I’m no Lennon fan but you can’t judge someone for having done something 50 years ago that has since been deemed outrageously offensive.
Sensitivities have changed, sometimes for the better, but most of the time for the worse.

There was some suggestion that at the time of his death, that he actually liked Reagan, the two had an impromptu meeting during halftime on Monday Night Football, and Reagan spent some time with him explaining the rules of Football.

Not even close to the most offensive thing John Lennon ever did.
To: Catsrus
Well, no. He said that back in the ‘60s and he was gunned down in 1980 or so.

Domestic abuse was never okay but in the 50-60s jokes about spastics and learning impared people were common. Look at some of the comedians like Jerry Lewis. They were never kind but that’s how it was.

Amen. We’re becoming a society of the perpetually offended
whose national motto should be, “You owe me an apology.”

The left's solution for handicapped has always been rather brutal.

Who cares where it was, it was cruel. You didn’t get the way he moved his mouth to sound like someone who was retarded, and the way he held his hands and buckled his leg, imitating someone who was handicapped? Quite possibly, you need glasses or new ones if you currently wear them.

Oh, for goodness sake! He was a hoodlum as a youth - with no parents. McCartney’s parents did want him in the house. And, if you think 50s and 60s working-class Brits were politically-correct, you’ve got another think coming.

He may have owned a Rolls Royce but he didn’t ride around in one in NYC all the time. He walked everywhere because I’d see him all over town.

When you consider the selection of women available to him, that relationship is astonishing.

Big deal. Paul McCartney is a big lib and I’m assuming so was John Lennon.

Ditto that. Comedians can’t even be funny anymore.

That is odd. Anyone know the motive for the killer’s action?
