No, AB was just a silly leftist strawman argument used to ridicule conservative thinking. While there's a few exceptions, the Hank character's conservative tendencies are generally shown in a good light.
My recollections of the All in the Family show are very vivid and they are these .... in the early shows Archie came off as good hearted, if out of step, curmudgeon, and was generally well liked and related to as the slightly off track but albeit still loved neighbor or relative.
When Norman Lear and his minions recognized this they hurriedly altered Archie's personality to the nasty, hard edged, dim wit that could be appropriately scorned (as they had planned).
