My issue with the whole thing is this implication that he doesn't have the right to support who ever and what ever he wants to support. The donation was not made in the company's name. It's very different from Target making a corporate donation to a right wing group but the media is comparing the two and people are all up in arms about it.

While I agree he has the right to do it, I'm also concerned with how it's done. I am on my own personal boycott of companies who donate to the tea party and Gop, as well as US Chamber of Commerce associates. It is difficult, but I have to do what I feel is right for myself and those who concern me.
