This is quite interesting statement. I have a desire to come across such a people or group of peopl who hold such views. and listen to their view and reasons. So far no luck.
Btw, I am talking about those people who genuinely have grudge against Hazrat Ali (ra). Not including those history buffs who criticise his politics and decisions due to thier overall impact.
its hard to find them as these people pose as mainstream sunnis but in reality are the nawasib
personally I had the chance of seeing one of them call Ali the "na khalaq baita" of aisha , as he "waged war against her"
they in the past had cursed Ali openly , but now when mainstream sunnis after Imam ibn hanbal accepted Ali as the fourth pious caliph their position was exposed so outwardly they put "radiallahanhu" next to his name but in reality belittle his high merits and extol and glorify his enemies.To this day they exist amongst us .....
