I would agree there is never room for hate speech, but in this case I don't think it is hate speech. This Pastor is on an education mission within his congregation against a presidential candidate (I always thought you should separate church and state). The difference I see is that Rev. Wright was spewing hate speech towards whites, jews and America. Not against a candidate. I will agree his speech, or sermon, was filled with words we don't like to hear, but like Bill Cosby's speech, he is urging his people to think for themselves and not follow race lines.
