Right Wing Preachers
Glenn,
You are confusing "America Haters" with "sin haters." Parsley, Robertson, Hagee, Falwell, and others, have never been considered haters of "America" by even their harshest critics. In fact there is plenty of evidence they went to great lengths to demonstrate their patriotism. They have been accused of hate "speech" because of their beliefs that certain sins (homosexuality, abortion etc.)
condoned by the American government and courts would bring God's wrath to America. This is different from the hatred expressed by Wright toward America and the accusation for example that the US government was instrumental in infecting African Americans with HIV.
