King usually takes a poke at conservatives in his books. He’s a rabid leftist.
Clive Barker kicks King’s butt anyway.
This just goes to show how out of touch and stuck in the past certain people are. That these people never got past the Vietnam draft era mentality is telling. During that era, a common way to avoid the draft was to remain in college as long as possible. The people who employed this strategy viewed those that didn’t as imbeciles and idiots who weren’t smart enough to ‘game the system’. This not only displayed a shockingly elitist mentality, it also displayed an appalling lack of patriotism and civic responsibility. The people who let slip this telling bit of prejudice unknowingly speak volumes about where they come from, what their youthful prejudices were and what their true underlying principles are. The fact that they haven’t seen fit to adjust their views as they have matured and become adults is the most telling of all.
King has always hated the military. No shock here. Soldiers are the bad guys in half of his books.
Maybe he needs another van to knock some sense into him.
I remember back about 10 years ago, he was on NPR talking about burning his draft card and protesting the Vietnam war. He also stated that there were very few times from the late 1960's to late 1980's when he wasn't bombed out on drugs and booze. Oddly enough he seemed to be a better writer before he sobered up. However, King also stated that, although he held strong liberal political views, he didn't believe in hammering his readers over the head with them. He said that he felt most of his books were politically neutral and that he didn't think it was productive to anger half of his audience just to make a point.
I guess that King either has decided that he's sold enough books and is wealthy enough that angering half his audience no longer matters or he thought that this speech would would go under the radar.
I always found his movies to be stupid but then again, I'm not not a big horror flick fan either.
He doesn't know anybody in the armed forces and is mainly confined to his neighborhood with all the other inbred liberal pud-pullers in Blowcock Maine, or wherever.
He must be trying to get a movie deal or his publisher isn't happy with sales of his recent books.
I guess the next thing we'll hear from Mr. King is that he's gay and been living the life of a typical liberal..... going from truck stops to rest areas servicing lonely men in order to satisfy the little girl trapped in his body.
yeah, I have about 5-6 of his books..... He p#ssed me off. They're in the garbage now. I bought them and i know he's already profited from my purchase, but it will just get my blood pressure up if I see a book with his name on it in my library.
What an a##hole.
I hope he gets the chance to meet a wounded warrior someday in a private setting and realizes what kind of man he is....please Mr. King, meet some of these men and tell them that they are stupid and have NO OTHER OPTION in life.
Mr. King, these men can read. They have families that sacrifice and are willing themselves to serve with selfless devotion to our country. You wouldn't have clue one about honor, fidelity,self sacrifice and giving to a cause greater than yourself, you liberal puke.
Well, at least King is honest about what he thinks of our troops. Unlike the “ I support the troops, BUT...” crowd.
I wish all Democrats would be honest like this, and tell America what they really think of the troops. They’d lose more elections that way.
