From Anderson Cooper’s website:

The full story behind Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s 9/11 sermon


Editor’s note: CNN Contributor Roland Martin has listened to several of the sermons of Rev. Jeremiah Wright from Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Portions of the sermons have been excerpted in recent stories.
As this whole sordid episode regarding the sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright has played out over the last week, I wanted to understand what he ACTUALLY said in this speech. I’ve been saying all week on CNN that context is important, and I just wanted to know what the heck is going on.
I have now actually listened to the sermon Rev. Wright gave after September 11 titled, “The Day of Jerusalem’s Fall.” It was delivered on Sept. 16, 2001.
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: “I heard Ambassador Peck on an interview yesterday did anybody else see or hear him? He was on FOX News, this is a white man, and he was upsetting the FOX News commentators to no end, he pointed out, a white man, an ambassador, he pointed out that what Malcolm X said when he was silenced by Elijah Mohammad was in fact true, he said Americas chickens, are coming home to roost.”

This absurd gloss has now been picked up by the lunatic left on the internet and in the rest of the media.
But an objective reading of the above excerpt and viewing of the clip show that this is not what Mr. Wright said:

It is abundantly clear to any fluent speaker of the English language that Mr. Wright merely characterized Mr. Peck’s remarks as bearing out the truth of Malcolm X’s phrase. He was not quoting Mr. Peck.
Mr. Wright is not saying, as Mr. Martin claims, that Ambassador Peck used the expression “America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”
Weirder still, according to Lexus-Nexis Mr. Peck does not even seem to have appeared on Fox News until October 10, 2001.
And that appearance is after the date of Mr. Wright’s sermon, if the usually given date is accurate.

According to the transcripts, Mr. Peck did not once use the expression that “America’s chickens are coming home to roost” in any of these appearances on Fox News.
But again, it is obvious from the video that Mr. Wright was not quoting Mr. Peck. Mr. Martin’s interpretation is laughable. And a complete red herring.
But it is just the latest examples of what contortions the media will go through to defend its own.
