Read what you want, but awareness of the context is always useful.
I've only come across him for the first time recently and admittedly know little about him. I am assuming for the sake of this discussion that he is as vile and vicious as he is being painted. But the position some seem to be advocating is very little different from, say, refusing to give money to the Heart Foundation merely because you discover he gave money to it. After all, if he approves of their work enough to give money, surely it must be evil?
