“The rise of a political candidate who deliberately appeals to the basest and most violent elements in society, who encourages aggression among his followers, shouts down opponents, intimidates dissenters”

Sounds like the protesters more than the followers.

Only name I recognize is King. And that guy hasn’t been relevant since the mid-90s.

A giant nothingburger the SLIMES is trying to sell as news.

I just finished Cheryl Strayed’s book “Wild”...she’s lucky she’s alive after her stupidity hiking the PCT.

...including big names such as Stephen King,... appeals to the basest and most violent elements in society

Stephen King characters?

D400 liberal elites... Does it get any more predictable?

What a yawn.

How about countering with 400 members of the NRA objecting to Hillary? Can we be that trite?

Yep, I’d be concerned if this group *did* support Trump.

I really do not not like Trump, but I will vote for him over Hilary any single day of the week.

But, here is what I do not understand. Why do people, any people, protest a presidential CANDIDATE? If he were president, I would get it. Fine, protest until you are blue in the face.

Signed Sincerely,

I guy who doesn't get why stupid people do things

I was going to say...except for the women/minorities thing (which is a lie) that sounds exactly like Obie. Surely they said so...?

400 clueless idiots who get their info from mainstream media write a letter protesting against the American people choosing their candidate for President.

All of them strongly hope thst America can have another selfish, murderous, corrupt grifter as their leader rather than someone who allows freedom for the American people.

She didn’t even hike the trail. She LIED. Sure she was on it a bit, but a real hiker wrote a very long blog proving Cheryl may have taken all the drugs and slept with all those strange men, but she didn’t hike that trail.

Of course a professional liar prefers Hillary.

it is funny I don’t see trump supporters threatening to riot over if we don’t get our way but I see his opposition threatening to do this. all the violence that I see is coming from those that don’t share the values or the vision on how America should proceed as a country. I also think if you start looking at the no trump crowd you will find that a lot of them are bought and paid for by George Soros and Hillary Clinton.

Laz...I just went through the list, and I didn’t find a single writer I can remember reading, save for Mr. King himself. I read ‘The Stand’ several years ago, and I wasn’t impressed.

This blogger, also somewhat crazy, is an actual hiker and she goes through Cheryl’s entire book and points out lie by lie. You might enjoy reading through this... Or not.. (It may be as long as the book). But it does pretty much prove Cheryl’s book is all lies.

The only one that surprises me is Amy Tam. But Lyme disease does attack the brain and nervous system.

OK. Fine. Under the First Amendment they’re perfectly free to oppose Trump if they want to. At least a petition is civilzed (unlike these mobs who keep showing up at his rallies).

Take a look at the list. They put a few well-known names at the top. Almost all the rest are people I never heard of.

I wonder how these signatures were collected. Peer pressure in the industry is quite high.

I do not see Conservative protestors showing up to shout at Hillary.

That is a shame, and it is on us.
