It turns out that John Lennon was indeed monitored by the FBI as a suspected communist/rabble-rouser, but that his involvement with serious political operatores was ruled out... because he was too stoned.
Money quote: "[Lennon] appears to be radically orientated, [but] does not give the impression he is a true revolutionist, since he is constantly under the influence of narcotics."
It was true then, and it's true now.
