Footage of John Lennon mocking liberals

Shocked? Why is anyone shocked? That is what liberals do. They claim tolerance. Then, they mock every one and every thing that isn't like them.
 
Not a fan of John Lennon's politics, but I daresay I'm pretty sure most people have acted similarly on occasion. We used to walk around going "I am not an animal" in our best John Merrick voice when I was a kid. There wasn't the sensitivity to mentally disabled people as there is now. I understand why it's offensive to people now but heck, back then there were Bugs Bunny cartoons that made fun of disabled people and everybody thought they were hysterical.
 
Wow the PC crowd is really digging for something to be offended by here.
 
Holy ****. That was 50 years ago. That's what people did back then. (They still do it now, but they aren't out in the open about it). Talk about reaching....

I think mocking disabled people is what Indy is trying to do here. The article title reads "Lennon mocks disabled" not liberal.

I'm not mocking the disabled, Lennon is. I'm mocking liberals. Wait, you're right, I am mocking the disabled.
 
I think he'd say "WHY IN THE **** IS YOKO STILL ALIVE?"

Seriously- why is she still alive?

At the end of his life Lennon became more conservative. Its a sore sport for liberals as he's one of their poster boys.

That comes from a man who went to jail for stealing from Lennon and was contradicted by everyone else who knew him, if you're talking "conservative values" in the GOP sense. He certainly calmed down from being the altered ******* he could be in his youth. He was an artistic, agnostic, self described feminist in his early 40s. Let's look at that last interview:

And, it was the struggle to… to love, and be loved, and express that, you know there’s something about love that’s fantastic even though I’m not always a loving person. I wanna be that, I wanna be as loving as possible. In the Christian sense, as Christ-like as possible. In the Hindu sense as Gandhi-esque as possible.

Pro military-industrial complex? No.

”That’s why I referred to ‘the word is love’ on Rubber Soul straight through to All You Need is Love to Give Peace a Chance to ‘imagine there’s no countries’ – imagine no war, in other words to… to right to this moment now. But the thing is, instead of this album doesn’t say ‘imagine the whole world’ like that, because I’ve said that – in a way – what I’m sayin’ now is let’s put the spotlight on the two of us and show how we’re tryin’ to imagine there’s no wars. To live that love and peace. Rather than sing about it only.”

Bomb Iran!

‘Well, all I’m sayin’ is give peace a chance’. Not that I have the answer, or I’ve got a new format for society – ’cause I don’t, and I don’t believe anybody else has. ‘Show me the plan’ as Revolution said, you know? Uh, the Beatles Revolution, or my Revolution song: ‘show me the plan!’ Before we knock all the buildings down, you know? But Give Peace a Chance is… Imagine is the same thing, you hit it right on the head. It’s, ‘just imagine if there were no countries.’ Not, ‘no places where we each had our little spot’. But, imagine… there was a time, you know, when you didn’t have to have a passport to go from country to country. What kind of world are we creat… really! It used to be you go around! You know? What is this game that you can’t get… that somehow this is America and then just across the… the field is Canada and you have to have all kinds of papers and pictures and stamps and passports and… ya’ know, I mean, when you think about it it’s insane! It’s insane, carving up the world into little patches like that. We’re all different.”

Not with the GOP on immigration there.

But still, the concept of imagining no countries, imagining no religion – not imagining no God, although you’re entitled to do that, too, you know? Imagine no denominations. Imagining that we revere Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Krishna, Melanippe, equally – we don’t have to workship either one that we don’t have to, but imagine there’s no Catholic/Protestant. No Jew/Christian. That we allow all… we allow it all – freedom of religion for real, I mean. For real. Just imagine it? Would it be terrible?”

Lennon's not quite with Ben Carson.

Holistic is what we need not just in the health field – we need it in the political field, in the global field, and stop this paranoia of 90-year old men playing macho games with the world and possibly the galaxy. That’s what they’re doing.

Well, I’ll tell you what: you see, you don’t have to atrophy because you get older – if that’s the right way of sayin’ it. You see… now, the thing about when you get older you become this, if you believe that myth – again, it’s the belief system of, you know, peop… when we were kids thirty was death, right? The whole culture was like… right? I’m 40 now and I feel just… I feel better than before. You know? I mean, you can atrophy your ideas of life at 20 or 30 or 40. I know some kids that left school at the same time as me who were – within six month of gettin’ a job – absolutely locked in. You could say ‘conservative’. They might’ve been conservative socialists, in England. There’s just as many conservatives on the Left as there are on the Right. It’s not a matter of politics, conservative. It’s a matter of things… you don’t get so emotionally up and down when you’re older. Because, when you’re younger, your genes are different or your hormones are different. So it absolutely has to express different… you can become mellower without becoming rigid. I’m still open to anything. I still believe – almost – in anything until it’s disproven. I don’t have any set pattern. I don’t have any set answers. I’m as open as ever, but I just… maybe not so… my hormones don’t work the same, that’s all.
