Well, yes, King is liberal. That’s old news. I still like his writing and will continue purchasing his books.
That a right-wing-blog would impugn my patriotism because I said children should learn to read, and could get better jobs by doing so, is beneath contempt. Noel Sheppard says, “Nice sentiment when the nation is at war, Stephen.” I guess he feels ignorance and illiteracy are OK when the country needs cannon-fodder. I guess he also feels that the war in Iraq has nationwide approval. Well, it doesn’t have mine. It is a waste of national resources. . . and that includes the youth and blood of the 4,000 American troops who have lost their lives there and for the tens of thousands who have been wounded. I live in a national guard town, and I support our troops, but I don’t support either the war or educational policies that limit the options of young men and women to any one career—military or otherwise. If you agree, find Sheppard on the internet, and send him an email:
To Mr King (and Kerry)....I read just fine thank you.I read so well that I’ve read a number of passages from the “holy” koran (in English,of course).You two might try doing the same.You might find it an eyeopening experience.
Another Liberal idiot heard from ... although the only book/movie I liked from SK was Christine ......
He never should have stopped drinking.
Stevie “novel a day” King is a fiction writer. Make-believe is his expertise. Why should anybody be shocked he is a Democrat.
Hey stevie-boy, quit writing for money. You capitalist pig!
Sounds like the little sh!t’s been hanging out with Jon Cary.
Actually, if you can’t read, you might have a tough time getting into the army.
This idiot obviously hit his head real hard when he was run over by that Republican back in 1999.
I refuse to waste my money supporting this or any other half-wit libtard hack.
I think that it should be said that Mr. King does an awful lot of good for the local community. Among the tings that come immediately to mind are building+financing a Little League ballpark (it was fully lit for night games...quite a place). He financed the UMaine swim team (for a time, he may still...) when money for it was cut as a part of Title IX bs. The Bangor Public Library received an "Anonymous Donation" (yup, really anonymous in a small town) of 3 million dollars as a part of their remodeling project.
This was just while I lived in Maine, I'm sure that he's done more since. Whatever his political views are, he pours his money back into the community with both hands, and I can appreciate that.

Clearly this arrogant lib neither knows nor works with anyone in the Army or he never would have made such a statement. Libs cannot exist without a smug sense of superiority. This way they can refuse to debate their ideas as they can chalk up disagreement with an inability to comprehend them. They can’t accept the fact that other people might be just as intelligent as they yet choose to believe differently.
King is yet another pompous lib elitist. Every person I’ve ever dealt with in the military (including the Army) has been quite intelligent, even unusually so in many cases. King knows nothing about what the modern military is about and they have little use for unintelligent “cannon fodder”.
Nothing to do with fools like him accept laugh at him. Mr. King has never served one day in the armed services of this country. If he had, he would know there really isn’t a market for dumb soldiers.
Perhaps Alexander the Great, Hannibal, or Ceaser needed a collection of idiots to win a battle, however I doubt that very much.
As for King, I haven’t read him in a while. After the Wizard and Glass, I thought his talent was in severe decline. I’ve seen nothing that convinces me otherwise.
Funny thing is, I know that Stephen King is personal friends with at least one soldier. I wonder how he squares that guy with his statement.
