Al Sharpton on his show along with Focus On The Family's Tony Perkins and journalist Roland Martin.

While discussing scary James Dobson's blasting of Barack Obama, Sharpton said to Anderson: "I may have some very conservative personal feelings but I feel you have the right to live your life differently. I may think that what you do Anderson is gonna put you in Hell, but I'm gonna defend your right to get there."

Anderson remarked: "I appreciate all your concerns about my afterlife. I'm personally not all that concerned, but that's a whole other discussion."
