John Lennon a Reagan Republican?
He loved Ron, yeah yeah yeah…
That’s right – peace and love uber hippie John Lennon was a closeted Reagan Republican at the time of his death, according to the Beatle’s last personal assistant.
Fred Seaman, who worked for Lennon from 1979 until he was gunned down in the street outside his apartment in 1980, said the singer admired Reagan, who was running for president against Jimmy Carter at the time.
“John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on Jimmy Carter,” Seaman says in a new Beatles documentary. “He’d met Reagan back, I think, in the 70s at some sporting event.”
“I also saw John embark in some really brutal arguments with my uncle, who’s an old-time communist,” Seaman said. “It was pretty obvious to me he had moved away from his earlier radicalism.”
“He was a very different person back in 1979 and 80 than he’d been when he wrote ‘Imagine,’ Seaman said. “By 1979 he looked back on that guy and was embarrassed by that guy’s naivete.”
According to Fox News Online, John Lennon was a Republican right before he got shot in 1980 the very year that Reagan was elected President (It was the death of two eras really). Now there is a man named Fred Seaman who was the last assistant John Lennon ever had and he is quoted as saying,
“He was a very different person back in 1979 and 80 than he’d been when he wrote ‘Imagine,’ Seaman said. “By 1979 he looked back on that guy and was embarrassed by that guy’s naivete.”
Pretty damning evidence wouldn't you say I mean that was his last assistant and he would be privy to knowledge about John that the rest of us wouldn't. I mean it's not like he would be making things up in order to make money and capitalize on the memory of a world famous artist would he?
Here is the Headline from the Guardian in 2002
Lennon PA asks forgiveness for theft
A former personal assistant to John Lennon who was accused of stealing hundreds of the late Beatle's personal photographs and letters, issued an apology to his widow, Yoko Ono, in a Manhattan courtroom yesterday.
"I offer no excuses for my conduct, and ask only that you can find it in your heart to forgive me," Frederick Seaman, 49, said in a statement issued as part of a settlement in a case which offered an unprecedented glimpse into Lennon's domestic habits, his falling-out with Paul McCartney, and the insomnia and fear of stalkers which dominated the last months of his life.
Here's something else from the lawsuit of Yoko vs. Seaman
Within two weeks of John Lennon's Murder this man had organized a scheme called, "Project Walrus" which had two objectives
1) To steal John's most personal possessions in order to establish himself as member of John's Inner Circle
2) To destroy the reputation of Yoko Ono through lies
He then had a contract drawn up and notarized with Bob Rosen in which they would split the profits of the Lennon book that they were going to write.
Now this is nothing new to you all that Fox would quote a man who had plead guilty to something like that and not even reference it in the article. The real problem I have (Not just that I am a massive Beatles fan) is that is this revisionist history at it's worst. They took a man who was against war and a big part of the hippie culture and said yeah he knew later that his ideas were stupid so there clearly Reagan was awesome.
They are trying to take one of the Left's biggest Superstars and say oh no secretly he was a Republican, when he was older and wiser obviously. They do it with everybody and and it's so stupid when it's clearly obvious that Fred Seaman is a liar and would do anything for money. I say we should start spreading lies about their historical figures who can't defend themselves because they are dead.
Ronald Reagan secret Muslim?
I can't wait to see that article
