| #7 Movie Forrest Gump showed him as a Klan member so it must be true. |

| #6 Could be that we seeing an unrolling of the Left's analog of The Schlieffen Plan. I mean, assume Hillary is POTUS. Left wing attacks on Confederate monuments are escalated until there is a violent response - and I don't mean somebody pressing on the gas, but a few dozen "protesters" shoot. President Hillary decrees emergency situation ans suspends habeas corpus. |

| #4 in January 1869, faced with an ungovernable membership employing methods that seemed increasingly counterproductive, Forrest issued KKK General Order Number One: “It is therefore ordered and decreed, that the masks and costumes of this Order be entirely abolished and destroyed.” [63] In August 1874, Forrest “volunteered to help ‘exterminate’ those men responsible for the continued violence against the blacks.” After the murder of four blacks by a lynch mob after they were arrested for defending themselves at a BBQ, Forrest wrote to Tennessee Governor Brown, offering “to exterminate the white marauders who disgrace their race by this cowardly murder of Negroes.” [64] |

| #3 He was never a member of the KKK and wrote letters calling for their disbandment. |

| #2 I would think digging up any grave would be illegal without some kind of judicial documentation (permission from kin, etc). Can't have that sort of stuff no matter who or what. |

| #1 We wondered when this bullshit would begin. All confederate graves are considered by law to be US veterans. Doesn't matter what you think about Forrest, he is a US vet and you have desecrated a veteran's grave. Further action will result in your idiot asses being buried next to him. |
