I have no problem with people posting to my threads, that's pretty much the idea behind posting them. Your 'post', as it were, was worthless. It wasn't a disagreement with the article, it was two words that sounded like a playground retort. And once again, I didn't insult you. You stated the article was insignificant in the scheme of things, I said as were you. In a world of 6.5 billion people, I hardly think that point is up for argument with anyone except your mom.

Another page states that there was "no certain proof" that Lennon had provided money "for subversive purposes."

Imagine there's no substance. It's easy if you spy.

Agreed. I'm no fan of his politics, but it seems clear that the FBI stepped over their bounds because they didn't like his politics either.

If I'm not mistaken, Lennon was fairly ambivalent in his politics. Many of the high-caliber lefties wanted him to be more active, but he saw it more as a farce than anything else.

Calling someone an idiot or a moron really does not add to the intellect discussion we are striving for.

Boy, I can't stand when people do that.

The entire reason I posted that to him was sarcasm. I have no problem calling someone an idiot if they deserve it. However, I didn't do that to you because I don't think you deserve it. Yet. Hahahaha. Just kidding.

LOL. Have a Merry Christmas and watch out for the FBI. They just might be watching you.

I'm actually rather glad to see this.

I don't like the guy's politics, but if he wasn't that involved, I can't hate him any more than the liberal down the street.

OTOH, apparently they only investigated for 2 years. Doesn't mean things were not happening earlier or later.

No. Really. Who cares? This is meaningless in the scheme of things. I certainly don't. Why do you?

Clearly you do care. The evidence is incontrovertible. You came onto the thread, read it, and are posting comments. Wouldn't you have passed right over it if you didn't care?

Other than Bob Dylan, has anyone in history parlayed tone deafness into more musical fame than John Lennon?

I would rather know about John Kerry and his FBI file from that era.

Wow ... so many negative comments about John Lennon.

I must be a spy ... or a closet socialist ... or a commie or something ... I had the audacity to have been discharged from my three year Army stint in 1967 and entered pschodelia, drugs, mini skirts, sex, sex, drugs and sex and the Beatles and the Stones and ...


enjoyed just about every friggin' minute of it.!


Hell ... every friggin' group back then was some kind of political ... it was the friggin' 60's ferKrisake!

Angst ! You're all pissed off because you missed 'em .... heh heh heh.

And we can't tell you .... ya' had to have been there.

In light of a lot of today's democrats - some who are card-carrying members of the socialists party, some who visiting foreign potentates...well, I wish the FBI would step over their "bounds" a bit more often.

Whatever these documents proved or did not prove about John Lennon, the FBI should investigate known socialists. If they don't..look what we get. Socialists as Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Or am I being too simplistic?

What exactly do you think the FBI should have done about Pelosi?

"I quote John Lennon, 'I don't believe in Beatles... I just believe in me.' A good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus, I'd still have to bum rides off of people." - Ferris Bueller

By the time of his death he actually flirted with conservatism. Supposedly, he told his agent in 1980 that Reagan would win and would be America's best president in a very long time.
