If so then I hate every movie I've ever seen except All About Eve. And all breakfast cereals other than Honey Bunches of Oats.
I think it has always meant something much stronger than what you describe. I try to separate hate of action from hate of the actor. Something of a hate the sin, not the sinner approach.
I also think there is something inherently different in meaning between when a person says "I hate Hitler" or "I hate George Bush" and "I hate disco" or "I hate raisins in bread pudding."
