…you can fall flat on your face.
Many of the stories say that Democrats raised about $13,000 for the Hillsborough NC Republican office that was firebombed. They also say that Republicans raised about $4,000.
But, how many Republicans donated to the first appeal and so didn't donate to the second appeal?
We just can't leap to the conclusion that the Democrats are more generous than Republicans when it comes to small donations. Or that more Democrats reach out to Republicans than Republicans reach out to Democrats.
