I'm no fan of Gibson, but I'm appalled by this crap. Apparently, Gibson was targeted over the rosewood matter the past couple of years, while others were left alone, because they (Gibson) contributed to Mitt Romney's presidential campaign:

Now it's coming out: why Gibson was targeted

pretty sure Gibson was under investigation years before Romney was running. (this should be in the politics section undet the platinum area right???). do you really thing Gibson would be targeted before the billioniares who spent more money then Gibson is worth on the campaign. get fucking real.

tough time for this country, everyone's divided, pointing fingers, full of hate for everyone and everything, and it's all because of information
real or imagined that is instantly put up like lightning for people to read, that's if they know how to read at all anymore.
i'm with Rich on this one, they were under investigation long before Wizard Mitt was up for election.Not helping the situation since 1965!

I think it had more to do with Bob Taylor than anything. He had some snyde remkarks and attitude in his video regarding ebony.

Ya know, the balls are rolling well before someone publicizes their candidacy for office. The name here may be wrong but I think the general idea could be more right than we care to admit. Funny how Martin wasn't hit eh?
I'm selling tinfoil hats anybody interested?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying there's more to the story than what we the public are privy to know. There always is. If it was all about the wood then how come Martin wasn't raided? They use more rosewood than anyone that I know of. It's undeniable that Gibson was singled out.In memory of Gary Wright 9/13/2012

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and I'm not seeing it. They claim that it is "eerily similar" to the IRS matter, but I think "vaguely similar" is more like it. When the capitalists are misbehaving and it's spanking time, the biggest kid gets spanked first. Them's the rules. Who's bigger than Gibson when it comes to guitar companies?_________________________________________________

wow. From what I can glean from that article (an article about someone else's article?) is that EVERY other guitar manufacturer that also uses East Indian Rosewood are Democratic contributors. Because that's the only reason they got away with breaking the same laws that Gibson did.
Or, maybe, they didn't break the law, Gibson did and the recent IRS scandal is an opportunity to retroactively cry foul about some govt conspiracy? I didn't see in either article any mention of contributions to Romney's presidential campaign. Only that small contributions were made to a couple of Republican representatives. Should anyone who makes any contribution of any amount to any Republican candidate at any level now be fearful that the govt is making designs to kick down their door? That makes much more sense than the idea that Gibson did something wrong and had to take their lumps.Hail yesterday
