Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck | featured news

On the Sept. 11 anniversary, the conservative duo urges followers to take the nation back from an over-reaching government. The line to get into the Glenn Beck- Sarah Palin road show's Alaska stop Saturday stretched around the corner and down a city block. One woman came with her hair tied back in an American flag; a bushy-haired man in a leather Jesus jacket warned of an impending 8.6 earthquake.

The commemoration event will be in Anchorage.

We already know the numbers. Pew finds that 18% of Americans believe President Obama is a Muslim. A new Newsweek poll, taken after the controversy over the New York mosque, places that figure at 24%. Even if he's not a Muslim, Newsweek finds, 31 percent think it's "definitely or probably" true that Obama "sympathizes with the goals of Islamic fundamentalists who want to impose Islamic law around the world."

The event organized by the conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck was held at the site of Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have A Dream” speech exactly 47 years ago to the day.

Fans and foes alike are hoping for surprises in Sarah Palin 's memoir , Going Rogue: An American Life , which leap-frogged Dan Brown and Glenn Beck to the top of the Amazon.com bestseller last week before even being published.
