To me it's no worse than going to see the Dixie Chicks or Charlie Daniels(I don't care for country music just using them as an example). I'm not paying to hear their political views. I'm paying to be entertained.

The concept that an entertainer shouldn't give their political viewpoint because you're simply there for entertainment is weak.
Why is there even a distinction between what is entertainment and what is a political opinion?
The entertainment that the Dixie Chicks or Charlie Daniels or Halx's co-worker provide includes political opinion. If you don't like the opinion or the expression of the opinion, it is likely that you are no longer being entertained and should consider looking elsewhere for your entertainment. That doesn't make it the fault of the entertainer unless they feel their opinions are driving away too many consumers of their entertainment.
