    Neo-Nazi Website Daily Stormer On Capt.

Editor Andrew Anglin repeatedly smeared the late Capt. Khan and his family as terrorists and called on them to be deported. From his post:
    I am hereby calling for the Khan family to be immediately deported to Pakistan. What’s more, I want their terrorist son’s body dug up and shipped back with them.
    First, a website (especially one such as this) isn't a "Trump crowd," or any crowd - it's a website.

    Second, while this website's content is awful - what did you expect trawling a neo-Nazi website to result in? Of course neo-Nazi content is horrible and bad! But it's also irrelevant to the conversation about the quality of King's tweets (which offend some but so what) or whether "lynch mob" is a valid description of a chant at a political convention (it is not; it is a manifestation of Internal Escalation Anxiety).

    Well, it's an individual and a website that has endorsed Trump. So, technically part of the "Trump crowd", no?

    He may be a trump supporter but that does not mean that other supporters or trump himself condone his opinions. No candidate can control who supports them.

    This whole discussion began because someone disagreed with how King treats people who have a different opinion from his own. No one should resort to name calling and belittling the opinions of others. Just because you agree with Kings views does not make what he is doing acceptable.

    I was just pointing out that King's "lynch mob" usage is not completely unwarranted.

    Of course I mean like Trump. He is extremely thin skinned and lashes out at anyone the moment they criticize him.

    I am including everyone in my statement. If ones opinion can't be defended without name calling they are in the wrong, even if they're right. If you're going to call someone an idiot tell me why they're an idiot. Otherwise just don't say anything.

    King seems to have shut down and assumed the fetal position in some dark room following Trump's win. A bit of overreaction but consistent with Hillary herself who couldn't come out last night and thank her supporters. I'm just glad this election is over.

    In fairness to HRC, at the time her rep announced that she'd speak in the morning, Trump had not yet hit 270 and it had been said (by at least one outlet) that the results might not come until the morning. I don't blame her for holding off in favor of waiting until she had something meaningful to say.

    Except she called Trump a few minutes later and conceded. They knew it was over at that point.

    Yes. I knew it was over and she certainly had better information than most people. And, if there was any doubt, she called Trump and conceded within a few minutes after Podesta spoke. Would she concede if she thought the issue was still in doubt?

    We don't know that they "knew" anything ('writing on the wall' is too low a standard for elections).

    Podesta speaking and HRC calling were separate events; she conceded after Trump reached 270.

    I'm no HRC fan but I think benefit of the doubt is called for with this. I don't think she deserves the heat for this decision.

    Her call was made within minutes of Podesta ending his speech. Nothing occurred in that brief interval. She had no intention of going out there last night and likely did not have any concession speech prepared due to her overconfidence. It's water under the bridge though. She was very gracious today.

    That is a bit immature. Especially as King can write a new novel ala Under The Dome with the material soon to be provided by Trump et al.

    I'm not surprised Stephen King wants to shut himself away from social media for awhile. It's not petulance - he's just disgusted that the American populace have decided to elect a president that embraces racist fascism and misogyny.

    Stephen King didn't lose - America did.

    His final tweet before shutting down is quite appropriate, considering the result of the election....

    The wagon-circling is silly but I guess should be expected on a King-oriented site.

    King’s response was actually pretty much a textbook definition of the word.

    Let's keep this civil; there’s no need for threats.

    It would make sense if he said he was going to avoid reading news in order to avoid immersion in what he regards as a disaster, but instead of that, in his own words, he's going to refrain from expressing himself through:
