Nov 10, 2009 - I was trying to think if there was any childrens televison now besides Sesame Street that still had actual people hosting them? I think Fred Rogers made it very personable to each viewer. Very one on one. I think we need more of that today.

Nov 10, 2009 - I wish Mister Rogers had run for president. Maybe our country wouldn't be in such sad shape today.

Nov 13, 2009 - Thank god for recorded video and audio, I can relive a time when things werent so empty and petty as today.

Nov 13, 2009 - you guys do know mr Fred Rogers was a sniper in the military and infact did eliminate enemy combattants.

RiceLUMFAO Says:

Nov 14, 2009 - Ridiculous, it's an urban legend.

Jinggley Says:

Nov 14, 2009 - I dunno if Pastore felt defeated or ashamed in just so much as giving a healthy dose of perspective. He's obviously a good man with the best intentions for the nation in heart; it just becomes easy to lose sight of that loyalty and duty in the face of such big politics. I don't think of it as assault with emotion; it was just naked honest humanism. It's what Rogers offered to the world. Pastore was presented with an honest and simply made case. Not many politicians get that, then or now.

Nov 14, 2009 - I'm sorry but did that guy just INTERRUPT Mr. Rogers?!

Nov 15, 2009 - I believe it would be a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Nov 17, 2009 - The clarion call of politics is "money." Today, nobody cares about anything but how much it costs. Pastore just wanted to cut the $20 million in half -- imagine what would happen today, without someone like Mr. Rogers; it'd get slashed to zero. We need to show this to the Senate the next time they convene.

Nov 17, 2009 - Mister Rogers is a saint but he does a have a creepy vibe.

beybladera Says:

Nov 17, 2009 - LOL this is my first time watching this video! Senator Pastore is my grandfather's cousin, so he is related to me (I am a Pastore also)

kipemens Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - untrue. he went to college, became a minster and did 50 years of broadcast un interrupted. urban legend. few years he was a sniper, next few years he was a navy seal. all rumors.

Nov 20, 2009 - i adore this.

tom1993rox Says:

Nov 20, 2009 - Oh FUCK NO! I'm sorry but this is war now. When Mister Rogers has the floor, YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!!!

sigu655 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - This guy was the closest thing to Jesus. God bless this man. He really was a saint.

Zatki Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - Mr Rogers told kids that they are special and important just the way they are. Now Disney tells kids You have to be slutty and covered in glitter and caked on makeup to have any worth. But more importantly Rogers was teaching us about REAL LIFE. Shows about jobs and family life, and then a section on make believe that he clearly said was Make Believe. Kids stuff today is just like...a bad acid trip or something. It entertains but doesn't TEACH. Long story short: Rogers did both.

MANSHOTS Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - @Zatki some people internalize fear, like mr. rogers, some people externalize fear like today's disney

scar104 Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - When a motha interrupts Mr. Rogers, then all da bros in da hood gonna be coming over fo little "visit," in the near future. You don't mess with Rogers.

wisdumcube Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - Mr. Rogers could disarm any man without lifting a finger. What a truly remarkable person.

speiserman Says:

Nov 23, 2009 - WOW.

jview77 Says:

Nov 25, 2009 - Mr. Rogers was the truth. There will never be another one like him. The back of my hand gets itchy when someone disrespects Mr. Rogers.
