Lost John Lennon interview in Toronto in 1969

I wavered on whether or not to even respond to your vitriol, but I decided to speak up and counter it.

People like you are the reason we are still a bunch of barbarians with the Internet. The reason we elect morons. The reason we don't have the political capital or moral authority to speak up against the violence in Darfur and Georgia. You won't open your mind to the possibility that someone else is right. You call one of the best artists of the 20th century a 'piece of shit.'

How dare you be so villainous? Surely, it is just to get a rise out of the anonymous Internet. Well, I for one will not accept your bullshit anymore. Willful ignorance is not okay. Hateful speech is not okay. Calling great people 'traitor' and 'piece of shit' is not okay.

Cut it out. Grow up and be an adult. I'm sure you are not stupid, but you apparently have a very closed mind. And yes, I read quite enough of your comment history.

You should be very thankful that you have the right to say what you did, but you should have the judgement to know better.

May you find peace one day with yourself.

I AM thankful I have the right to say the things I do, I thank the US military EVERY DAY for the freedoms to say what I want (and YES I am also a veteran). That's what peaceniks like lennon forget, there will always be conflict in the world. Sometimes wars ARE necessary, sometimes it is necessary to address things such as radical islam BEFORE their numbers grow to a point like out of control cancer and they can't be stopped. I'm sorry you left wingers have your heads buried in the sand and think that radical islam will correct itself if left alone, I'm glad that irrational voices such as lennons aren't around to spew their ridiculous tripe. I wouldn't go so far as to wish his death on him, but hey he's dead so no sense crying over spilled milk.

War is never necessary. Industry is responsible for warfare. Politics is responsible for warfare. The people are not. Our current administration is pushing to begin the end times as described in the book of revelations. It's not about oil or resources. Its about advancing the agenda of a rich group of sociopaths who are have gathered into a cult like group dating back to 1900 and the formation of the Federal Reserve.Up until 1900 the US's main concern was expanding our borders. After JP Morgan and the Rockefellers got control of the money supply we were suddenly spending billions on war and armed conflict around the world. We've spent 100 years having our laws dictated by these insane tyrants and it's time for that to end and there to be a return of power to the citizen. People don't choose war. The Us citizen could care less if we start the end of the world as described in Revelations. We don't want a world bank, or a one world government. They do. And it's time we put an end to that. The power of the individual to enact change has come. The great awakening is drawing near and those who choose to remain unconscious and unaware will be those who suffer most. We can only sit idol and watch for so long. Stand up. Stand up. Stand up - not to cancer-- to corruption, insanity and tyranny. Fuck the powers that be, we stand up for peace, nonviolence and change. Fuck your message too Liberal_extinction. It wrong and you know it. I know you're a good person. May you wake up to that fact soon. Peace.

Really? This is what has become of the human species? Are you really bashing and calling a piece of shit someone who so strongly pleaded for peace? Do you imply that humans are just a barbaric, immature, savage species? I doubt I can prove otherwise, as you seem to be proof enough, but man, you are disgusting. I always refrain from insulting, verbally attacking, or even confronting someone who so maliciously attacks another human being without any sign of morality, as it may make me no different, but you sir, are an idiot. You don't deserve to have your word heard.
