The son is Forrest, as in Nathan Bedford Forrest, Confederate general and first grand wizard of the KKK. Probably no coincidence that daughter Tyler shares the name of the last Confederate General slain in battle and daughter Brooke shares the name of John Mercer Brooke, an officer in the Confederate Navy who designed a weapon called the Brooke Rifle, produced in Richmond and used by Confederate soldiers. She also shares the name of Richard Brooke Garnett, Confederate General from Virginia killed in the battle of Gettysburg.

I went to high school with George Allen in California. He wore a Stars and Bars pin in his senior photo and was suspended for spray painting racist graffiti on the school walls. He's a genuine piece of work.

Burn the confederate rag and defame the graves of confederate soldiers! Dawson Leery Nov 2012 #1
