Hannity Guest Kevin Sorbo Says He’s "Tired Of The Race Card" Then Suggests Black Voters Are Racist
On The Great American Panel segment of Hannity tonight, the discussion turned to accusations of racism in the Tea Party. Actor Kevin Sorbo sneered, "I get so tired of the race card. It’s a crutch that’s been going on for a long, long time." But in his very next sentence, Sorbo used the very crutch he was complaining about in others. "And if you have 97% of the black population voted for Obama, is that kind of not a racist vote in itself? I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong."

In other words, he’s tired of the race card unless it’s played against American blacks.

Do you think Sean Hannity objected? Heck no. This is the same guy who didn’t mind when another guest announced that "most blacks" in Tennessee "are so racist… they always use racism in order to intimidate white America."

Hannity chimed in, "If America was racist, you had a lot of white people who voted for Barack Obama."

It’s pretty clear that in Hannity’s America, the biggest victims of racism are white.

1. Yet more evidence that Hollywood isn't "liberal".
Our Corporate Controlled Conservative Press loves to constantly beat the "Hollywood is Liberal" drum. The truth is that the majority of Hollywood is right of center. Sorbo is just another one of the typical Republicans that populate the entertainment industry.

4. Well, there goes my respect for Sorbo.
I've always known he was a little bit of a ditz and a rightwinger - it was just a gut feeling, but don't ask me why I got it - but now he's simply confirmed it, I'm no longer a fan of his.

There's a reason Sam Raimi never worked with him again after "Hercules" fizzled out.

7. So "Hercules" is all racist buddy-buddy with Hanutty?

Can't we just feed them both to the Kracken?

10. Alot of white people DID vote for Barack Obama
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Race_and_ethnicity

I mean if only black people voted for Obama and no one else, He would have lost in a landslide that would have made Walter Mondale look like a successful candidate.

11. Yes, but in their world, we only voted of B.O. to prove we're NOT racist.
That, and white guilt. And Affirmative action.

It's an argument we'll never win. Their minds are made up and set in stone.
