Nice group of people those Rockafeathers <g> In the Hot Seat: Rockefeller Testifies on Ludlow The violent labor struggles of the early 20th century engendered concern at all levels of society and led to the appointment of a federal Commission on Industrial Relations in early 1913. Headed by Kansas City lawyer-reformer Frank Walsh, the commission was in the midst of taking testimony from owners, workers, and reformers in dozens of industrial communities around the country when the southern Colorado coal strike erupted late in 1913. The killing of three women and eleven children at a mining encampment in Ludlow, Colorado, on Easter night, 1914, sent shock waves across the country. After the “Ludlow massacre,” as it came to be known, the commission held public hearings in Colorado where they heard horror stories about the brutality and rapacity of the Rockefeller-owned Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, the region’s largest operator of coal mines. These articles from the New York Times described the testimony of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., before the commission, where he denied any knowledge of his company’s brutal actions against the Ludlow strikers. historymatters.gmu.edu

To the Left, "There is no imminent threat" = "There is an imminent threat." Sen. Rockefeller's incredible arrogance and shows when he said, "I was there and I heard the speech very close...", then attempts to paint the words to mean exactly the opposite of what President Bush said. We all heard the same words on national t.v., and we've heard them replayed. Does Sen. Rockefeller really want us to believe that the words we heard, which are undisputed, had a different meaning to some of those present (curiously, to the Left, but not others)? LOL Who are these jokers trying to kid, other than themselves and each other? Then, they can't understand why they have lost every branch of government at the federal and most state levels, and call the rest of us idiots?
