Nathan Forrest had his issues but no man should be turned out of his grave.

Did up the grave? Will they end up cremating the remains at a stadium type venue?

Nathan Forrest had his issues but no man should be turned out of his grave.Agreed. I don't care for Forrest, but digging up his grave is bordering on barbarism.

Another democrat:
” He was a pledged delegate from Tennessee to the New York Democratic national convention of 4 July 1868. He served as the first Grand Wizard (head of movement) of the Ku Klux Klan, but later distanced himself from the organization.”
” In 1858, Forrest (a Democrat), was elected a Memphis city alderman.[8]”

Why don’t we fly him to Mars, and bury him there? ;)

They sure want to get all this in before the shooter announces he’s converted to Islam in jail.

Nathan Forrest had his issues but no man should be turned out of his grave.The Left is going to overplay their hand on the whole Confederate flag issue and there's going to be a backlash. They're starting to piss off even liberal southerners.

Correct. The proposal was put forth by barbarians, so it is not surprising at all.
To: JennysCool
Now they want to dig up bodies like the ghouls they are

"mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, says he thinks a statue of Confederate General and Ku Klux Klan leader Nathan Bedford Forrest should be removed from its location at a city park"
Meanwhile, the Liberals brothers-in -arms in Iraq and Syria are "removing ancient Roman mausoleums(with high explosives) and other artifacts because Roman paganism represents a hateful past and is "offensive" to ISL's delicate, sensitive Islamic sensibilities.
No immediate response from Hillary's campaign office, the White House nor the Democratic National office.

This has been going on for a while. I thought they had already been moved months ago.
I don’t remember where to find it, but there is a story out there, including excerpts from a speech, in which he speaks to the former slaves & accepts a bouquet from one of the women, commenting to the effect that he had always loved the ladies.
He was no racist.
