    Also the part where fox literally called him an evil man. If you’re opposing Fred fucking neighborly Rogers, you’re on the wrong side of history

        Fascinating. I have never seen a fox and friends segment before, and listening to it I honestly couldn’t guess when this aired except it was after his passing in 2003. It’s interesting that so many of them were laughing when someone called him evil though. Gives off this feeling they don’t even believe it themselves but it was just their improv, Whose Line is it Anyway prompt.

        Oh and the irony of a bunch of evil people calling the nation’s most wholesome public figure evil.

        Bob Ross was a drill sergeant before his show, I’m pretty sure he and Fred would agree on denouncing nazis. Mean words are the least they deserve

          IIRC Mr. Rogers was a marine, or something like that. Yeah, they were both fine with fighting for what’s right. They would just prefer kindness win out before any fighting is required.

            It’s an urban myth, conflated with Bob. Bob was a USAF round brown for years, Fred signed up but was disqualified due to eyesight so same generation and intent.

            Both would prefer talking to war. Anyone who’s been to war will tell you talking is better.

            Except nazis. You fucking demolish them from the earth with flame
