I wouldnt advertise that Henry J is a Republican. He’s one of the most disliked CEOs in America.

Ping...

...The Gibson facility wasn’t raided over allegations of tax evasion, charges of embezzlement, or even something as drab as child labor. Not even close. It was raided over what the DOJ deems an inability to follow a vague domestic trade law in India (one that apparently the Indian government didn’t seem too concerned about enforcing) regarding a specific type of wood. Not illegal wood, just wood with obscenely specific procedural guidelines.

Lemme guess: somebody from Takamine was the subject matter expert.

This cannot stand - it appears to be pure harassment.

Figures.
I hope people still remember all of the car lots run by republican donors forced into closing after Obama bought GM.

Corrupt Federal prosecutors use the Lacey Act to put innocent Americans in prison for a few headlines.

A ping to all who replied on my earlier thread, "Federal agents search Gibson Guitar factory in Memphis."

It seems that Gibson was guilty of two things:

I'm sure they will consider rectifying the first issue by relocating their manufacturing operations to India.

Click through to this article. The "East Indian Rosewood" is also used by C.F. Martin & Company to make instruments. However, Mr. Martin is a big Democrat contributor. Strangely, his business was not raided/searched this week for using this wood.

To paraphrase BB King (one of Gibson’s most famous fans), “Nobody loves me but Obama. And he could be jivin’ me too.”

Here’s another thread on the topic:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2769621/posts

The DOJ is giving an interpretation of law in India that even India does not give. This is simply MORE evidence of a Department of Justice that serves anything BUT justice.

Holder should not simply be fired. He needs to be tried in court.....for several things. Add in all his radical hires and any appointees as well.

All of the issues cited are handled before shipment in India. There is no there there.

This is a political hit, just like the GM dealers.

Funny how this was my first thought when I initially heard of the incident.

Martin contributes to Libs? Shall I sell my D-28 and D-35? Not a friggin’ chance...could have been made by Beelzebub. CF Martin didn’t actually make the guitars, hired labor did. Wonder if they’re union. Thanks for the heads up.

We are now a nation of assemblers anyway. The guitars are probably built in Mexico and assembled in Nazarith, PA.

The next administration’s DOJ is going to be very busy investigating the abuses of power exhibited by THIS administration’s DOJ. Holder and his bunch make, even, Janet Reno look intelligent.

Republican leaders in Congress should hold a press conference and call on Obama to call off his dogs. Ride this issue for a week. Call this Obama’s jobs program.
