John Edwards and Hateful Speech

Watching this clip on YouTube I came away agreeing with the substance of what Edward's was saying but almost laughing to myself because the story of Edwards' campaign really doesn't line up very well with the tirade against hateful speech he gave on Hardball.

First there was the Marcotte thing. Then you've got Elizabeth Edwards calling her neighbor a "rabid rabid Republican" and insinuating Bush is a racist.

Not quite a campaign free of hateful speech...

With the perceived hypocrisy in mind, I did what any iMovie-equipped, YouTube-account-holding blogger would do, and here's what we've got:
