For actor Tim Allen, who has been known for voicing conservative views in the past, a recent Christmas-themed episode of his current sitcom must have been as much fun to make as it was to view. Allen plays Mike Baxter in the ABC comedy Last Man Standing. Allen has occasionally gotten himself into hot water with ABC over remarks on the show that compare President Obama to a communist. In the most recent episode, Gift of the Wise Man, Allen talks to his grandson, Boyd, about his favorite Christmas gift as a kid. The gift was lawn darts, which, he recalls, left “a lot of scars.” – “They don’t sell them anymore. You can’t find them. The nanny state made them illegal,” Baxter says. “Stupid nanny state ruined Christmas,” Boyd replies. Then as family members gather to discuss a family meeting, Allen’s character gets one more dig in at Obama. “Sit! This is not a democracy. Ugh. I started sounding like King Obama there for a minute, didn’t I?” he said.
Allen has been quite happy to revel in the political aspect of his sitcom.
“We are going to drill Hillary,” he said in an interview before the fall season began.
