  • Interesting that Fox is the main outlet (mis)reporting this story. It has nothing to do with the "endangered" species of woods, only to do with Gibson's doing business with the military coup that overthrew the Malagasy government in 2009.

  • @rayjr62 I was joking, but thanks for your valuable input. What you have said has really changed my view on the government, asshat.

  • @TheCapa612 Obama had nothing to do with this, asshat.

  • Obama must like strats.

  • An armed raid, which will result in the loss of American jobs is an outrage. This at best should have been a court case, not a raid. It's all based on murky foreign laws. This stinks of selective enforcement. The bigger this story gets, the better.

  • @dpsp39 Funny that the government didn't "interpret" it that way for the number of other guitar and furniture companies that use the same wood. Still no raids on them. Why not? Gibson is a big Republican donor and they refuse to unionize. Dem's stroke the balls of the unions for their money. It is a political hit job.

  • @RagingTic As more info comes out it appears that Gibson are in violation. They have unsealed the warrant and it appears that Gibson imported the wood as "veneer" which it is not.

  • @floatingcompassmedia

    This is your opinion and I respect others opinions. It is not fact though and objectively assessing facts is much more helpful than emotional decisions; guess that's my opinion.
