I've got to say that I'm not about to lose any sleep over people making fun of him, the man's an abusive manipulator, the fact that he's also a total hack and an idiot are pretty much arbitrary, he's lucky if people focus on those minor aspects.
There's a reason people stick to the hooks and barbs they can get an easy grip on though, you'll see it every time a story breaks, people as a whole find it much easier to judge someone over something they can digest, if they're lazy, or fat, or they have a stupid name, or any number of minor (even imagined) slights.
Saying "god, he's so fat and stupid" (or something along those lines) is a lot easier to say than "god, he's a rapist" or "god, he's a paedophile", and it's a healthy reaction, even in situations where there are people running full on child pornography rings and there is absolutely no hint of a grey area, most of the jibes and taunting will be childish jokes about how stupid they are.
If you ask me I think it's because it's easier to manufacture or cling to childish reasons to hate someone, some things just go beyond hate, where you have no frame of reference to tell you how it should make you feel.
That's just my take on it, if I'm honest even having more experience than I'd like with these things, I don't have a guaranteed answer.
