The Minnesota dentist who authorities say killed a beloved Zimbabwe lion named Cecil donated to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.

Federal Elections Commission (FEC) forms show Walter James Palmer, a dentist in Eden Prairie, Minn., donated $5,000 to the Romney campaign in 2012.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

Not sure if the Dems want to start talking about who their contributors have been killing. Two words, Planned Parenthood.

“Mugabe probably donated to Obozo.”

Planned Parenthood or its employees certainly did.

So what did this guy do that was wrong or illegal in Zimbabwe? Was he poaching? Did he not have lion tag?

Notice how the press can’t even pretend to be outraged at the government of Zimbabwe for the corruption leading to this.

The guy who shot up the movie theater in Louisiana and killed two PEOPLE liked Obama’s spending policies ..... equally as relevant. (What tripe)

As much as I don’t like the fact that this lion is dead, I’m still disgusted that this story has more traction than the Planned Parenthood story.

So what does this have to do with Mitt Romney?

Is every criminal that contributes to, say, Bernie Sanders, ever have his name put out there prominently by the media?

How about contributors to the cause of Herself, Madame Benghazi, the Cold & Joyless? Have they committed perhaps some shameless unconscionable acts of their own? Are they being identified as supporters of “Move On” or “Forward” or “Occupy Wall Street” or “Planned Parenthood”?

Instead of being exclusively angry with this fellow and digging up every detail of his life (I guess because he gave to a Republican candidate, this must means it’s OK to do this, sarc), I would like to see people being just as or even more mad with ones like Robert Mugabe and Jacob Zuma and other sub Saharan African government leaders. The illegal and immoral poaching and trade in ivory and lion skins owes a great deal of their existence to the rampant corruption that these leaders preside over in their governments.

Poor ol’ lion. I can’t believe he was named after Cecil Rhodes though, could he be?
