We all had to hear the righties whining when George Clooney held a 40k per plate dinner for President Obama, but did he have it at the house of a man who admired Hitler and Hitler's artwork?
Nope.
Imagine how the rightwing would be screaming if President Obama went to a fundraising dinner at a Hitler admirer's house with Hitler's paintings surrounding -- and looking down on -- the dinner guests!
It's all Corrupt Rupert's channel would have whined about for a week! But not a word about it since Wishy Washy Willard was the guest of honor.
From the Dallas Morning News:
Mitt Romney’s two-day fundraising waltz across Texas begins today in
Dallas with a pair of high-dollar events — one for $2,500-givers at the
Belo Mansion and for the really big donors – those who cut a check for
$50,000 for the GOP or bundle $200,000 from others — dinner with Romney
at the Highland Park home of developer Harlan Crow. What better place
for Romney to get a Texas-size sense of the American spirit than Crow’s
spacious estate.
Crow is quite a collector. His personal library would rival a small
college, complete with first editions on American history, several
original Gilbert Stewart paintings decorating the walls and, under long
glass displays, letters of famous people from Thomas Jefferson to the
Wright brothers. Then there’s the room mementos of the principals of
World War II – on one wall, a painting by Winston Churchill, on another
wall a landscape by Dwight Eisenhower and, on a third wall, two original
paintings of a European city scene by Adolph Hitler. On an antique
table is a signed copy of Churchill’s book on fly fishing. Outside,
should Romney get an opportunity to wander the grounds, is a garden of
tyrants. Crow has collected busts and statues of famous dictators of the
past, which he displays with a certain elan on the lawn. There’s a head
of Stalin, a rare statue of Fidel Castro, a towering Lenin and various
other bad guys expropriated from their countries of origin.
