you can't put a price on sparks
he was in Gods Not Dead. sequel is Racism is Not Dead
You're not in his head though. How can you tell where his own inner held views stop and where the foxnews/conservative propaganda begins? To say he you think he's not racist is presumptuous. And especially in 2014 you should know better so I'm not giving him any benefit of the doubt nor should anyone else.

I know Hercules wasn't a real person or anything like that, but you would think Sorbo would have learned a thing or two after all those years of working on the show.
Disappointed.
The mythical Hercules had some pretty severe rage and impulse control issues.
This is particular funny. I mean at least he's making money being the biggest hypocrite ever. You are on a radio show complaining about a group of people... After making an entire movie complaining about that group of people... Mocking that group of people for how much time they allegedly spend complaining?
he very well could be racist. i don't know. but the average right winger sees black unemployment up since obama took office, of course they're going cling to the "fact" that their voting for somebody making things worse for them. it's not true because the global financial meltdown caused this, obvs. but like i said that's just something they see as fact and i don't see any racism in that per se... you could turn it around as "why do poor white working class voters vote for rich white people wanting to raise their taxes" or anything else
First off, there is no record of anyone handing over Jesus to the Romans, either Roman or Jewish. There is also no contemporary record of Jesus himself, nor his trial, nor his execution. Now regardless of what you believe happened, it's probably not a good idea to condemn an entire society, a culture based on the alleged actions of an at least partially fictional scenario.
Secondly, I don't think Kevin Sorbo understands the chronological order of "last" as movies like The Beaver and Expendables 3 remind us.

Well, despite all that I still like Hercules. His role has given me hours of entertainment that have nothing to do with his real personality.

If he's gonna claim that "you (Jews) did kill Jesus" and put the responsibility of that event onto an entire group of people, I wonder if he himself is willing to also burden himself with the responsibility of all the historical wrongdoings of whatever groups/labels of people he identifies with.
omg this thread... and his twitter.. omg...
I always liked Xena better anyway. It was the superior show with better action, stories, and humor.

I'm willing to forgive a comment or two from celebrities, they are human after all with personal beliefs and ideologies like the rest of us. But the volume at which he's publicly posting this crap is off-putting.

Everybody here "liked Xena more anyway..."
I wonder if Lawless posted stuff like that (i know she never will), if people would claim they liked Hercules more.
I've noticed this happen sometimes.

Xena was always more popular.
Sure, it's possible. People turning out to be shitheads sometimes makes me retroactively like their stuff less, or taints my memories of them.
But I mean. There are some obvious reasons people liked Xena more.

For sure, but did NOONE like Hercules more? It's kinda weird.

Yea, the majority did prefer Xena and for good reason.
I just find it peculiar that we all like stuff and have no idea if their creator/actor is an asshole, but the moment we learn about it we instantly "dislike" their every single thing.
Personally I cannot understand it (but know that other people feel like this) It is a bit bipolar.

I remember watching Hercules because I liked it and when they introduced the Xena charactrr I thought she was really cool. Eventually the Xena series started being broadcast and I found myself being drawn towards that series more than Hercules. It probably didn't help that my local TV station started shifting Hercules to weirder time slots or showing it really late. It was probably due to Xena being more popular but then again that channels has a habit of putting later seasons of Tv series at odd timings. Like having new episodes of Buffy shown at 1 am, two years after they were broadcasted in the US.
Xena managed to draw me in more than Hercules. Hercules was also getting boring by the time Xena started airing here.
20 years too late for that statement.

It's funny because Kevin Sorbo is more relevant for being a
I'm sure he'll do just fine playing to that crowd.

It really is. If you're a naturally hateful person like I can only imagine most conservatives are, learning to ignore the things you hate needs to become an essential life strategy if you don't want to die of a heart attack.
Not at all. He will get many more crazy right wing movies because of this.
The exclamation point tells me you know precisely what to make of Josephus.

Well . . . Mr. Sorbo has apparently remedied that problem by getting his anger and hatred of blacks, atheists, and Jews out in the open. It is no longer secret.

The irony here is that I'd always read Andromeda was partly fucked up by Sorbo. The claim was after the first season he felt he knew where the story should go, and that Dylan Hunt needed to be an unimpeachable hero. Whereas the original premise would have it that Dylan was delusional, and would suffer some falls along the way on his quest. After they got rid of the original showrunner, it was all downhill.

Well . . . not a lot of money in that. But then again, perhaps that was all that was left in his acting career so he's embraced it fully.
Yep. He is gone for good. Hope he comes a little bit to senses.

Yeah I recall hearing the same thing. First two seasons were solid as was half of S3, or select episodes of it, but after that it went downhill. Even knowing that he's a bit difficult as an actor, it's still disappointing to learn that Sorbo is an ultra-conservative and seemingly is rather racist in some of his world views.
You know.. I find it kind of annoying that certain christians blame jews for killing Jesus. I mean...from what I read from the bible, wasn't Jesus always supposed to die on the cross? His death was supposed to be the sacrifice to cleanse humanity of their sins?
Idk, just a weird thought.

Me?
Yes you! It's quite a short story (and written in typically dry Borgesian style), and explores the question you raise in a mind-blowing way.

It becomes like a time-travel movie paradox. Well if the Jews behaved the way you supposedly wanted them to behave then there would be no crucifixion and hence no salvation! So they HAD to play their part (if that was their part) for everything to work out. So what are you mad about?
Will do, thanks!
Not mad, just weirded out because they knew it was supposed to happen for their salvation.

If Hollywood really is run by The Jews he's kinda going about it the wrong way, isn't he?
