@mgbino: Nothing new here - the fan-base are seldom able to acknowledge when their idols appears to have glaring faults.
An classic example of this is Woody Goldbergs "rape-rape" comment. We can also take a look at TV host Jimmy Savile. He couldn't have gotten so far without his fanbase.
I once criticized that The Pirate Bay hosted "somewhat-legal" child porn torrents. Their users were enraged ... at me for criticizing their belowed site.
There's also the serial rapist Assange, whose insane defence is accepted by his fans.
