He got political, so if your against his politics you hate him because no one separates the art from the artist anymore. He was never really much more than a B list TV actor anyway so most people just don't even care.
It's completely ok to say "I really liked the thing, but I just can't watch it because I can only see the actor behind the character". If I found out someone punched puppies in their spare time, I would find it really hard to enjoy the things they are in. I don't think it has to be any different with an actor who's political stance you are vehemently against.
Honestly, the only reason I watched it despite knowing about Sorbo is that he's just so damn goofy that I can't take him seriously. It's not like he actually can affect anything. Mostly he just makes shitty Christian movies. I don't know, it somehow feels different from Kirk Cameron. Cameron feels like he's preying on people. Sorbo just sounds like a doofus. He's like the MyPillow guy of actors.
