Folks hate Thiel for his politics. The article referenced by TFA was posted here, about half the comments were just ad hominem attacks on Thiel rather than attacking his argument.

That's somewhat disingenuous. People hate Thiel because of his personality and his actions - i.e. what he says and does - not only his politics. Saying somebody is hated because of their politics alone implies that they are simply hated for being an outspoken democrat, republican, libertarian, etc; and that that person has done nothing that would reasonably provoke the reaction they receive.
