    Ah the peace and tolerance of liberal elites. Well when you have no morality to follow you can take pleasure in the perceived dead you think are your political rivals. I knew King was messed in the head but this is really sick. Of course not the first time we've seen it but still. Are any liberal leaders going to condemn his tweet?

    Stephen King called the Wednesday train crash involving Republican members of Congress “karma,” and people let him have it.

    “A trainload of Republicans on their way to a pricey retreat hit a garbage truck. My friend Russ calls that ‘karma,'” the author, known for his work with horror and science fiction novels, tweeted Thursday following the train crash in West Virginia that left one person dead and others injured.

    I'm not a believer in karma, but that crash in the chain of events what is happening, just might have struck following the dirty work of Devin Nunes and Republicans to slander the FBI. No pricey retreat for scum attempting to slander a American institution. That being said, what did King get wrong?

    No, this was karma:

    "THE HORROR novelist Stephen King, one of America's best selling authors, was recovering in hospital yesterday with a broken leg, hip and a punctured lung after being hit by a car near his home in Maine.

    King underwent several hours of surgery early yesterday morning and was later said by doctors to be alert and comfortable. He sustained no head or serious internal injury.

    The 51-year-old writer was walking near his summer home west of Portland in Maine on Saturday afternoon when he was struck from behind. The motorist was distracted by a dog in his vehicle and lost control, police said, adding that there was no indication the man was speeding or under the influence of alcohol. No charges had been filed.

    King was thrown nearly 14 feet by the impact and was picked up from the side of the road in a scene reminiscent of the plot of one of his own best sellers.

    In Misery, which was turned into a major film some years ago, a famous author is seriously injured in a car crash returning from his holiday hideaway."

    You live in Colorado, right? Here's to hoping your weak noodle Senator, Cory Gardener, gets some karma. And it will be from Colorado with Love.

    If you believe in Karma, you should be careful with it.

    Wishing his political rivals dead? No surprise you see nothing wrong with that.

    Its expected when you don't want the truth to come out about your politically corrupt FBI.

    The person who would have most likely died was the garbage truck driver. In most train-car accidents, the people in the vehicle are almost always guaranteed to be the ones killed. Slandering the FBI is not deserving of a pricey retreat, if karma did decide to perform its dirty magic I ask again, where did King go wrong in his statement? On a side note, if it were Dem reps and a Republican celebrity tweeted this, would you be equally as outraged?

    What was the political affiliation of the guy who was killed? His color? Race? Religion? Gender identity?

    You've just gone off the rails. You condone political assassinations of your fellow countrymen and elected representatives by the FBI.

    Tighten up.

    He said his friend Russ said it. He didn't say it, although he likely agrees with it.

    Pay attention, people.

    I dunno - when people tell me their "friend" said something, I give it as much weight as when we catch some kid with contraband at school and they tell us it isn't theirs; they got it from their "friend".

    It's sad regardless of any party affiliation. The moment we start taking joy and finding amusement in the suffering and death of others because you simply disagree with them then it's time to step back. You are no longer a voice of reason. You no longer see things objectively. You have no credibility in speaking of things regarding morality.

    How we react to tragedy helps define us. We can either rise up and come together, or we can contribute to the pain for our own self amusement. Their are no excuses for our choices, just a testament of our character.

    Lol...It’s not karma since they all survived.
    I’d call it typical.
    They crash the train and kill innocent people.

    Some on the left found the same joy when Republicans were gunned down while playing baseball.

    Vile hatred by the left that preach tolerance! Tolerance for anyone except conservatives and Christians. You saw the hatred on Pelosi's face during the SOTU. A hatred that has now labeled her the failure that she truly is.

    stephen king sucks.....lemme guess hes gonna write another crappy story about train tracks, kids, a clever recurring saying from the evil that never has anything to do with the story, 300 pages of character development where he kills the character off two pages later anyways and then ends it by...writing the last chapter on his way out the door to get his donut.
    Fat kid somewhere in the story as well as a dead kid. Doesnt matter where, he just has them from his last outline.

    I always thought he was over rated. When will these left wing hollywood types realize their remarks towards half the country will effect their own bottom line more than it hurts us? I will avoid any books or movies by King like the black plague from now on.
