Not only the donation, but I try not to do business with stupid people.
this is the official response from the website:
“Regarding the USA Today Article. Cooper Firearms of Montana, Inc. did not contribute and does not support in any fashion the campaign of Senator Obama.
Nine months ago Dan Cooper (personally) made an online donation to the campaign in an effort to help defeat Hillary Clinton and in protest of American plant closures and the shipping of jobs overseas. Three months ago he made yet another donation to the McCain campaign and the RNC totaling over twice that given to Obama campaign.
There is no doubt that the article in USA Today has caused a considerable response. To this end we are encouraged and stand with our fellow NRA members and supporters of the Second Amendment and against those who oppose it.”

and there is a reason why this creep will remain a “small” businessman....
Not true!
Cooper Firearms DID NOT DONATE in the way you are thinking. 0bama's propaganda ministers (MSM) got it wrong.
From the HOMEPAGE of their website:

Can we remove this post, please, Admins?

You mean the media would lie to us in favor of 0bama? /sarc.
thats funny I saw uit and did not believe so I started searching and 3 of us found it at the same time
It’s utterly amazing what the press is doing. They are losing all respect and racking up resentment like there’s no day-after-election.
I, for one, will not forget what I’ve seen here. They are dangerous and clearly un-American.
Did you read the quote in the article?
“That’s on top of the $1,000 check he wrote to Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign in 2004, after he was dazzled by Obama’s speech at that year’s Democratic National Convention.
In other words, I got caught so this is damage control
Uh, it is true. He donated to the Obama campaign and admitted it. Why is that not true and why are you trying to narc?
...does he not realize that Obama is going to put him out of business?
Someone should inform Mr. Cooper of the Smith & Wesson story....
Me thinks Cooper doth protest too loudly......
For a small gun company to support OBAMA for ANY reason, could be a suicidal exercise.... Just ask the folks at Smith & Wesson...
One thing is for certain, you wouldn’t be calling me the names you called me in that email in person — not without ending up on your back, anyway.
He made the donation as a protest and to help defeat Hillary Clinton. Do you support Hillary Clinton?
He later made a donation, twice the size, to the RNC.
Why smear his business for this? Why fall prey to the MSM and their omissions?
This is an NRA member and a guy who MAKES firearms, for Christ’s sake.
I don’t want the thread posted because what it pushes is not true. It didn’t state the truth until FReepers started replying — that’s bullsh*t that should be taken down.
Put it up again with all of the information instead of sending us out on some wild-goose-chase against this man and his company.
Are you braindead? He admitted he donated to Obama. Can you not read?
I won’t ignore everything else presented to join your witch hunt.
If that’s braindead, then I’m your huckleberry.
Of all the things going on right now you pick this to trumpet?
You can grab your pitchfork and torch and march all night if your so inclined.
Your post is not complete and its implications are erroneous.
It should be redone properly or taken down.
Okay sparky. You must have been a hall monitor.
It is exactly the reason that I have not bought a firearm made by Smith & Wesson, except for the Victory Model 38 (WWII production) I obtained before they colluded with the Clinton Administration.
