Abdullah Makhlouf, the owner of a discount stereo store who is one of Mr. Abdullah’s closest friends, and his wife contributed $9,200.

“He’s like a worse copy than Bush,” Mr. Makhlouf said of Mr. McCain.

When a reporter initially contacted Mr. Makhlouf, he denied giving to the McCain campaign.

After eventually admitting to the donation, Mr. Makhlouf added, “I’m still not going to vote for him.”

3. Only the dems...repugs can take whatever they want...

4. $2300 for primary, $2300 for GE. They both can donate so their max would be $9200

2. Nothing to see there, move it along, people!

I give thousands of dollars of my hard-earned money to people I hate every day. Is that so hard to believe?

10. nah, he works at the car wash.

11. The only conclusion that makes sense is that they were bullied into it

It's not like he's donating almost 10K to lobby on behalf of his discount stereo store so the only reasonable conclusion is that he felt forced to do it.

12. Forced? Bullied?

More like paid right? Here's a check for $10k if you cut a check $9200.
