Montel Williams, a 1990s-era TV talk-show host who's since turned to infomercials and political activism as a means of making a living, said in several Twitter messages he's quite OK with authorities using deadly force to take out the Oregon protesters who've taken over a federal building - that they're "buffoons" with "terrorist" tendencies and unworthy of constitutional protections,.
In a tweet, he wrote, the Blaze reported" "It appears #OregonUnderAttack by a bunch of undereducated terrorist buffoons who follow #ClivenBundy shall we send them to meet #ISIS."

You mean pot smoking Montel Williams who is prohibited from even touching a firearm?
And if some said that about him....to shoot to kill...would he cry racism?
He was a pretty boy Naval Officer in a white uniform that caught media attention. Thereafter we all came to see exactly what he was made of.
Montel loves the central socialist government.
He has relegated himself to nobody status, so who gives a damn what this ear-ringed halfrican has to say?
As one who has been on the front line in situations like this here in the west, I can tell you that waiting on the “courts to decide,†at this point, and for cases like this, is almost a guarantee that the right thing will not happen. That’s sad...but there it is.
In this case, for the two ranchers involved, as I understand it, a court did rule and the two ranchers served/met that court’s decision. But the feds, not being satisfied, successfully got a judge to reassess, and now they want the two ranchers to go away for a long time.
The actions at this remote set of building are in response to that.
Quite frankly, living here in the intermountain west and understanding the situation around grazing rights, what the courts determined in the first place was wrong. Wrong headed, and just plain unjust.
Setting backfires to protect your property is something people do all the time...and the federal government does all the time.
Burning off invasive, noxious vegetation is something done all the time.
In this case the land was leased, federal land and they are using that to go after these two.
Anyhow, we waited for the “right thing†to occur at Klamath...and it did not. Ultimately a bunch of us took direct action...which we could have gone to jail for...and it changed things, the public got behind us, and ultimately the court followed suite at that time and the farmers in there were given a chance to retain their water rights.
What is happening t these ranchers, sounds a lot in principle like what happened to the farmers in the Klamath Basin back in 2001...except then, it was the Sucker Fish that the Feds used as the tool to deprive honest US citizens of their rights.
I cannot say that what Bundy’s son did was best...I am not there and directly involved...but I can say that people in this part of the country are sick and tired and full up of an ever encroaching federal government that creates reasons to go after anyone who will not toe their line.
I can also say that I took an oath to protect and defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
I have learned over the past 25+ years that that does not necessarily mean that someone rising up against encroachment of their rights is the enemy, nay, more likely the enemy is the ones encroaching those rights.
That same oath indicates that we bear true faith and allegiance to the constitution...and oft times that clause right there, when soberly considered, and faithfully followed, lets us know who is on what side of the constitutional line.
That’s what I did before driving over to become involved at Klamath. I suggest that is what people should do before determining where to side, and what to do in this instance.
So, before folks respond by either demonizing these people (which this article does not do), or trying to tell them what they should do (which in a sense this article does do)...folks should get all of the fact they can from sources they absolutely trust, because I can promise you, from my own experience, that the full story is not being told on CNN, ABS, NBC, CBS, etc. and that interviews are cut and edited and presented in the light that those organizations want them presented in.
Anyhow, get that information from the places you know you can trust, and then seriously consider the constitution and what you would do if placed in the situation these people are now in. Then decide.
I we do not do this, then we are very susceptible to responding in the wrong fashion and being led to stand against, or even fight against the very people we should be helping
Our founders did not want to rebel against England. They wanted to be good subjects.  But a time came over decades, with many of the instances spread apart in time but not forgotten, when the encroachments on their rights were just too much...and so they rose up.
Out here in the west, as you know, the encroachments have been long standing and ever and ever more burdensome and more and more against the constitution.
I pray God’s wisdom to be with these people trying to stand against encroachments, and also with that Sheriff...that he will seek a peaceful and respectful solution that does not involve backing willy-nilly the federal agencies, or allowing them to come into his jurisdiction and ride rough shod over the people he had a duty to.
In addition, this morning CBS had Bundy’s son in an interview at the Refuge.
I recommend everyone watch that interview.
He did an EXCELLENT job. He came across very persuasively for citizen rights and their issue withy that refuge being expanded by the feds and ranchers being pushed out...and prosecuted by the federal government.
They showed pictures of the many people already there standing with them. It looked a LOT Like Klamath.
My prayers are with these people. They do not want to fight...they do not want to die...but they are willing to stand.
Bundy said this is not the militia, this is concerned citizens standing when the Federal government is abusing state’s rights and the state and county government are not protecting their citizens so the citizens are having to stand for themselves.
They want the state to tell the Feds to back away...and IMHO, they should.
Again, I pray for these people’s safety and success.
Its just the left, being consistent.
I’ll bet Montel is a big Black Lives Matter fan.
Not exactly. He was an enlisted Marine who ended up a mustang at Annapolis. He’s wrong here but he is a good supporter of GRUNTS and Marines.
He’s disgusting.
I remember seeing him on TV in naval whites.
Who needs it!?
We are full on East German Justice System Baby!
Didn’t our former Attorney General Holder once occupy a building, which would make him a terrorist also?
People who sort of resemble Montel do a lot of shooting to kill in Chicago, and Detroit, and Baltimore ...
Dude, that is ancient history and besides, Holder was takin' it to the White Privileged.
Montel came to Pennsylvania recently to speak for medical pot legislation.
He made a heavily promoted public appearance in Harrisburg (the capital city).
I’m surprised at this, too. He must only be listening to the TV and not finding out the truth before he shoots off his big mouth.
The Montel who married a guest of his show after seeing her crush a beer can between her butt cheeks?
Now, those are great buns...
A burn of grasslands is not ipso facto property destruction.
Not exactly. He was an enlisted Marine who ended up a mustang at Annapolis. He’s wrong here but he is a good supporter of GRUNTS and Marines.
