Pastor Wright - quoting someone else in his ‘provocative’ speeches…

” One of the most controversial statements in this sermon was when he mentioned “chickens coming home to roost.” He was actually quoting Edward Peck, former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq and deputy director of President Reagan’s terrorism task force, who was speaking on FOX News. That’s what he told the congregation.
He was quoting Peck as saying that America’s foreign policy has put the nation in peril.”
Interesting…context is a bitch, isn’t it? I wonder if the part about the quotes being a quote from someone else will make the 24 hour news cycle?
Would this be the same as saying that a newscaster is a racist because they repeated/quoted what Wright said?
