57. The sad truth is that Karl Kemp has donated to Democratic candidates...
http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?st=NY&la...
Namely Chuck Schumer, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

The right-wing bloggers should have a field day with this one, since it has plug-and-play adaptability with the "party of hate" and "elitist" themes that they love to spew.

If he is a registered Democrat, I would ask Karl Kemp to sever his party affiliation immediately, because his actions are an affront to Democratic ideals.

I mean, WWJD with this guy? Turn him into a snail? :grr:
