Which Stephen King villians resembles the Republicans the most?

[Rocknrule]

I say Sunlight Gardener and his teenage henchmen (The Talisman) because they are sadistic religious nuts

Also, Pennywise the Clown from IT. "Be afraid! You all taste so much BETTER when you're afraid!" And Henry Bowers. "I'll kill you all!"

[Poll_Blind]

1. Pennywise. Definitely. n/t

[Jigarotta]

21. anyone have that pic of *

in the cowboy hat and boots and long black coat with a goon with thick legs and hi boots in the background?

THAT is Randall Flagg to me.

[SteppingRazor]

3. Leland Gaunt of Needful Things

Think about it -- Satan in disguise sells small-town Americans things that they don't really need, and the price is always far greater than it appears

[RebelOne]

14. Yes, that's who came to mind for me, too.

[Bluerthanblue]

19. ME TOO!- and so appropriate it's scary.

[Broken_Hero]

[npincus]

4. Coulter Demon From Hell

[n2doc]

6. The crimson king

manipulating from afar while impotently beating against his door on the Tower.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. I like King.

But I can't think of any particular villains that were well done and/or resemble Republicans.

[smokey nj]

9. The vampire and his assistant from Salem's Lot............

Unfortunately, I killed the brain cell where their names were stored.

[Broken_Hero]

30. It is...

Straker, and Barlow...:)

[smokey nj]

34. Thanks n/t

[longship]

11. Chimp is definitely Flagg.

His fundie supporters have *got* to be a collective Trashcan Man.
"My life for you!"

[no_hypocrisy]

12. Cujo? n/t

[jedicord]

13. Lenoig (sp) from "The Perfect Storm"

Everyone vote to have someone in your community give me their child and I'll quit hurting you. Then never talk about it and act as if it didn't happen.

[Broken_Hero]

32. Storm of the Century...n/t

[jedicord]

36. Oops, you're right, my fingers flew faster than my brain. n/t

[WilliamPitt]

15. Cap, Dr. Pynchot and the assassin

from Firestarter.

[Touchdown]

17. Blaine...the pain.

The monorail train from Dark Tower: Wastelands...I think.:dunce:

[Mikimouse]

23. Blaine was smarter than the entire administration combined...

I'd say that the rotting, infected guy (something-man?) who kidnapped the kid and took him into the city, is a better comparison.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

18. Was it the Langoliers?

Whichever one had the giant balls of razor-sharp teeth that ate everything in their path.

I'm voting for the giant balls of teeth!

[Lib Grrrrl]

39. Yep. That Was The Langoliers (King Writing As Richard Bachman, I Think)

How about Taduz Lemke, in Thinner?

[gatorboy]

20. Annie Wilkes from Misery

"You liberals are just a bunch of...Dirty birds!"

[patricia92243]

22. LOL - I had forgotton that line. Perfect - she was crazy as a loon - just

like the Baby Bush.

[Warpy]

28. She was my choice as well

because she was absolutely certain all the horrible things she was doing were absolutely right and she did them with a plastic smile and a sugar coating.

If that isn't the sweet flower of GOP womanhood, what is?

[katty]

24. Dick Cheney is a perfect Cujo...grrrrrr, go f*** youself!

[Joyce78]

25. The whacky religious mom in Carrie.

[Broken_Hero]

26. Sunlight Gardener for SURE!

I just read that book in January, very great...and Black House was awesome...Sunlight Gardener was such a whack job moron, and I damn near cried when Wolf got killed...damn...:(...;)

Randall Flagg is a close one though, maybe half sunlight, to stir the base, but behind the curtains, its Randall Flagg time...

[Rocknrule]

33. And Coulter is Sonny Singer, Limbaugh is Heck Bast, etc.

[JackORoses]

35. though not a main characters,

I'd say they closely resemble the Naughty Nazis greasing each other up in the 'Tower of Power' from the book IT.

...
King sure puts some off the wall stuff in there.

[lumberjack_jeff]

37. Trashcan Man

Were it not for family connections, this is what he could aspire to.

[Lib Grrrrl]

38. Cujo or Pennywise or Frank Dodd n/t
