How are we supposed to believe that James Knox is in touch with the needs and views of the people of his district in the Billings Heights when he’s not even in touch with himself?
In the comments to a Billings Gazette opinion piece endorsing his opponent for city council last election cycle, James Knox logged on as jknox65 (whose profile says he is a fan of the Billings Heights) and defended himself in the third person, as if he was a separate human being. Here’s what he had to say about himself.
First, Knox says he came to his own door to campaign in the rain:
I must applaud Mr. Knox for he is running hard and showing through actions that he wants the position of serving us in the heights. He came to my home while it was raining, thought it was odd he was willing to campaign in the rain, but I could see no alternate motives at all.
I keep reading how people in Billings want representatives that will listen and consider different options. Why not consider Knox? He is running a good company in two states. Perhaps he can bring some good ideas to Billings City Council? Someone here said there is a reason Cimmino was not elected previously and I think they are right.
Then he praises his own weird behavior as “courage”:
The reality is this. Two candidates have tossed their name in the race. One is out there saying hey I am running and hard, the other is running on her name from long ago. Though I don’t knock her for running, seems many want to knock Mr Knox (no pun intended) for putting his funds and effort into this race. Can we really say he is wrong for this? NO! I think we need to consider him and his stances. He has even responded here, the only time I have seen a posting and the man had the courage to put his name to what he said. Most of you have not except after he asked you too. He also put his web site in his comment so others could find out more. How much more transparent can you be. Nice one Mr. Knox!
Examples of just how out of touch James Knox is with the needs and challenges facing the people of Montana abound. Knox sides with insurance companies, is endorsed by the Tea Party and Roger Koopman, and is rumored to be a homeschooler.
Pam Ellis is the person we need in the legislature. UPDATE: Pam Ellis just launched a sleek new website.
Say I just gotta ask this question is that a real photo of James Knox or is it photo shopped cause I cant imagine anybody especially a right wing bible thumping conservative city council/ state legislative candidate going out in public dressed like that. I mean Ive seen some weird stuff before but thats too wierd and I do think there should be dress codes in public and if this is a real photo that proves that we need a dress code
It appears to be real. What makes me think so is the rest of his ensemble and the look on his face.
WOW OMG WOW and this is the best the Billings Christian Righties had to offer was this clown WOW what will he do in the legislature???
Cowgirl, you continue to amaze and amuse me with what you find! Keep it up — the best political blog for investigative reporting for Montana!
The photo of James is most certainly real, just add him as a friend on Facebook and see for yourself. He friends everyone, and the photos are there for the world to see. You can also get a good peek at his “environmentalist” side by the look of his 4X4. It appears he will lie and manipulate anyone.
I also just checked out his business KBS Computer Solutions on the Better Business Bureau’s website. A big fat “F”. That should surely spark some additional distrust!

I know that Pogie thinks this is funny. That Pogie, he sure knows funny.
That ‘stevie boy’ is obviously him too. Thats some funny shit right there.
I see he’s one of them evil home schoolers too.
Baaad.
Personally I think the guy looks like a doof. So if I was in his district I doubt that I’d vote for him. BOTOH…look what happens when you vote for someone who looks nice and says all the right things.
Wow please dont tell me we have a James Dobson and Pat Davison love child here do we. I met this man at Harvest Church in Billings MT back in April, he didnt seem this weird but I guess you never know about that guy in the pew ahead of you on Sunday Morning he might be normal or he might be going home right after to get a crack pipe
After reading all of the opinion pieces in the Billings Gazette, I have come to the conclusion that each comment in support of James Knox was posted by James Knox.
