sailboat, the "Clearwater", was cited for releasing raw sewage into the Hudson River.

Hugh Hewitt gave a very informative, sobering obit, yesterday, replete with seeger’s associates, going back to 1936, when this guy soded with the nazis but also promoted stalin, while playing ‘we shall overcome’ in the background.

He even said that at least Joan Baez apologized after seeing the Cambodian killing fields, stating that she contributed to 6,000,000 deaths (that’s an apology, Fonda apologists)

This guy was not a sweet folk song singer. He was a communist activist. A card carrying member and promoter

And ugly, too

so a NY politican wants to name a bridge after a singer who promised to help the enemy if the USA was attacked.

he was just another hippie in the mud of woodstock’s stupid generation.

I’m partial to the naming it the ‘New Old Tappan Bridge”.

He was no pacifist, he just thought we fought for the wrong side.
