I see plenty of opinions on HN from both sides on both typical Google concerns and on this one specifically, so I don't agree that the HN community had some kind of politically hypocritical bias. It's also likely that any given person could want Google more regulated in some way, but disagree with Thiel's hateful, politicized ramblings here, where he suggests much more extreme tactics.
