That's exactly the point. No-one is making a hero out of her - just criticizing the attacks on her, which are over egged to a burnt crisp. So much so as to obscure the issues under the fog of flak.
Right wing? It's you who has used the technique of exaggeration to sting a response from 'defenders', who you have then accused of hero-worshipping. Remember when ordinary people who didn't want a war became Saddam-lovers? Same technique. And just like here, any underlying issues were obscured.
