Robertson and Sharpton: Something They Agree On

You almost have to see it to believe it. As part of an upcoming ad campaign, environmental activist and former vice president Al Gore has succeeded in getting religious broadcaster Pat Robertson and the Rev. Al Sharpton to speak about their agreement on caring about the environment.

A clip of the ad from a "60 Minutes" segment, shown on huffingtonpost.com, reveals the two men sitting on a couch on the beach acknowledging that this is something they agree on. Almost affectionately, Sharpton calls Robertson "Rev. Pat."

On CBNNews.com, Robertson said he was honored to be asked by Gore to take part in the campaign: "I have always supported clean air, clean water and the reduction of acid rain. It's just common sense that we ought to be good stewards of the environment and do everything within our power to protect this fragile planet that we all live on."
