I think there needs to be more enthusiasm for Nietzsche.
Having now finished "Twilight of the Idols" and even read some Wendy Brown on Nietzsche and democracy (I also read her book about tolerance), I find I like old Fred. Bit bizzare sometimes, but I like the way he rages against conformity and the herd mentality.
He shakes you up as you read him and you cannot rest comfortably in any belief system -- there needs to be contestation from moment to moment and nanosecond to nanosecond.
I can see where he would upset party-line types who want people to goosestep to whatever tune they have choosen to whistle that day. Be an individual, but realize that that individuality is created every moment so there is nothing permanent about it -- a person needs to be always reinventing herself (very Buddhist in a way).
