Didn't realize not everybody had seen this.
Fred Rogers, who we know as Mister Rogers, in front of the U.S. Senate defending the budget of PBS and asking that it not be done away with.
Most know this but this dude was truly the epitome of a great man.
Not eBaums but still good.

Sometimes it's hard to believe he was a sniper in Korea with over 300 confirmed commie kills.

A popular form of humor-cum-legend is to float a rumor that some mild-mannered, physically unimposing celebrity (such as John Denver or Don Knotts) not only served in the military, but held a position particularly known for requiring toughness and extreme mental and physical fortitude, such as a Navy SEAL, an Army Green Beret, a Marine Corps drill instructor, or an armed services sniper. Fred Rogers has also been the subject of such rumors, all of them false.
Not only did Fred Rogers never serve in the military, there are no gaps in his career when he could conceivably have done so. He went straight into college after high school, he moved directly into TV work after graduating college, and his breaks from television work were devoted to attending the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (he was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1963) and the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Child Development. Moreover, Fred Rogers was born in 1928 and was therefore far too old to have been a draftee during the period of America's military involvement in the Vietnam ground war (1965-72) and too established in his career at that point to have run off to enlist.
I was upset when I found out it wasn't true.

Why again should we all pay for a liberal propaganda TV station and public radio stations? Is this really a good use of our money?

What's wrong with liberals? And yes we should pay for it.

His speech at the academy awards where he made a bunch of celebrities cry was one of the most awesome moments of live tv

Mr. Rogers was the shite.

Let them sell ad time. Free market FTW!

Stacked, the thread should read: Mr. Rogers was better than you and me. Sorry, that's one of my pet peeves. I'm not being a grammar Nazi. I promise.
I don't think it's liberal propaganda but I do agree that PBS should not be funded by government funds. Of course, I could make a very long list of programs that shouldn't get taxpayer monies.

Captian Kangaroo was the other Urban Legend that supposedly earned the Naval Cross in Iwo Jima, but he never left stateside IRL IIRC..
