They Were Not ‘Palmer Raids’

December 21, 2010

Writes Gary North:

We read: “Government spying on American citizens went berserk with the post-war Red Scare and Palmer Raids.”

They were not Palmer raids.  They were Wilson raids.  The Leftists who have written the textbooks decided decades ago to focus attention below the Exporter of Democracy.  Somehow, the Attorney General acted on his own, against the better judgment of the Great Peacemaker.
