I did use a search engine and this is what I found.
Justice for Harlan Crow - The Daily Beast
I've had the privilege of visiting Harlan Crow's collection of historical artifacts. This vast assembly of books and documents mostly emphasizes Americana of great rarity and value, including handwritten letters by Abraham Lincoln. The Crow collection is professionally curated, beautifully displayed, and will (I have little doubt) someday form a great public amenity, much like the Morgan Library.
To suggest that Crow somehow endorses Nazism because he has juxtaposed paintings by Churchill, Eisenhower, and Hitler is not to understand what collectors do or why collections exist. Great collections preserve and display the physical record of the past, and that record includes much evil. To record is not to endorse. You'd think that would be obvious, but apparently not.
You didn't even mention his garden:
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. Theres a head of Stalin, a rare statue of Fidel Castro, a towering Lenin and various other bad guys expropriated from their countries of origin.
Churchill. Roosevelt and Hitler, oh my! Welcome to Texas, Mitt Romney
Can you imagine if Obama sat under paintings of "Hitler" and wandered a garden filled with statues of Lenin and Stalin and Castro?
Seriously. Can you imagine the right wing. They would go bonkers and nuts. But when their people do it, it's "contemplating art".
WHAT A FUCKING DOUBLE STANDARD!!!!
Right wingers can get away with anything. The base will support them no matter what.
Oh well, if there is a problem, you can always call 211.
