Gov. Lee signs proclamation for 'Nathan Bedford Forrest Day' to be observed in Tennessee | WZTV
Just following orders. But why not change the law? There is a lot of history to commemorate, like the liberation of slaves in TN. Why do Republicans honor those who sold them and terrorized freedmen?
Maybe when liberals are still clutching flags and statues from a war we lost a 150 years ago you'd have us beat. Conservatives turned the entire south into a safe space. :lamo
I know, the dog whistle was blown, and the pack has to bark, regardless how little they know about it.

Old people are irrelevant, but you're a fan of Bernie Sanders, who is old.
Contradiction...defined.
Irony noted.

Dog whistles are subtle, publicly honoring a white supremacist terrorist is about as un-subtle as it gets.
That doesn't necessarily make him a bad person. John F kennedy was also a womanizer. No one tried to taint is legacy.
Personally, I don't understand the declaration. However, the reports are this has been going on for years and years.
Where was the outrage 5 years ago? 10 years ago?
Perhaps the point is nobody knows about it, and nobody cares.
Oh, and dog whistles aren't subtle. At least not anymore. Without the blatant use of them just about hourly, the liberal MSM would be struggling more than they are to keep the doors open.
Click bait and dog whistle, the same thing in today's fake news liberal media environment.
Because the only Democrats Republicans seem to like are the dead racist ones. :shrug:
Why the hell is a Democrat being honored?
Because he's a traditional Southern conservative.
No he is a traditional Democrat, a big time racist. The only thing that changed is blacks used to be Democrat slaves, now they are Democrat pets.
How about Roy Moore PEDOPHILE Day?
One thing I did not know about Forrest and learned it today (from Ted Cruz from all people) is that this "noble" southern general slaughtered black troops and their white officers when they tried to surrender in the Fort Pillow massacre (Fort Pillow Massacre: Facts, Deaths & Significance - HISTORY)
If no one cares stop doing it. How about a little common sense in government
What do you know about it? Have you checked into why they do it, or are you just reacting?
I think another poster has already stated that if Ted Cruz is dogging you........well you know!
What do you know about it? What possible purpose can this serve?
End the practice. Common sense
Why do they make this proclamation, year after year? Come on, you can do it. You can take some responsibility and learn for yourself. I have faith in you!

Because he was a racist. Like Trump. Lots of Dems moved over to support Trump, because of, you know, his Democratic party values.
