John Lennon was a singer who sought peace for the world. Listen to his recording, "Imagine" and you'll understand what Lennon was about. He was all for peace and didn't have anything to do with terror. Go read his Bio. He was a product of the peace movement of the Viet Nam era.

What do you mean John Lennon Terror? Lennon had socialist leanings, but he was not a communist, in fact hated what communism did to its people in the USSR and China. His anti-war stance almost got him deported, but I'm not sure what you mean by terror.
Are you referring to his murder? It was done by a psychotic Mark David Chapman that was obsessed with the Beadle, Lennon and Catcher in the Rye. It had nothing to do with his anti war stance.

Even if he was, there are much worse things to be than a communist. He was talking about peace and love when others were out making war on the backs of our poor and middle class. That's enough for the righties to brand a man as a communist.

John Lennon was not a communist..in fact he loved America and what it really stood for..This is why he fought so hard to remain in New York because he felt it was his home !

Oh, very much so. But he was loyal to his views, no matter how unpopular or how much trouble it got him. For that, he has my respect. Too many famous of political figures seem to sway with the breeze in the matter of popular opinion.
But this "terror" you speak of, I haven't heard of. He never encouraged violent protests, and he never even participated in violence in any way, shape or form. If there was any relation, it was not due to him or his encouragement.

He was a little boy in a man's body. That's all.
