Remember when Gibson Guitar was raided?

<blockquote>The inexplicable raid nearly two years ago on a guitar
maker for using allegedly illegal wood that its competitors also used
was another targeting by this administration of its political enemies…

Interestingly, one of Gibson’s leading competitors is C.F. Martin
& Co. According to C.F. Martin’s catalog, several of their guitars
contain “East Indian Rosewood,” which is the exact same wood in at least
10 of Gibson’s guitars. So why were they not also raided and their
inventory of foreign wood seized?

Grossly underreported at the time was the fact that Gibson’s chief
executive, Henry Juszkiewicz, contributed to Republican politicians.
Recent donations have included $2,000 to Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn.,
and $1,500 to Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.

By contrast, Chris Martin IV, the Martin & Co. CEO, is a
long-time Democratic supporter, with $35,400 in contributions to
Democratic candidates and the Democratic National Committee over the
past couple of election cycles.

Is this paranoid, tinfoil hat territory? I assure you that Obama supporters reading this will declare it to be exactly that. But given what we’ve been finding in the news recently, is it really that far fetched? Not any more.
