Same here. I don't really pay much mind to comics writers' and artists' political views and/or personal beliefs when appreciating their non-political work, unless it starts negatively affecting the quality of their output (like, say, Frank Miller's work in the past decade and a half).
The thing about guys like Chuck Dixon and Larry Hama is that unless they're writing expressly for the purpose of making a conscious political statement, they don't really let their personal/political views colour their comics writing, which I think is the mark of a good professional writer in the entertainment genre. I think it says something about both men's professionalism that their recent work on IDW's GI Joe is seamless, despite coming from quite disparate backgrounds in terms of politics and life experience: Hama is a Vietnam veteran, leans slightly left-of-center in terms of his politics, and has, on more than one occasion, likened superhero vigilantism to fascism; Dixon is a "comics lifer," a vocal political conservative, and is most well-known for his work on superhero comics.
