Another hypocrit leftist scum-bag exposed. He should do the right thing and donate them. No can do, takes a lot of money to be a communist I guess.

Indeed it does.

Cash-Strapped Communists Hawk Treasures (France) (The Telegraph (UK) 6-10-2007 Kim Willsher)

Famously supported by poets and intellectuals including Pablo Picasso, the surrealists André Breton and René Magritte and poet Louis Aragon, the Communists were historically never short of a few francs. But they were always secretive about their funding, partly because some of it came from the KGB.

Now the party has been forced to admit things are "seriously tight", after claims that it plans to sell the family silver, including its emblematic Paris headquarters - a listed building designed by the Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer - and valuable art including Mona Lisa with Moustache by Marcel Duchamp.

In the "catastrophic" election campaign, party leader Marie-George Buffet ran up a £3.7 million bill that yielded less than two per cent of the votes. Under France's complex system of political funding, the collapse of support meant only £550,000 was reimbursed by the state, rather than the £5.4 million the party would have received had it won at least five per cent of the national vote.

Again, the question the media won't ask, what causes is Harry Belafonte feeding this money to?
