Or is it only morally wrong to hate what is lovable?
Should one hate what is hateful, as well as love what is lovable?
Indeed, is it morally remiss not to hate, but to love, what is hateful, just as it is morally remiss not to love, but to hate, what is lovable?
Furthermore, are only people who hate what is lovable just targets of hatred themselves? Or are also people who love what is hateful just targets of hatred too? It seems to me that liberals believe mostly the first, conservatives mostly the second.

we hate what we fear. a much healthier response is to overcome the fear until only dislike remains.

Hate is an appropriate response to certain situations. First reason, then emotiion. If you have a reason to hate something then it is correct to hate.

One shoud not hate one's enemies; just eliminate tham.

Is it correct to love without reason? Or is reason only needed to hate?

Any emotion should be preceded by reason. Do you walk around laughing maniacally for no reason? That would make you a lunatic. Or burst into tears for no reason?

It's not morally wrong. It's just a waste of time.
In fact, hating costs energy. And that energy could be better used to do something constructive, which in the long run will make that person happier.

No it doesn't. That would be fear (either rational or not).
Hate just consumes time. Time which could be better spent actually doing something constructive (eg defence).
