Want To Be A ‘Patriot’ On 9/11 With Glenn Beck And Sarah Palin? It Will Cost You (Updated)

video
» 109 comments

Glenn Beck likes his dates. Hot on the heels of his successful 8/28 ‘Restoring Honor’ rally Beck is re-teaming with sidekick Sarah Palin to throw a 9/11 shindig. This time in Alaska. Maybe they are trying to restore 9/11? Unlike the 8/28 rally this one will cost you. Tickets for the event “range from a low of $73.75 per person (including taxes and fees) to a high of $225, for a spot in the arena and participation in a “meet and greet.” The Hill notes there is “no indication to whom or what the proceeds will go.”

I actually can’t find mention of the event on Glenn Beck’s website but here’s how Sarah Palin described it:

Glenn’s coming to the Last Frontier! I hope my fellow Alaskans (and anyone visiting from Outside) will join me this Saturday, September 11, 2010, at Anchorage’s Dena’ina Center at 8:00 p.m. Glenn Beck will be there – you won’t want to miss it. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster.com.

We can count on Glenn to make the night interesting and inspiring, and I can think of no better way to commemorate 9/11 than to gather with patriots who will “never forget.” Hope to see you there!

Naturally, the pairing of Palin and Beck on 9/11 is offensive to some including Keith Olbermann who thinks they’re the worst people in the world (below). Though, honestly, relatively speaking, I don’t see what the big deal is. Or what the big deal is compared to the content of Glenn Beck‘s show, which reaches millions and Sarah Palin‘s Facebook page, which has been unduly influencing public policy for a least a year. As I understand it, these are just some speeches they’re giving to a crowd in Alaska, and they both happen to be quite good at giving speeches. Charging for tickets might be a bit unseemly but so are a lot of things connected to 9/11 this year, including the tables of 9/11 ‘memorabilia’ sold in and around Ground Zero.

Update: Statement from a spokesperson: “Glenn had always intended to donate the speaking fee from the event on Saturday, September 11th in Alaska to Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Governor Palin is not and was never going to receive a fee for introducing Glenn at this event.”

What I happen to find more fascinating about this is the continued pairing of Beck and Palin, both Fox News personalities, in events having nothing to do with Fox News. When I first saw them together on Beck’s show last January I thought they sort of canceled each other personality-wise, but co-headlining events is obviously a PR bonanza for the pair and between their combined success in publishing, television, Facebook and their influence on the nation’s political dialogue one wonders if they aren’t testing the waters for a media enterprise of their own. It would certainly be a far more realistic endeavor than any of the political ambitions that some folks have been recently speculating the two might have.

    Actually…Keith Olbermann is offensive to most people in the world…so I would say we are even.

    OMG! Beck & Palin are speaking in Alaska? WTF. Dude, that’s like fascist or something (I heard that word from Professor Childs). Come on, let’s call them like really bad names cuz they, uh, uhm, they, well, fascists. Oh, dude, teabags. ROFLMAO.

    Whackjob lefties whined and cried for weeks prior to Beck’s 8/28 rally. They were dead wrong about every single aspect of it, in the end. Yet, they still couldn’t bring themselves to admit that the rally was offensive to no one while it raised over $5MM for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Instead, they continued to lie & make up stuff. Afterall, we know the left doesn’t care about the families of special ops warriors. What’s really important is to somehow attack Glenn Beck. Wow, you lefties really have some effed up minds. I mean, it’s always been known that you basically hate the military and all who serve but to go to the lengths you did during and after the 8/28 rally was really beyond the usual lefty craziness. Instead of praising the rally for raising over $5MM that will go to the college funds of sons & daughters who’s fathers were killed in combat, you attack Beck for not actually touching a historical document? Really? That’s how shallow and whackjob crazy you are? No wonder your party is about to get thrown the hell out of Washington.

  • roxsteady

    Are you kidding me? This is the most offensive thing these 2 cash whores have done to date. Beck has already expressed his hatred for some of the 911 widows. Considering that neither of them are poor, exactly what is the reason for charging this kind of money? Why not free with the 2 of them covering the costs of the venue? Someday the rubes who follow these 2 clowns will wake up but, until they do, they’ll continue to be fleeced by these 2 ignorant hacks! And stop comparing Obama to either of these 2 idiots. He’s the President of the United States and they’re 2 hacks from the Republican propaganda cable network. They don’t hold any public office and Obama holds the ultimate one in this country.

    Good point, Iris.

    If Beck and Palin love America so much, why don’t they pay all the costs on 9/11.

    Because they love their bank accounts more than they love America.

    Charging $70 + dollars on 9/11 is shameful.

    Capitalizing on people’s grief and fear.

    I think it would be very funny if it turns out the money being charged for this event ends up going to some charity. I am sure Glenn and Sarah knew the liberals would take this line of attack.

    It wasn’t good enough for any liberal that Glenn ended up raising 3.5 million for the special operations warrior fund along with whatever money he spent of his own to put on the restoring honor rally.

    Who said this Beck/Palin rally isn’t contributing any of its money to charitable organizations? According to The Hill, “no indication to whom or what the proceeds will go.” Maybe B/P are donating the proceeds, but they haven’t mentioned it.

    Judging from Beck’s past charitable giving, I’m willing to bet that this rally will give more of their proceeds to charity than “Cheapskate” Joe Biden gave to charities ($360 PER YEAR) over the past decade COMBINED. For that matter, I’m willing to bet that the rally will give a higher percentage of its proceeds to charity than the Obamas gave (5.7%) prior to running for President. I guess it’s OK to spend taxpayers money, but when it comes to your own cash: Fuck The Poor.

    Glynnis, why must EVERY event that Glenn OR Sarah have be a benefit to anybody? Can’t they just have these events “just because,” or *GASP* to make money? What the hell is wrong with that? Nobody so much as sneezes at any event put on by Owl Gore, Bill Clinton or anybody else on the left. Why is there such a focus on Glenn and/or Sarah, and money-making or not?

    You guys need to get a new boogeyman.

  • philipjames

    I get a kick out of the left wing wackos and anyone else who complains about this. If they wish to contribute money to pay for the arena, security, staffing, etc. then I am sure that Glenn and Sarah and any other speakers will appreciate it.
    And, by the way, if you don’t want to pay…. then don’t pay and don’t go. What the hell is the problem? Do the liberals yell and scream when Al Gore or Bill Clinton become millionaires (possibly in the case of Gore with his “green” investments it is billionaire)?

  • Hawk11

    Seriously people… If you don’t think Glenn Beck didn’t make a ton of money off his (I didn’t know about MLK’s speech) 8/28 rally then you really need to evaluate your senses.

    I have to admit the guy is a genius, a scam artist and a genius. TV evangelists claim to be men and women of god, right? Yet these people are multimillionaires and not giving very much back. Glenn Beck knew this and told himself “watch me make money off these people as well.” He uses religious prowess to pray on those who’s faith mean the most to them.

  • Mr B

    I tell you what. Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin can not make more combined than Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.

    I think that is fair. We’ll say $300 Million (figuring Obama makes $100 Million on a speech tour after Office in 2012).

    I think this is quite brilliant on the part of Palin:

    * Announce a commemorative event on 9/11

    *Charge a fee, but (strategically) leave out charitable details

    *Let the “Lamestream Media” wail away on you

    *Make a massive donation to the warrior fund

    *Wail away on the press

    Absolute genius.

  • Iris

    Sara and mr b so its OK with you for people to make money off the 3000 bodies that died on 911 so I guess you also agree with your messiah beck on hating the 911 families….

    you know it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims’ families? Took me about a year. And I had such compassion for them, and I really wanted to help them, and I was behind, you know, “Let’s give them money, let’s get this started.” All of this stuff. And I really didn’t — of the 3,000 victims’ families, I don’t hate all of them. Probably about 10 of them. And when I see a 9-11 victim family on television, or whatever, I’m just like, “Oh shut up!” I’m so sick of them because they’re always complaining. And we did our best for them. And, again, it’s only about 10.

    how do you know they are making any money off this? they have to pay (most likely) to rent the hall. They have to pay people to work the event. Do they have to pay for entertainment/bands or something? Are they serving food? They most likely have to pay for security for the event…. Are proceeds going to charity? You have absolutely no idea, so why don’t you hold off on your hate filled screeds until you know the facts.

    “making money off the bodies of 9/11 victims” oh please.

    And again, NO ONE is being forced to go to the event. If people want to go, they pay. If they want to pay, they go. Why are you so outraged? No one is expecting you to go, nor would you if it were free. Why the anger?

    You are just hating to hate.

    In the past few days, GBR has commented about lies (Obama’s) are just broken promises, killing high school teachers you disagree with, and turning fire hoses on protesters you disagree with. I don’t think I like your version of America.

    GBR is still the biggest hypocrite at Mediaite

    StandUp.. I agree!

    A BROKEN PROMISE IS NOT A LIE. That’s a fact, not something to be proud or ashamed of.

    I didn’t advocate killing anyone. I knew that “stand up” would quote the line out of context to make it sound different than it was meant. (I mocked someone here, Penguin if I recall.) Stand Up, what part of SARCASM do you not get? Even the sarcasm had nothing to do with not agreeing with a teacher. NOTHING! How do you get off lying like this?

    Stand Up my ass! By “stand up,” you don’t mean telling jokes. I’m guessing you mean: Listen to Master Beck, stand up and do something to save your country kind of uninformed Stand Up. Am I wrong about this? You certainly practice Beck’s type of deceitful mis-representation of another’s word. You learn well grass hopper.

    Way to go Glen Beck.

    There are some smart people on the “right”. Beck and Palin are not them! Beck lies by note and the baggers love it!

    ““Glenn had always intended to donate the speaking fee from the event on Saturday, September 11th in Alaska to Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

    I don’t believe this for a second.

    First they say it was supposed be on another day but had to be rescheduled and now they conviently say that Beck was always doing it for the troops.

    This lies come thick and loose. He just got caught with his hand in the 9/11 cookie jar.

    It reminds me of the “memo” when he got drunk after his View appearance stating that he was “sick” all along. lol

    Btw, all you guys who insisted it was ok for Beck to “get paid”, once again your messiah disagrees with you.

    A Beck spokesperson says Sarah Palin is not receiving an appearance fee, and Beck is donating his to charity.

    “Glenn had always intended to donate the speaking fee from the event on Saturday, September 11th in Alaska to Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Governor Palin is not and was never going to receive a fee for introducing Glenn at this event,” a spokesperson for Glenn Beck told CNN.

    Event organizers say the 4,000 seat venue is nearly sold out. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/09/trending-palin-beck-team-up-on-911-event/

    I never claimed that Obama “never lied.” My point is that most, the vast majority of supposed “lies” he has told are in fact broken promises. The far right whack jobs like Beck twist his broken promises into purposeful deception, and that’s just nonsense.

    A broken promise just that, a broken promise. A lie is another beast altogether.

    I’m sure the poor people he donates the money to will be pleased.

    OH, that’s right, he doesn’t help the poor. (That’s because he’s a hypocrite.) I would love to admit that I’m wrong about this, but I have yet to see where Beck practices Christian charity. With his platform on Fox and for all his talk about charity, he doesn’t help raise money for the needy, the poor. He talks the talk.

    Olbermann has been raising money for the free health care clinics that travel around the country, using his platform to help raise money for them and gives his own money to the efforts. He doesn’t yammer on about charity.
    He walks the walk.
