Motive is not part of the word "hateful." So no, calling a comment "hateful" is not making it personal.

However, calling the poster "hateful" is making it personal.

For instance, if I said to you "1000 silverlings, that was a hateful thing to say" it wouldn't mean that I think you are a hateful person.
