ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Alaska officials are investigating racist jokes about President-elect Barack Obama that have been circulating on state government e-mail accounts.

One of the five e-mails obtained by the Associated Press asks what was the outcome of the Democrat’s victory after all the time and money spent, and concludes: “Another black family living in government housing!”

State officials were unaware of the e-mails until asked about them by the AP.

Three of the racist messages were confirmed by the state’s information technology division after an electronic search of the government’s e-mail system, Administration Commissioner Annette Kreitzer said Wednesday.

“It’s embarrassing to the state,” she said.

Kreitzer said she alerted the office of Gov. Sarah Palin – the failed Republican vice presidential candidate – about the e-mails.

Bill McAllister, Palin’s spokesman, said in an e-mail that the matter concerned individual actions taken by a handful of state employees among thousands.

Sounds like a hoot. Oops, this mainstream media's golden boy. Can't say anything negative about him, or it will be misconstrued as racism, even though his campaign made racism front & center issue.

Just Alaska huh?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Maybe it was the same looney tune that burned down her church, ya know the church that the media refuses to bring up

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Here we go. The witch hunt for racism against Obama to prove that we still live in a racist nation. And the fact that its in Palin’s state is a two-fer for the MSM. Expect a lot of this. Every moron who makes a racist joke is going to get front page attention to build up poor oppressed Obama’s hero status.

This sounds like Saturday Night Live material.

Not on the taxpayers’ dime or equipment.

[mylife]

[JoanneSD]

It is always mentioned about Palin, being the failed Republican vice presidential candidate, never have I heard or seen about the failed democratic president candidate, Hillary Clinton, or Biden, or Richardson...msm media is sick

[reagan_fanatic]

Oh, it’s Alaska, so Sarah Palin probably had something to do with it!!!

[AppyPappy]

They’ll bring it up if it turns out to be an inside job

[NurdlyPeon]

And of course all the jokes that get circulated about Palin, well, that's not a problem.......

[Allegra]

Wonder why I haven't gotten any of these e-mails what with all of the delightfully politically incorrect friends and family I have?

Who's holding out on me???

Maybe it was the same looney tune that burned down her church

While employed by the state government.

[LiberConservative]

"Just Alaska huh?"

My first thought as well.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yeah notice no one refers to Hillary Clinton or John Kerry as “failed” candidates. Again, liberal hypocrisy, they have no shame

[FMBass]

“Sarah Palin – the failed Republican vice presidential candidate”

I caught the use of the word “failed” also.

Right out of the liberal’s book of phrases.

One of the five e-mails obtained by the Associated Press ,,

At least 4 of 5 of the emails originated from the AP

and probably all 5.

[Tallguy]

...Gov. Sarah Palin – the failed Republican vice presidential candidate – The game for the print journalists seems to be to find any excuse to get that phrase into as many News stories as possible before 2012.

[AppyPappy]

Gov. Sarah Palin – the failed Republican vice presidential candidate who is just a stupid old girl and no one likes her because she is fat and stupid and has no friends.

The MSM and the left, but I repeat myself,

will play up any little bit of racist negativism towards 0bama,

in order to insulate him from legitimate policy criticism.
