I agree. If you have a problem with Franken, there is a better way of releasing your feelings.
I have noticed a similar thing in a different venue.
I was browsing books on Amazon and reading the "reviews" that people who "read" the book submitted. I can only speak for the books that I perused (conservative: politics and economics) but they had similar things in the "reviews".
The "reviews" were just nasty slams and attacks at the author(s) by people who obviously hadn't read the book. They were just using the "review" section of the book to herald their own political views.
Both methods of attacking the person and content make the person and his argument look worse.
For User Name, it re-affirms his opinions about the book and it leads him to believe that the opposition are idiots.
For me it does the same thing. By acting this way they only make me feel better about my views and beliefs.
