Bad, bad, wood!

It’s very rare that I overestimate Obama. I consider the usurper a lazy and stupid version of Satan - evil without the enthusiasm. In this case though, I knew the whole story and missed the explanation. I figured (and may even have posted on FR) that Obama was not quite stupid or corrupt enough to have launched that obvious an attack to punish a conservative. I was wrong. Obama is every bit as petty and evil as I always suspected, but he has no shame and feels no need to be discrete given the 24/7 media cheerleader support.

Thanks for posting. I’ve been trying to follow this story.
Sounds like the multi-agency coordinated harassment experienced by True-the-Vote, and its leader, Catherine Engelbrecht!
So many parts of this article are parsed or present as factual statements that aren’t correct.
Here’s the first hint that this journalist based his story on press releases and other journalists, and never read any of the court documents related to either confiscation action. He refers to East Indian Rosewood; the wood involved in the August 2011 raids and confiscation action was East Indian Ebony.
Henry J’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.
In 2009, Gibson knew what it was doing was wrong and they did it anyway.
Article neglects to mention Gibson is a non-union shop. The others are union. Follow that money, too.
I’m a guitarist by hobby. I’ve bought several guitars in the past. I currently own a Gibson Les Paul. My next guitar will be a Gibson. I’ll support them over any company that gives money to Democrats.
And now the raids do make sense. Sad that the Dems have debased themselves to such a low level. Have they no concept of shame?
