Rev. Wright was quoting someone else!! - watch the video
Reader comment on item: "America's Chickens are Coming Home to Roost"
Submitted by Chris (United States), Mar 21, 2008 at 14:28
It blows my mind that the news media is not showing this in context. This is not a direct Rev. Wright quote! He was in fact quoting the former Ambassador Iraq, Edward Peck, during an interview with Fox News. The Rev. even says that Peck was upsetting the Fox commentators with his remarks. It's a quote, people... not his own thoughts!
Unfortunately the media hasn't mention this crucial fact, nor did they show the clip in context.
Watch for yourself...

The quote in questions begins at around the 3:00 mark.
