I'll freely admit to hating the man, and have no qualms or feeling of hypocrisy. It may be the same word, but there's a world of difference in my eyes between the hatefulness I accuse him of (namely encouraging people to hate wide swaths of people based on prejudgment) vs. the hate I've he's engendered from me (hating an individual for the actions for which that individual is responsible).
Homonyms are tricky things.
