I must say, I bought less of he-who-must-not-be-named books since I found out about his rants.
The thing is, if I support someone with dollars, some percentage of that dollars is going to support things I don't support.
Say I buy a bunch of someone's books, and then they donate money to some group with a particular agenda. I'm indirectly funding the hate mongering.
I certainly don't worry all of the time and research all of my purchases to make sure nothing is going to the wrong places - that would be impossible.
But if it's obvious, I avoid. When my wife brought up Girl Scouts for my little girls I expressed some reservations for similiar sorts of reasons (although it seems they've gotten a bit better than the Boy Scouts).
Vote with your dollars!! I think they are even more effective than actual votes in some ways.
