Is Stephen King a liberal?

[durutti]

I've heard that he is, but I wasn't sure. I just recently started getting into his writings.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

1. AFAIK.

[Fenris]

5. I like that acronym, boy.

:D

[Screaming Lord Byron]

13. I'm just that lazy.

[Fenris]

17. SAI!

(So am I!)

[WilliamPitt]

2. Yes

Read Firestarter and The Dead Zone.

[jus_the_facts]

4. ..and THE STAND.....

:hi:

[porphyrian]

11. ...don't forget 'Salem's Lot...- n/t

[genius]

23. Martin Sheen playes George W. Bush in "The Dead Zone."

Where was Chris Walken when we needed him?

[Mandate My Ass]

3. My guess would be yes

Read the Dead Zone if you haven't already. He's also prescient.

[never cry wolf]

6. Yup, generous too

14. Wow, $10,000 to the DNC!

I knew I liked Stephen King. :)

7. Look at his campaign contributions here....

[knight_of_the_star]

22. Wow!

He's quite a good Democrat!

Do you think he could write a horror story to be published in October about American if Bush is elected in November?

[Soopercali]

8. Yep.

He and his wife are active in Maine Democratic party politics.

[LuminousX]

9. After reading 'On Writing' I got the feeling

he is mostly apolitical and a bit libertarian.

[Blue_Roses]

15. I loved his book "on writing"

n/t

[robbedvoter]

10. Yes, and Asimov too. Only kick Bradbury to the curve.

[Az]

16. Careful with Asimov

First off he's dead. But while he was alive he was a major misogynist. Careful who you put on pedestals. You elevate all aspects of them when you do so.

[jus_the_facts]

19. heh perspectives......

....you've said that before...and I let it go....but just because that is your perspective doesn't necessarily make it so....sorry but I disagree. :hi:

[Az]

24. I can accept that

But I did meet the man and know people that worked with him and he was a pig. I love his books. But I will not put him on a pedestal.

[jus_the_facts]

26. K...just reminds me of what Chris Rock said once.....

....."...when a man is ugly it's called sexual harrassment...when he's good lookin' it's called....JUST TRYIN' TO GET LAID!" :evilgrin:

[Mandate My Ass]

20. I know he was a groper

I asked him to autograph one his books for me
at a sci-fi convention and I got more than his
signature.

18. Isaac died of AIDS.....

.....and they were influenced to keep it a secret because of the lable attached to it at the time.:cry:

[LuminousX]

21. Bradbury just upset over lack of press attention

to his work which inspired the title of Moore's film.

Moore will write a letter, Ray will get some free press out of it, and all will be good.

Let's face it, when Asimov's and Dick's stories are still being turned into films even though both are dead, Bradbury must be feeling left out. Besides, who here thought he was dead?

[Michael Costello]

12. well, from reading his books...

...he seems to be someone who finds Christian fundamentalists scary. His books also seem to be anti-authoritarian. A lot of his plots have to do with the people versus some out-of-control big business/government totalitarian monolith.

[Old and In the Way]

25. Yes he is.

He was a resident of Bangor, Main. Back in '84, I was a delegate for Gary Hart and Stephen had a fundraising social at his house....he's a down to Earth guy that supported the local community.
