Don't Trust Government? Maddow Guest Blames . . . Mr. T!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Are you one of them small-gubmint conservative weirdos? A critter who cringes when someone tells you they're from the government and there to help you? Well, answer this: are you, or have you ever been . . . a fan of The A-Team?

Because, yes: one of Rachel Maddow's guests has, with a straight face, advanced the argument that Mr. T and company were complicit in undermining Americans' belief in the benign powers of government. David Sirota made an appearance with Maddow on her MSNBC show this evening to promote his book that advances the A-List-as-enemy-of-government-love theory.

For a show with a lot of bullets flying around, no one ever got killed. It must have been a government conspiracy....

That you can't rely on the government. You have to rely on outsiders, you have to rely on the Blackwaters, the Halliburtons, to solve our society's problems.

Wow! a Halliburton reference! In all the "blame Bush" rhetoric coming from the left I havent heard a Halliburton reference in a while. I was beginning to miss them.

There’s an A-Team ping list??????? If so, I MUST be on it! I found 100 episodes on Netflix over the weekend and much to my wife’s chagrin I’ve been watching them at every opportunity since then!

All I can say is... "I love it when a plan comes together!"

Not to mention the special grenades which only seem to catapult the bad guys through the air instead of having any real fragmentation or blast effects.

But, but, but, obama took a Haliburton executive with him to Brazil. Is it the same Haliburton?

Would it not have been so much better if instead of catapulting bad guys through the air, they just catapulted a bad guys arm or leg through the air. With a bloody tendon hanging on the end every now and again..

I thought it was the Woodstock generation that undermined our faith in the government. But, oops, a lot of them are now in the government.

I blame it on Gilligan’s Island.

The thought of being marooned on a tropical island with MaryAnn and Ginger zapped the will of ordinary men to continue on with their dreary lives.

Just wondering, how come neither of them ever got pregnant?

Proffessor too busy tinkering?
Captain from the ole British school of sailing?

Thurston didn’t have a steady supply of his ED medicine?

Gilligan, nuff said.

Hey Maddow Don’t forget The Dukes of Hazard, that show taught me that all public officials are overweight, well dressed southerners who constantly are working on crooked, yet harebrained and zany schemes to steal family farms. Also, if law enforcement is pursuing me, and I manage to evade capture, preferably by jumping my car over some well placed road construction then, under the “Southern Gentleman’s Amendment” to the constitution, all pending charges must be dropped and law enforcement can not arrest me at any time in the future for the offense I was being pursued for, this also applies to breaking out of jail or tricking a dimwitted arresting officer. Also, if I am ever captured and convicted of a crime, I lose my rights to own a gun, yet the law guarantees even convicted felons the right to use high explosives attached to arrows.
