They vilify Mr. Rogers and promote Oliver North. :rolleyes:

What assholes.

These replies make me sad. I'm not even going to click the link. I don't want to feel ikky :(

Mr. Rogers was awesome.

Awesome enough to impregnate Mia Farrow with the SON OF SATAN, that is. :D

Here's a nice dose of reality to wash that awful Fox taste out.

The only people who would think this of Mr. Rogers are bumper-sticker-philosophers who can only think in soundbites and catch phrases. Sure, if you look at nothing more than his one line, "You're special, just the way you are," it might be interpreted to promote what they claim. But if you have an attention span longer than a flee and actually watch the show, you might actually learn something and see that Mr. Rogers preached the most unselfish values in the history of man.

Asses.

Ironically, the vast majority of the audience for this nonsense probably goes to church every Sunday to celebrate their salvation through grace rather than good works.

Thank God that, having been born into the Chosen People, I was not brought up with such sh*t.

Even more ironically, wasn't he a minister?

Morrigoon 07-13-2007 08:58 AM

I had to turn it off... I can't believe they really actually said he was evil!

I need to watch the senate hearing again to get my happy back...

I never liked Mr. Rogers when I was a kid, but this is silly.

NPR, though, also mentioned this article the other day so they too have slandered Mr. Rogers. Apparently he is getting it from both the left and the right.

This is vile. Those people have no decency whatsoever.

Yes, he was.

Rogers, however, was not interested in preaching, and after his ordination as a Presbyterian minister in 1962, he was specifically charged to continue his work with children's TV.
