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.”

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:

thats funny I saw uit and did not believe so I started searching and 3 of us found it at the same time
...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...
