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

[dragnet2]

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

The mayor of one of the most dangerous cities in Tennessee is worried about a grave and statue?

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]”

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

They can’t get the guns so they go after the Confederate flag!

The mayor of Memphis, Tennessee, says he thinks a statue of Confederate General and Ku Klux Klan leader Nathan Bedford Forrest (Dem.) should be removed from its location at a city park.

There, fixed it!

"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.

Wharton said the graves of Forrest and his wife, also located at the park, should be relocated as well.

In the eliminating History department, we are giving ISIS a run for their money.

Moving graves of Confederate soldiers was sarcastically suggested here a few days ago..

He should be ashamed of himself. Memphis needs to throw this obscene, sniveling, spineless, cretin out of office. Wharton's preening and posturing on the bones and resting place of the defenseless dead is unbecoming a man. Scum. Pure scum. He thinks he's getting his sensitivity creds in but he has only succeeded in showing his arse.
