My Cleric was meditating while another group was fighting in Unrest. Out
of nowhere, the mob (forget what it was) cast a spell on me then continued
to fight the other party. My group or I had did nothing to draw the mob.
Was this Bard Hate too? NO.

As I said before, mobs have some randomness in who they attack. Every
class will experience this. I don't think Bards are more heavily weighted
than all other class. Unfortunately Bards also draw mobs with their songs
that pulse every 6 seconds. So they get both the random mobs and the
song-drawn mobs. This is why it seems so much worse for Bards than any
other characters.
