No argument there. But he didn’t praise the Bolshevik Revolution BEFORE IT HAPPENED.
Ditto that... and Wilson actually sent the US Army into Russia in 1918 (after Lenin and the commies hijacked the Russian Revolution) They ended up fighting the damn Bolsheviks, not supporting them. We lost a couple of hundred men there on damn nasty duty in ugly far-away places and some of their remains we have never recovered.
I don't know who started this thread or if there was any motive to do so, (suspect that there was) but the entire premise that Wilson supported the commies is pure BS.
If anything, with his Red Scare and his Attorney General at the time (Palmer), he made Joseph McCarthy look to be soft on the commies. Wilson actually put those guys in prison with no trials --- and got away with it.
I guess at least one person on this thread intends this to be a slap at Newt because Newt said something good about Wilson. Wilson was a Progressive jerk for sure, (probably not as bad as Teddy Roosevelt would have been if he had been elected in 1912) but he was not a socialist or a commie by any definition of those words.
Anyone who wants to buy into that fiction should set back and read some history.
Good Lord, this is why I hate this damn Primary System we are stuck with. It devolves into nothing but fratricide against people who are natural allies. It's a classic divide & conquer recipe. We should be directing all of our fire at the enemy --- Obama and the leftist Democrats, rather than trying to destroy each other.
People pushing this s**t are no friends of The Free Republic. I'm sick of seeing this crap on these pages.
