....what the heck is up with Grover Nordquist? I know he's on the board, I know folks are making wild claims about him. Why? When the source of
allegations is Glenn Beck, my BS meter sort of goes onto auto-pilot.

Perhaps you should explain what is going on.

Why? And ruin his dead horse rant?

I think we should outlaw all guns. Because we all know how well that worked with drugs when we outlawed them.

no, you're barking up the wrong tree. Apparently, a lot of folks have implored the NRA to toss Nordquist off the board, according to Beck, because he's
a supporter of the Muslim Brotherhood, and other pro-terror groups? I mean, I know the guy is a dangerous nut who makes people lock themselves into impractical budget pledges, but what is going on with the terror thing?

in case I"m throwing you off, it should read Norquist. I forgot the details of the mans name.

So let me get this straight...YOU are using Glen Beck as a source? Oh my, what is the liberal world coming too.

Glen Beck is completely looney tunes.

And if you want tunes and Beck you should forget Glen and enjoy Jeff

(With one of the best Bass players out there right now and the drummer and keyboardist don't exactly suck)

This will make the thread worthwhile regardless of your political leanings.

nah, the story is all over the net, but as one with ZERO ties to the NRA, and never a fan of Norquist anyway, it just didn't make sense. Lord knows, it wouldn't be the first Beck outrageous claim to make no sense, but the NRA claims to be investigating.

you'd be pleasantly surprised at the number of Jeff Beck albums I'm sitting across from right now. And, you are right, that Aussie girl is an OUTRAGEOUSLY good bass player. The wife and I saw her play with Beck, and are trying to catch her jazz tour in the US soon, with her own combo.

I googled and all I saw were links referencing Beck

that is reassuring, in a certain sense. Can now be dismissed as complete nonsense.
