    Seriously? Rosie, you’ve taken your Chicken Little act around the bend here. Why are you throwing shade on this man’s legacy? 

    Fred Rogers has been dead for 15 years. He was a good, gentle man, and all he did was live an exemplary life.

    Your premise here is disingenuous and ridiculous. Who’s next on your smear list, Capt Kangaroo? You have to be better than this. Shame on you. This post was edited by Don Barzini at February 8, 2018 8:40 PM MST

    Do you ALWAYS take things at face value? Do you NEVER look beneath the surface? Are you always satisfied with the tip of the iceberg and evaluate it alone totally ignorant and disinterested and unconcerned of what lies below? I am disappointed in you bigly and hugely. Irrevocably. Shame on YOU. Instead of asking (since you clearly did not understand my question) you ASSUMED you knew and attacked based on your incorrect assumptions.  That is never OKAY. For your information Fred Rogers was revered in our home when my son was growing up. There were many people who took jabs at him and insulted him and made him seem to be an irrelevent clown. What he was? He was a kind and gentle man who talked to children in words they could understand and made them feel good about themselves and safe. He was a treasure and I am very happy to see that he has been recognized for the value he brought  to the world. Now as to you? Boy when you're wrong you sure are wrong. SIGH. I can't thank you for a response that is outrageous so I won't. I' m not even gonna wish a happy day because frankly m'dear I don't give a dam*. You didn't even give me the courtesy to explain. You didn't care. You ASSUMED the worst. :(

    Nonsense. You asked, “How big a bribe did he hafta [sic] pay?”. How is one to interpret that other than how it is worded.  Perhaps in the context of your mind it means something else. Otherwise, it is an empty allegation. Yet another in your daily litany of such smarmy screeds. 

    The real wrong in this is, as always, your untiring insistence on spewing bile at the world. There are way too many bitter, toxic people in this world whose self worth is predicated on bringing others down. How can we say you aren’t among them? 

    You should, instead, be wildly thankful that anyone at all bothers to reply to you in any fashion, say “Thank you”, and toddle on your way. This post was edited by Don Barzini at February 9, 2018 11:58 AM MST
