The "Counter Clinton" Library Flips................Flops
Counter Clinton Library group folds

DAVID HAMMER

Associated Press

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'm giving up," said Houston businessman Richard Erickson, who established nonprofit Counterlibe Inc. last year to fund construction of a Counter Clinton Library in Little Rock and another in Washington.

"I was very passionate about this, but also very naive as far as fundraising procedures go," he wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

He said the Counter Clinton Library's Web site would be shut down soon. In addition to railing against the former president and his wife, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., the site touts what may have been the failed organization's biggest moment - a segment on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" in which a fake news reporter makes fun of the group's very mission.

That same show joked that presidential libaries draw "tens of visitors a year," but the Clinton Library has exceeded most expectations since opening in November, drawing more than 400,000 people in less than nine months.

Comments From Various Emails We Have Received

"Children, let us not love in words or speech only but in truth and action", 1 John 3:18. Thank you for your courage to bring the truth to the light and keep it there. May God be with you... Sincerely, Gloria J. Louisville, Colorado

This is THE BEST IDEA I've ever heard! Pure brilliance! Clinton deserves everything he gets and nothing less! Keep going on this awesome idea and don't let ANYONE stop you. Good luck! Allison C.

I'm a regular, small $$ contributor to the RNC. I applaud your fledging effort to create what I hope will be a lasting alert to Americans that character does indeed matter. The 8-year long disgrace that was the Clinton Presidency marks the temporary departure from "elected" life of the most dishonest, worst President in our nation's history. He, and his horrid wife, won't, however, go away soon. As soon as my wife and I pay our Christmas bills, I'll send $$. Donald Z. Montgomery County, PA

So that the Counter Clinton Library might present a more authentic picture of Clinton's exploits in the White House, will the library be equipped with "numerous closets"? Sincerely, Loyde A. Monroe, Louisiana

What a great idea!.......It will be a big thorn in their rear end to have a library built near their monument to stupidity that details their eight years of corruption. Oh man!...go for it! John in Seattle, Washington

Fantastic! Just took the tour, then forwarded the link to many people in my address book. Keep up the good work! Ned C, Texas
