I don't think this is true. In this context, the latter is just a euphemism for people they hate, because open hatred is a hard sell. One of the only important differences between Southern Baptists and Westboro Baptists is the much greater honesty with which the latter communicates its beliefs.
Mainstream churches often do hate every bit as much and as virulently as the WBC, but understand that open hatred is a tough sell. Do you know why the WBC was openly hateful and most churches are not? The WBC was 100% self-funded. They could be as openly hateful as they wanted because they didn't have to rely on outside donations. Most churches have to pretend to cater to the sensibilities of decent people because they do not have that luxury.
