[Stern21]

What a condescending voice and delivery.

2. RoGers

n/t.

4. Hey, don't diss Mr. Rogers!

He's my hero. :-)

[blonndee]

5. Please, don't compare this ignorant, evil f**k to Mr. Rogers.

[demobabe]

6. Mr. Rogers was a Saint

A magic man. A true peace-loving minister, who'd never harm anybody, ever. John McCain isn't a millionth of the man Mr. Rogers was.

7. HEY!!!!

Respect Mr. Rogers, please.

By all accounts he was as sweet and gentle in real life as he was on TV.

And the last thing in the world he was was condescending. He was just kind and understanding.

(Sorry to overreact... but I really love Mr. Rogers. :loveya:)

[mamalone]

18. Me too...

My kids and I wrote him a letter and he sent us back a long personal reply which we treasure to this day. He was an amazing man:loveya:

[renate]

19. oh my gosh... he did?

What a sweetheart!

Just knowing that a man like him was here among us makes me feel good about humanity, especially at times like this week when lies and meanspiritedness are on view any time I turn on the TV.

Thanks for that lovely little detail about that wonderful man!

[CatBO]

DO NOT....

INsult Mr. Rogers.

Mr. Roger's poo was worth ten times this jerk.

Damn.... Dude taught me to tie my shoes. Lay off Mr. Rogers.

[AlinPA]

8. Lay off Mr. Rogers.

[BrklynLiberal]

9. That is a terrible insult to a kind and gentle man who was loved by millions

of children...and some of their parents.

[Bluerthanblue]
