Bluto Government Raids Gibson Guitar

BLUTO GOVERNMENT Raids; Shuts Down Gibson Guitar

Wants Manufacturing Outsourced to India

“

The raids forced Gibson to cease manufacturing operations and send workers home ... [Obama government] has suggested that the use of wood from India that is not finished by Indian workers is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because it is the Justice Department’s interpretation of a law in India. (If the same wood from the same tree was finished by Indian workers, the material would be legal.) This action was taken without the support and consent of the government in India.” [full]

Another day. another sign ... .

On the other hand, many of Gibson’s customers are the same whiners who call for idiotic environmental laws. Maybe Gibson just forgot their Obama donation.; 8/27/11, 12:04 PM

BlogDog said...: Big Hollywood reports that the head of Gibson is a Republican donor while the head of Martin, which uses the same wood and has not been raided is a Democrat donor.

Kristophr said...: Some judge in India is butthurt that a lumber exporter sent unfinished lumber abroad, and expects US buyers to pay fines and such.

More unconstitutional law ... making a manufacturer liable for overseas export legal decisions about materials imported legally.

So ... if Saudi Arabia passes a law to tax infidels 200% on petroleum exports, and make it retroactive to 100 years ago, does that mean we all have to send them money?

Apparently.; 8/27/11, 7:28 PM
