A group of anti-Confederate protesters aren’t happy enough with the declaration by the city of Memphis that it wants to dig up and move the remains of Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest.

They want it done now.

A group surrounded a shovel Wednesday and ceremoniously removed a chunk of grass and soil.

“We are going to bring the back hoe, the tractors and the men with the equipment to raise Bedford Forrest from the soil of Memphis,” Isaac Richmond with the “Commission on Religion and Racism” declared to awaiting TV cameras, CBS 3 reported.

This is the problem, right here.

Mob mentality meets instant fame.

Will this be the new normal? Will they dig up G Washington’s grave? I wish the leftists who do this would fall into the grave and remain there.

This guy hasn’t been around in over a month, but thought I’d ping him to this thread.

Next they’ll ban the movie Forrest Gump (named after the Confederate general).

I guess they think they’re pushing our buttons.

Think of it! DimocRATS desecrating the grave of a man who was once one of their greatest heros!

I believe George and Martha are in sarcophagi which are above ground. Maybe Mount Vernon should increase security at George Washington’s grave anyway.

This whole thing takes me back to the controversy when Reagan visited the German cemetery at Bitburg.

I found an old article, what struck me was Reagan’s firmness in the face of intense media criticism, not unlike what we are seeing now with Trump.

Also notice, how the GOP didn’t run away from Reagan.

Gee, thanks. I can hardly wait to hear from him. Maybe you could see if Libby-Lu is available also.

“Run, Forrest. RUN!”

Next they’ll ban The Rebel with Nick Adams from the Western Channel.

Hadn’t thought of that, but your right!!!

[Jane Long]

LOLOL!!

Just curious what a NeverTrumper thinks about his s/n’s bones being dug up.

This is why Lincoln is buried in a steel cage under 3 tons of concrete.
