Aubrey O'Day (@AubreyODay) August 31, 2012@seanhannity @michellemalkin @KarlRove Unbelievable twitter trend of hate for BeBe Winans for singing at the RNC #whatashame—

Musicians gotta make a living. Performing at a GOP function, however, is apparently the eighth deadly sin of the entertainment industry. Gospel singer BeBe Winans, a registered Democrat, sang tonight as part of an unpaid gig. He would’ve performed at the DNC, too, but for some unknown reason, they pulled their invitation.
The singer received a tsunami of Twitter spewage for his appearance and misinformed criticism for being a sellout. Talent is supposed to transcend partisanship. Not for the conformity-enforcing Left, unfortunately:
BeBe Winans let them play his arse for a sucka! they gives a fcuk about you. they used you as a pawn for some black votes! #RNC #RNC2012—

I laughed so hard at someone calling Bebe Winans a 'house negro.' I know, that's so wrong, but it's so funny.—

BeBe Winans, a registered Democrat, did NOT get paid for tonight's performance at the RNC.—

Dear Bebe Winans, tonight you've been singing about America for an audience that doesn't think you should be a part of it. Just so you know!—

Um, Bebe is a man, hater:
Bebe Winans will learn, just like I did, that to whites, especially conservatives, she's still just a nigger #RNC—

The contemptible #negrospotting hashtag appeared, of course:
Correction: Its Bebe Winans and he should be ashamed of himself! #RomneyRyan2012 #NegroSpotting #detroit—

BeBe Winan's choir just blew up the #negrospotting total.—

One glimmer of decency:
Ya'll leave BeBe Winans alone. He's making his paper. And more importantly bringing Jesus all up and thru the RNC. Glory be to God.—

Amen!
Correction: In an earlier version of this post, we misspelled BeBe’s name. It’s BeBe not Bebe. Apologies!
