McDermott said that "we're losing in Afghanistan," accused the President of planning to expand the war into Iran, and said "we're running a gulag - one over in Guantanamo, and several in Iraq." Yet, the congressman argued, "nobody cares" about the war because "as long as we can hire mercenaries to fight this war for us" the war would continue. McDermott said that the "mercenaries" were recruited from those who could not get jobs, or who could not get into school, or who were in jail due to having committed felonies.

rom a recent interview with author Stephen King : I don't want to sound like an ad, a public service ad on TV, but the fact is if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don't, then you've got, the Army, Iraq, I don't know, something like that. It's, it's not as bright. So, that's my little commercial for that. Apparently in King's world only the illiterate are forced into the armed services (despite the fact that the percentages of high school grads in the military is above that of the civilian work force).

The really amazing thing about King's latest, unthinking putdown of the troops-- "...if you can read, you can walk into a job later on. If you don't, then you've got, the Army, Iraq..." --isn't that he is repeating another famous fool, John Kerry. It's that he's so dumb that he imagines you can a) get in the Army without being able to read, and b) that you could do the job the Army wants without being able to read. I've enjoyed some of King's books. But none of them taught me anything important. It really does surprise me, however, that he could write any of them while being such a moron .

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.

Has-been horror hack Stephen King wrote some good tales back in the 70s, but for the last few decades has been known mostly for his self-indulgently bloated writing style and wince-inducing political correctness. Following the example of fellow New England moonbat John "Botched Joke" Kerry, King has denounced the American military as being the last refuge of those too uneducated to find a better job.
The original Kerry quote :
You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well.

Thank goodness that Rosie O'Donnell has chimed in on the whole Barack Obama - Rev. Wright controversy. I was kind of lost and not sure what to think before she decided to chime in. (end sarcasm)
Surprise, surprise… Rosie AGREES with Jeremiah Wright ! Shocker!
But what it came to, boil down to in his [the Rev. Wright] mind is the fact that, you know, this man is, is following a tradition of black preachers and that there is a righteous indignation about people who were only considering three-fourths a person until fairly recently in our history.

The battle between NewsBusters and horror novelist Stephen King went national Tuesday when the Associated Press picked up the story moments ago. For those that haven't been following this, on Monday, NewsBusters reported King's disgraceful comments -- made in front of a group of high school students at the Library of Congress in April -- about people who can't read having few options other than to enlist in the Army. This surprisingly prompted King to post a blurb at his website encouraging readers to send a message to me stating, " Hi, Noel-Stephen King says to shut up and I agree .

You really can't make this stuff up! Early Monday morning, NewsBusters informed readers about a truly disgraceful comment made last month by famed horror author Stephen King concerning people that can't read having to enter the Army (video embedded right). Hours later, I mentioned in the comments section that I was receiving a lot of strange e-mail messages. Well, it turns out King wrote about my piece at his website, and instructed readers to " find Sheppard on the internet " -- please notice the embedded link goes to my NewsBusters blog!

No, you couldn't possibly volunteer for military service because you love your country so much that you're willing to risk your life for it, you're just dumb and illiterate. That's the gospel according to Stephen King :

Why does the LEFT hate our brave men and women of the military.
This should not come as any surprise, the LEFT enjoys to make fun of and disrespect the military. Stephen King is the latest to shoot off his liberal tongue and disrespect the very people who fight and die so that King can be afforded the rights of free speech and be a multi-millionaire. What a shock, another rich left celebrity shooting off their mouth about something they know nothing about. Simply shameful.

Dear Mr. King,
Take this personally: you are a complete and total jerk who showed his total ignorance on the subject of the military , and lack of class on two recent occasions.
You're ignorant because you have no idea how well-educated the men and women who serve in our military really are. I know exactly what you said because your remarks are video taped and I saw them online . For the rest of the world, they are:

Always remember, Stephen, those who can - do. Those who can't - teach. Those who are too stupid to teach become road kill… Remember this, fellow truckers, especially those former military, next time you pop in a Stephen King book on tape/CD.

Famed horror writer whose books, at least the horror books, haven't made a good movie since Pet Cemetery (and that was only because of the Ramones song), though his short stories make good movies, has really stepped in it. He's one of these rich liberals who think they know best for everyone else, claim to be caring and understand, tolerant and all that jazz, and maybe he is…just not towards people who join the military.
