Found the link over on LRH.com and they said Dan had an explanation on his website, but I couldn't find it.

Wow, this is something! Should make Cooper M 22 who wants Montana to secede totally freak out!

Now, Dan is trying to spin it as he only gave a contribution to beat hillary. And he now contributes only to McCain Campaign in an email response. I don't believe him. I will not buy a cooper or recommend thier rifles again.

This is not the entire story what I have heard. First what I know to be true is when Dan seen him and made the contributions to Obama is bake when he was running agents Hilary Clinton. Not McCain and yes back then it was on the Cooper Web site. But it has been taken off because he is no longer supporting Obama but the news will not tell you that, this was at one time on the Cooper site.

You are soooooooooooooooo very wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cooper changed sides, he said, "probably because of the war. And also because the Republican Party has moved so far right in recent years."
He also likes Obama's message about "the retooling of America, which involves the building of middle-class jobs and helping American small business be competitive with those overseas."

I hope the traitor is bankrupt before the next election. And when this news makes it to hunting publications he will be.[:@]

By October 28th, 2008 Cooper Firearms of Montana removed their online distributor list and released this message on their 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.[4]
[/blockquote]
To date the Federal Election Commission has one Dan Cooper, the Cooper Arms president and CEO, as donating at least $3100 dollars to the Barack Obama campaign and zero donations to the McCain campaign from 2007 to October 29, 2008.[5] The National_Rifle_Association (NRA) has rated Barack Obama as a F grade for his support of gun control and actively opposes his campaign.
