Sarah Palin and Fox News personality Glenn Beck will commemorate the ninth anniversary of the 2001 terror attacks on America with "patriots" at an event far-removed from Ground Zero or their joint appearance in Washington last month. The two are reuniting in Anchorage, Alaska -- Palin's home state.

"We can count on Glenn Beck to make the night interesting and inspiring, and I can think of no better way to commemorate 9/11 than together with patriots who will 'never forget,' " Palin said in a Facebook posting about the Saturday evening event at the Dena'ina Center in Anchorage.

Unlike Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally on the National Mall, the Anchorage commemoration at the Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center will cost you -- $73.75 per person, and up to $225 for participation in a "meet-and-greet," according to The Hill newspaper.

Glenn Beck, Sarah PalinPresident Obama will be at the Pentagon on Saturday for a wreath-laying ceremony, while Vice President Biden will be at Ground Zero to take part in services there.

Palin, the former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate, has spoken out against plans to build a mosque and Islamic community center two blocks from the site of the toppled World Trade Center.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.

Bottom Line: The News Media. A little Baptist church with 20 some members only elivated to the national attention by "the news media". The loss of income by the Gulf Coast of Flordia caused by "the news media". Not one tar ball hit the beaches of tht Golf Coast of Flordia South of the pan handle. News directors push for "bad news" excitement which sells news viewers. Fox, CBS, NBC, CNN, should be liable for the reimbursment of lost income to business's. and lost jobs.

Here is what "Patriot" Glenn Beck told Forbes magazine in an interview. "With a deadpan, Beck insists that he is not political: "I could give a flying crap about the political process." Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controversy is its own coinage. "We're an entertainment company," Beck says. He has managed to monetize virtually everything that comes out of his mouth. He gets $13 million a year from print (books plus the ten-issue-a-year magazine Fusion). Radio brings in $10 million. Digital (including a newsletter, the ad-supported Glennbeck.com and merchandise) pulls in $4 million. Speaking and events are good for $3 million and television for $2 million."

I am going to be civil. The best thing they could do for America to commemorate 9/11 would be to join hands and jump off the tallest buildng left near the site. We need intelligent commentators and problem solvers. Not Hate Mongers and Posers. It is annoying that these two think that we the public are stupid and so easily led. 20 years ago they would have had no forum. What really irks me is that the regular, everyday people who are suffering because of their agenda are the ones who continue to be their supporters. Hello ! When someone poops in my hat...I look at it and say...that is doody. I don`t look at it and say...thank you. Please find that tall building.... bring your friends...please.

UGH! We can't ignore them, they're everywhere. Like bed bugs! If people didn't respond, (including those of us commenting now), perhaps the media would resist having them in our face almost every day. Surly the two don't need to pay a PR firm when they get so much free publicity. Anyway, good to see more people slamming Beck and Palin rather than supporting them this go around. My faith in fellow Americans just went up a notch.

Constance, Why do you think President Obama will be at the Pentagon? It was attacked on 9/11, Alaska was not.

Beck & Palin so-called "patriotism" is just another name for their combined "egotism."

When is Ms Palin going to condemn "Burn a Quran" day in Florida. She can't go two sentences without mentioning the troops, even when it is completely off-topic. Yet despite Gen Patraeus saying this heinous idea could endanger our troops overseas, she hasn't said a thing.
