GOP Lawmaker Champions “Respecting” Women

Throughout the entire legislative session, women in Montana have been shocked at the callous cruelty with which the majority of Republicans have voted against women at every opportunity.  They even compared women to livestock and property, comparing us and our “value” to pregnant cattle.

Now, all that may be changing.

A hero for women has emerged, leading the way as a shining example of how women really should be treated.  That man is Representative James Knox (R-TEA Billings Heights.) It has recently come to light that Montana Republican James Knox is now championing respect for women, proudly posting how to demonstrate respect (in order to get us to spread our legs) on his Facebook page.

Knox's idea of respect for women is to treat them like prostitutes

Knox’s message came through loud and clear.  The way men should demonstrate respect for women is by paying us with jewelry to spread our legs.   Ladies, isn’t there some kind of award we can give this man?

The best part of this news? Now that leaders like Knox are spreading this enlightened view of women,  we can now expect similar respect for our equal rights as citizens and members of society.

    Even as a mostly conservative, Tea Party-sympathizing, almost Republican guy who finds most of what you (MT Cowgirl) post to be ignorant, stupid, or hateful – even I have to admit that this is pretty disgusting, if true. Knox should be ashamed.

      Well, his facebook page describes him as “a romantic.”

      Kind of like war is peace, slavery is freedom, up is down, black is white…

    The republicans that we have elected to the legislature this year are a new level of ignorant backwoods morons who have no business “representing”their views as anything other that their own. Knox does not repesent his so-called constituents with views loke this. What a complete joke.

    Note: apparently Knox is NOT the person who originally posted it – he was merely re-posting it. Very slight mitigation, and likely a very misguided attempt at humor. Still crass and unacceptable from an elected official.

    So, posting sexist pics comparing women to prostitutes is aslighly more ok-al long as someone else does it first!

    Hey give Knox a break, he can’t remember whether or not he used to be a drug dealer so how can you fairly expect him to also have any common sense or good judgment as well. I feel bad for the poor slob obviously he has suffered some kind of undiagnosed traumatic brain injury to continue to act like such a fool.

    Could somebody in Yellowstone county do a recall of James Knox? I think (granted Im not a lawyer) that there are grounds for a recall election.

    Its not just Knox, if they could the Tea Partiers in Congress would take the right to vote from women….. they have no use for women other than as hookers….cleaning cooking. We’re not human to them

    This man is an unvarnished turd on so many levels. Simply jawdroppingly ignorant, callous, and natively stupid. How could so much lack of IQ ever land in such a fat, repulsive body?

    So Knox didn’t “create this”. I know that fair well, as I saw it first several weeks ago on a website that shall not be spoken of (cough ~ FipeLeli ~ cough). But his reposting of it, regardless of where he found it, is as ‘amusing’ as Tim Ravndal’s good humor concerning hanging fruits on fences the Wyoming way. Ravndal lost his leadership position because he agreed and laughed at the utterly reprehensible. Knox will face no consequence at all. And if I will be allowed a hopefully foolish prediction, he will even get the majority of the women’s vote next year … unless that fat bastard has another heart attack, Dog forbid.

    Anybody with two eyes could instantly know that this was not Mrs. Knox in the photo, I’m not trying to be mean or anything but those legs do not belong to that women.

    This incredibly poor behavior would not be tolerated in today’s military and women in the ranks are as professional as any guys, and more so in some respects. Would Mr. Knox or others consider treating their sisters, daughters or mothers to this kind of behavior, or condone it their websites for a good ‘laugh’?

    That the military is given such importance by politicians, politicos, and pundits is symptomatic of what is wrong with America today. Would that we had done in WWII as we did in WWI…

    Now, maybe that’s supposed to be a wedding ring and it’s just a particularly edgy abstinence ad.

    Pogie’s reporting that rumors are flying around the capitol about the behavior of the Round Mound of Knoxious Pounds, Jumbo Jimmy Knoxious! Seems that Jumbo Jimmy has been a baaaaad “little” boy in his boorish behavior towards some of the young people in the capitol. Wonder exactly what he did? But seriously, what could Jimbo possibly do that hasn’t already been done by this august group of inbreds known as the teatards?!
