Is Stephen King a hater?

Stephen King recently made his opinion of Twilight series author Stephenie Meyer more than clear when he said, "Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn.  She's not very good." 

The full story will appear in the March 6-8 issue of USA Weekend but you can read reports on King's hatin' ways here and here.  

How would you compare the Harry Potter books to the Twilight books?  Is Stephen King being a snob or is Stephenie Meyer's fame not-quite-earned?  Let us know!
