I think people got caught up on someone "hitting back" and didn't realize that while hitting back can be good, you shouldn't just suspend rational thought and deify the person hitting back at a perceived enemy. Same thing happened with Steve Schmidt. People were super quick to think that Schmidt was the "most courageous and best person" until he showed his core by supporting a wealthy fool in running for president because he was a "centrist".
