Because, as much as I find barrons' accusations disgusting and misguided, they are accusations centering around an interpretation of events. By contrast, Rev. Wright's speech centers around matters of fact. There is no interpretation of events in which the US government created AIDS - oh, I know about the Tuskegee Syphilis stuff, but that's not AIDS, and it wasn't the government creating a virus - and so when he spouts egregious rabble-rousing lies about those matters of fact from his pulpit he is held to a much higher standard.
