Yes, that irks me too - why not focus on the message rather than messenger, after all that's what we consume, right? Why idolize someone just because they said a few good things or demonize someone because they got a few things wrong?
Human mind has a tendency to attach to things, both tangible and non-tangible. Once the attachment is made it becomes "my asset" (things, thoughts, emotions, opinions) and after that letting go is very difficult - people have fought wars on defending that attachment and killed billions through history!!
True freedom comes not from killing everyone who opposes certain view points, it comes from ability to let go of the attachments.
