I appreciate the hint and did a search on Youtube, where I found the same two videos over and over again:

1.  In one, which I had seen before posting my last comment, it is apparent that Wright blame white racism for most of the problems in the black community, opposes to US foreign policy, and thinks Jesus was a black man.  In my opinion these views on the various issues mentioned in the speech range from correct (i.e.: his view of the war in Iraq) to overly simplified (blaming racism for everything) to patently ridiculous but harmless (that Jesus was black).  

2.  In the second video, Wright says "god damn America."  Out of context the statement is obviously unpatriotic.  In context--I'd say it's still unpatriotic, at least in the shallow, bumper-sticker-on-my Saudi-oil-guzzling-SUV sense of the word.  But it's still not hateful--Wright is just saying (in very powerful terms) that he doesn't share patriotism for a country that so utterly fails to live up to his (and the country's own) values.  

Once again--you wouldn't find me saying "god damn America."  I believe America stands for some really amazing things and I don't see anything productive coming out of insulting America.  That being said, it's still not hate speech. 

You might not agree with Wright and might even have contempt for his views, but nothing I've seen is so awful that I would refuse to vote for anyone who associated with him. If the man were spreading the blood libel or calling for mass murder then I wouldn't want to have anything to do with him and would be suspicious of anyone who associated with him. 

What I've seen of Wright does not rise to that level--what I've seen is material that Obama and Wright can agree to disagree about.
