What happens when...
You are in the entertainment business, scratch that, when you are a Latino in the entertainment business and you come out and speak in favor of a Republican candidate? Well you get raked over the coals. You see Democrats don't like their subjects to wander too far from the reservation.
Daddy Yankee, a reggaeton artist, came out yesterday in favor of John McCain and it seems that he's taking a beating for it among some in the Latino entertainment industry and from other quarters.
Ah, the hypocrisy of Hollywood. We're supposed to separate the art from the artist when it's one of those America-hating leftists.
You can lend Daddy Yankee some support by logging on to the live chat that Univision is hosting at 7:00 PM eastern.

The American entertainment industry/community ... Far more predictable than the weather.
That's some 'big tent' they have ...

Who's specifically is bashing him for his support of McCain?

I'm not sure who in the Latino entertainment industry is bashing Daddy "Gasolina" Yankee, but Michelle Malkin is bashing McCain for his pandering and "going Hollywood," the same thing Republicans take Obama to task for time after time.

yep. As soon as I heard he was backing McCain, I knew D. Yankee was in for it. Although, it's surprising that Yankee is backing a republican--never would've expected it judging from the line of work he's in. Cool though.
