Not true. He's not remotely conservative. He's an early member of the Clinton Global Initiative ('We are passionate about our commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative'). During the days when every room of the Clinton White House was for sale, Gibson hosted a 50th Anniversary Concert for President Clinton.
Gibson CEO Henry J. was a presenter at MTV's Rock the Vote the year that Clinton won the Lifetime Achievement Award and Barack Obama was recognized.
He's a founding member of the Rainforest Alliance, which believed in man-made global warming but now believes in man-made climate change.
He just made a contribution to Rep. Jim Cooper of Tennessee; his only other contribution to a candidate or party since 1990 was to Mike Huckabee, according to opensecrets.org.
He's on the board of a group that sponsors poetry slams for diversity and other diversity causes.
His company sponsors the John Lennon bus museum.
And he's on the board of a bunch of environmental groups.
Some Tea Party bloggers said he was conservative because it sounded good in the "Eric Holder's Raids" blogs.
He's a flaming lib, until he needs a press bite after the August raids. I've known him since 1978.
And what other two companies? His major competitor is Fender. Not Martin. Not Taylor, or whomever the other "second" company is.
He has obviously done something to get the current administration mad at him. Of course if they run him out of business, then the Chinese can open up a guitar factory and sell them in the US as Glibsons and thus help give them more money to buy our debt with.
The other two companies were the once mentioned in the article at the beginning of this chain of posts.
I also forgot that the Dems say that every dollar given in unemployment and food stamps generates two dollars in the ecoomy. Causing Gibson to close his plant will put more folks on unemployment and food stamps thus causing the economy to expand. More unemployment, fewer real jobs ought to be this administrations election mantra
