Anderson Cooper was talking last night about fundamentalist Christian attacks on Barack Obama with minister Al Sharpton, author Roland Martin and Family Research Council President Tony Perkins. The talk turned toward religious tolerance, and suddenly Sharpton was outing CNN's prettiest anchor as, gosh, some kind of sinner? "I might think what you do, Anderson, is going to put you in hell, but I'm going to defend your right to get there," Sharpton said. Then everyone laughed, because virulent, institutionalized homophobia is hilarious, and Anderson blushed and managed to say something dignified, while probably secretly wishing he was officially gay so he could let loose a verbal spanking that would make Keith Olbermann's "Special Comments" sound like bedtime stories

CNN is a cesspool of irrelevant blather.
I like your comment better than mine. I wish I had thought of it.
“I might think what you do, Anderson, is going to put you in hell, but I’m going to defend your right to get there...”
Now that’s funny.
One man’s irrelevent blather is another man’s ironic humor.
He's echoing Voltaire's "I disagree with your views, but I will defend your right to express them." [I quote badly, but that's the gist]
I think Sharpton is equating sinful behavior with Freedom of Speech.
I thought what the other guy on the panel said was funny, that he was going to try and talk him out of going to hell.
“I might think what you do, Anderson, is going to put you in hell,...”
Maybe Rev. Al was referring to the fact that Cooper works for CNN ...
I believe the other guy said he was “going to try and keep Anderson from going to hell”
Yes. I’m guessing that guy was the conservative on the panel. Don’t really know.
But what I find funny is a “Minister” saying he’ll defend a fag’s right to go to hell.
Maybe...Maybe..
"Digging in Deeper , the right to go to Hell" should of been the title of the segment on CNN
“Digging in Deeper , the right to go to Hell.”
I’ll add; “Brought to you by liberalism.”
I think Anderson cooper cups keith olderman’s ****s
Down Low,Sweetie!
Ooooooh, nice manhole......cover.
Sitting by a man hole cover...hahaha.
