The house built on hate is blowing down

Counter Clinton Library group folds
LITTLE ROCK - A group that had hoped to build two museums to rebut the displays at the Clinton Presidential Library with strong support from former Georgia Republican congressman Bob Barr is folding.
I wonder if the IRS will pursue them.
The library web site also claims that "donations above $250 are partially deductible." But it doesn't say under which IRS statute this will be permitted. (An e-mail from ConWebWatch to the library seeking answers to this and other questions was not answered.) One has to wonder, though, that since the library has an expressed political purpose -- LeBoutillier comes right out and states, boldface and italics and all, that "The Counter Clinton Library will be the headquarters of the Stop Hillary Now campaign" -- if the IRS will consider it a political organization and subject it to those rules -- which might also require a full list of donors be made available to the public. Donations are being directed to a post office box in Little Rock, which is being monitored by a man named Ron Crane, described by the Democrat-Gazette as "a local hospital employee."
