#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.

#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.

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

#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]

#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.

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