Patel, a Democrat, had no idea who might be running against Wilson in the 2010 election, but the oncologist found challenger Rob Miller's campaign Web site and donated $500 before midnight that very evening.

"I didn't know who Mr. Wilson's opponent was until he opened his mouth," Patel told McClatchy. "I watched the president's speech and was horrified. I found Mr. Wilson's comment to be extremely rude and disrespectful."

Over the next 24 hours, thousands of people from all 50 states contributed a total of almost $400,000 to each of the campaigns of Wilson and Miller, according to new finance records filed with the Federal Election Commission.
