STEVENSVILLE, Mont., Oct. 31 (UPI) -- The namesake of Montana-based Cooper Firearms has been asked to resign as president of the company after he expressed support for Barack Obama.
The company said it asked Dan Cooper, founder and part owner of Cooper Firearms, to resign as president after he voiced support for the Democratic Illinois senator's bid for president in a USA Today interview published Tuesday, USA Today reported Friday.

"Although we all believe everyone has a right to vote and donate as they see fit, it has become apparent that the fallout may affect more than just Mr. Cooper," the company said in a statement on its Web site Wednesday. "It may also affect the employees and the shareholders of Cooper Firearms. The board of directors has asked Mr. Cooper to resign as president."

Cooper, who said he usually votes Republican, told the paper in the interview he planned to vote for Obama "probably because of the war. And also because the Republican Party has moved so far right in recent years."

Cooper said Thursday he had submitted his resignation to the board.

"There is nothing on this earth I will not do for my employees ... When the Internet anger turned on these innocent people, I felt it was important to distance myself from the company so as not to cause any further harm," he said.

ummmmmm WTF!

I'll say, the republican party is fielding a moderate and he thinks they've moved to the right? I guess that would mean that Rush Limbaugh is the advocate for liberal socialism huh?

WTFO?

I have to question the sensibilites of this cooper if he thinks his position does not conflict with private ownership gun rights. How stupid can you be?? Obama says he won't take your guns away... Are you retarded?? Look at his voting record. Look what he has done in the past.

Be safe (and look at what they do, not what they say).
