contrib.comments.views.comments.post_comment should check .is_authenticated() before trying to do a login.

In django.contrib.comments.views.comments.post_comment there should be a check for not manipulator.get_user().is_authenticated() before trying to do a login(). Otherwise the login fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
