The FBI??? What the hell?

They’re trying to make this a criminal matter now? Good grief. This is really over the top.

That was a staged malfunction. NBC news had to admit that they had placed explosives in the trucks to make them blow up on camera.

HEY NUTmeg I post from Twitter on Canteen yeah I just hear

I'm a Luddite... I'm not on Twitter or FaceBook yet. (I will be someday)

At CPAC last week, I sat in the audience next to a friend from California who was Twittering away on her iPhone and was getting the "inside scoop" on what surprise guests were going to appear at CPAC, etc. I was SO impressed! Now I understand why everyone loves Twitter.

Yeah, it’s just a coincidence, not timed or anyting. Say, were the suppliers who were raided wearing fedora hats when the FBI busted in?

“I said it right from the start- Obama did not have to nationalize the auto industry- only one. then use the power of the government to drive the others out of business”

You are right on.
Ford is on deck.

Was the FBI raiding Ford when their Super Doodies were catching on fire from the cruise control?

Colluding to exclude the UAW?

They say this is not a criminal investigation and not related to the current acceleration problems. Department of Justice spokesperson Gina Talamona said.

Not. Buying. A. Word. Of. It.

Since this came from the DOJ I am believing the opposite.

Check it out. Your other response was reasonable.

I’d like more of your reasoning...at face value, this is quite distubing.

This is draconian to the nth degree. This is looking more and more like a government setup to take down Toyota. Honda better beware.

Like antitrust deals with something OTHER than criminal(ized) behavior!
