Not there, I think it is closer to Hate the sin and stone the gays, women, unruly teenagers, slaves and anyone that isn't part of the God crew. At least thats the OT teaching.

I don't think it says that word for word in the Bible, however Jesus' teachings to seem to reflect the sentiment. He ate with the tax collectors, touched lepers, was friends with the big time sinners of His day. But at the same time cleared the temple, because the religious leaders had allowed it to become a place where people made money through inflating prices, and cheating those who came to the temple to worship. Jesus was marked by love and grace however He was marked by holiness and could not look past blatant sin and say that it was ok.

It's inferred. I would recommend you read any Gospel to understand this concept.
BUT! BUT!!!!!!!
Some people take this saying and they use it to beat some kind of sinners head with it. I want you to know that It is NOT what I would do. I myself am a sinner. So that's not ME!

It's a handy way of allowing the hyper-religious zealots to persecute people while at the same time occupying what appears to be the moral high ground.

Not in those words, but the lesson is certainly taught by example, such as in the story told in John 8.

No, I think that particular piece of nonsense came from Augustine - the same morbid sexual degenerate who honed the Christian concept of "Original Sin!"
It's a way of allowing people to indulge their base bigotry while preserving their lofty opinion of themselves as "compassionate" and "righteous."
Personally, if you think I'm a "sinner," you can go ahead and hate ME. And trust that the feeling is mutual. I don't see what the difference is anyway in practice.

It doesn't but certainly the principle of showing love to all while hating the sin that defiles them is evident.
god bless

consider this:
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
[psalm 139]
"I hate those who cling to worthless idols;
I trust in the LORD.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
for you saw my affliction
and knew the anguish of my soul.
[psalm 31:6-7]

Protestant/ fundamentalist BS.
This is part of their belief that only those who believe exactly as they do get in heaven,
and everyone else, good or bad, roasts eternally with God watching over gleefully with an evil grin.
