I've heard this argument often, especially in forms like this: "That guy hates homosexuals soooo much. . . he's obviously in an internal struggle with his own homosexuality." This might be the case sometimes, but I think in most cases it's not about fear at all, and it seems very unlikely to me that 90% of southern rednecks are all homosexual. It's because one has been taught to hate-- another group is lower, is disgusting, is dishonest or downright tricky, is greedy and so on.
Hatred CAN be an expression of fear. It can also be an expression of annoyance, resentment, disgust, or any other negative emotion.
It's easy doing math on such small numbers. As for a guess-- I'd say about 90% of words the guy has contributed have been the text walls he's copy-pasted from his blog.
