A point that you'd already made about 3 times and had already been responded to. Meat Loaf has a history of doing things differently than other artists. He has a history of not using his fame for political motives. This has changed, he has publicly endorsed a candidate and publicly endorsed the views that go along with that, and so people feel it is worthy of comment. Posting links to Wikipedia lists of other celebrities who have endorsed other candidates is redundant. Resorting to weak insults doesn't help either.
If Meat decided to release his own range of condoms and coffins and do his own scripted fly-on-the-wall reality show you could say 'Gene Simmons did that too, I wonder if Gene Simmons gets crap from KISS fans because blah blah blah...'
Your point seems to be 'other people do it, so it's okay for Meat Loaf to do it'. Well, it doesn't mean that he should, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't feel it's a bad decision and it doesn't mean that we can't have an opinion when he changes the way he's been handling his politics for 40 years.
