I have to give Glenn Beck a little credit for nudging me to learn more about Thomas Woodrow Wilson but only a little. In this biography
1, I found out that Wilson vetoed the Volstead Act (Prohibition, a Progressive movement)) and refused to even hear petitions for a pardon of American socialist Eugene Debs because he considered Debs to be a traitor.
UPDATE: I found a little more near the end of v. II. On page 414, Walworth quotes Wilson on Karl Marx:
"I know of no man who has more perverted the thinking of the world."
