Mr. Rogers gave aid and comfort to homosexuals. He was a man who preached tolerance of all sorts of people in ways that directly contradicted the Bible. His syrupy teachings led millions astray. He was a wuss and he was an enabler of wusses.

Mr Rogers, apart from the guy who taught me English when I came to Ireland first time at 8(I loved to watch his program) was a Presbiterian pastor and NEVER gave specific support to homosexuals. Moreover, who feasted and ate with all sort of sinners?, JESUS. Yes, that is the guy who preached tolerance, that you say that it contradicts the Bible. Depends, apparently, which part of the Bible are you using.
Fred Phelps - Prophet. The man who knows the mind of his god.
His god is a god of hate and perversion. Says a lot about the man who worships that god, doesn't it?
My view, in any other country he would peacefully live out his remaining days in a padded cell. O Land of the Free, I sometimes despair of you!
Question, is it responsible to allow fruitcakes to have the freedom of the streets?
Yeah, I loved that guy. Remember his cardigans and his fish? :D
By the way, Phelps, heard you lost in court and now owe millions. Sorry about that. Oh wait, no I'm not.
Sheesh! Some people are as gullible as the fundies they deplore. Mr. Rogers was NOT a former sniper, marine or criminal .

All those rumors you've heard about Phelps sacrificing babies and drinking their blood are true, however.
Hey, Fred: you're a screeching hateful coward, and an enabler of screeching hateful cowards.
Suck on that for a while.
"If Phelps brings his caravan of hate to town, there would be no greater tribute to Mr. Rogers than to treat those poor devils as he would've: Give them a neighborly smile. Trust me, it will be like pouring live coals on their heads."
Brillant.
Between Mr.Rogers and Bill Nye, many kids our age grew into pretty decent, rational beings.
'course that's probably why you've got a problem with it... People aren't supposed to simply BE homosexual.
They're supposed to either join the clergy, or get elected, and THEN, and ONLY THEN, have they the right to practice the orientation they were born with. Otherwise it wouldn't be special at all!
Mr. Rogers = WUSS ENABLER
I think that's the first time I've ever heard anyone criticize Mr. Rogers. Way to go Fred Phelps, you are the ultimate asshole. If there was a platonic ideal for "asshole" it would be you. You are the perfect asshole.
He gave aid and comfort to a lot of people.
Fred Phelps is so emotionally crippled that he is wholly incapable of relating to other human beings save through fear, hate, and malicious pleasure in the suffering of others. He cannot comprehend those who can, and despises them on general principles. So it's natural that he'd hate Mr. Rogers.
You, sir, are a pathetic, heartless vulture. Please, for the love of all that is good, shut up.
Jesus preached tolerance and give aid to the worst of sinners?
Wait a minute, that would mean that your calling your own god a wuss!
So, wait - "tolerance of all sorts of people" (we salvaged what we could from the smouldering wreck of that sentence) is a bad thing, just because it "directly contradicts the Bible"?
The same Bible that preaches equality throughout...?
Fred Phelps is one of the very very few people in this world that I would happily dismember without the slightest bit of hesitation should we ever cross paths. As a dirty, Godless atheist, I don't have to adhere to the good Christian morals he so rigorously upholds.
Yes. Mr. Rogers was a horrible human being. Instead of telling little children that god hates them, that they'll burn forever in hell, that angels will rejoice to their screams, he did the horrible act of befriending them.
A sick, sick human being.
As for you Fred, I'm sure there's a fire out there just waiting for you to die in it.
So, in addition to hating gay people, Jews, Catholics, Canada, Sweden, the American military and Disney, Phelps hates Mr. Rogers? Isn't there anything he approves of?
Oh wait, I just realized, approving of things does not get him publicity.
If Mister Rogers had been Catholic rather than Presbyterian, he'd probably be right behind Mother Teresa on the "going to be a saint someday" list.
The man taught at least two generations of kids some of the most basic virtues imaginable. After my family and a few teachers, Mr. Rogers, Jim Henson, and Captain Kangaroo, rest alll of their souls, are the key people responsible for the man I am today, and I think I turned out pretty well. They taught me kindness, decency, a love of reading, the value of education, and the importance of imagination.
So, I hope that, wherever they are, they'll forgive me for this, because I know they wouldn't approve of this language. Fred Phelps, go fuck yourself.
>>Mister Spak
Mister Rogers was a marine. He could kick your ass on both cheeks at the same time.<<
No, he was not. He never served in the military:

That said, he got plenty of exercise and was fairly tall, so he probably could have kicked ass if he wanted to. However, it would seem to be impossible for there to be any time when he would have wanted to.
And Phelps really doesn't know when to stop, does he?
Yeah, because we all remember fondly the verses in the Bible where Jesus berates all the wusses who treat other people like they would like to be treated! [/sarcasm]
I don't know who Mr Rogers is/was, but giving aid and comfort to your fellow humans sounds like something Jesus would have done.
OK, now I've googled him. Perhaps it's the following quote that makes him a "wuss"?
"he gave a now-famous speech before the U.S. Senate, advocating government funding for children's television rather than the Vietnam War."
Wanting to educate children instead of killing Viet Congs? What a morally corrupt idea!
Noooo! Mr. Rogers!!!
You must truly be crazy if you think an amiable, sweater-wearing old man is a God-hating infidel. Yeah, I know he didn't say it, but that's what he's implying.
Someone eternally burning in Hell.
And Mr. Rogers.
What was that Freddy-boy: before you were disowned by the rest of the Phelps/WBC clan...?!
So you wanted tolerance when that happened to you: at the end ...?!
Whistle - or scream - for it, wuss .
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
