Are you sick of celebrities for being political?

Often times, it is typical to hear people saying that entertainers should stay out of politics. Madonna was booed in Romania when she stood up against discriminating Gypsies and homosexuals. Dixie chicks were told to shut up about the war on Iraq.

I may be bias, as I am a fan of Madonna, I love some of her music and I also love that she is always opinionated and political. There is nothing wrong with using her popularity to spread her message, if people don’t like it, then don’t go to her shows or listen to her. People who accuse celebrities of being ignorant or self centred and therefore have no rights to say political things are at best, illogical, at worse, tyrannical.
