Oh, here comes the good old race card! As Twitchy reported, CNN broke the news that a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing has been identified. John King reported it was a “dark-skinned” male. Cue the outrage!
CNN describes suspect as "dark skinned male." Progs going nuts over description.

Yep. It wasn’t just the predictable Gwen Ifill. King was also on the receiving end of some freak-outs because he said he wouldn’t give further information so as to not “inflame tensions.”
John King says wont give more information about suspect not to inflame tensions doubt he would say that if dealing with a conservative

Huh. But, here come the lib freak-outs.
Heh, now @CNN (specifically @johnkingcnn) wants to pull back and not "inflame tensions" cc: @aceofspadeshq

Hm….."Dark skinned male" says a lot already, John King, who says he won't release more info for fear of "raising tensions"

Yeah, #thanks so much John King for not "inflaming tensions" by saying only that a dark-skinned male is responsible & giving no add'l info.

As Twitchy reported, Salon’s David Sirota is hardest hit. Remember, he hoped the bomber was a “white guy.”

People are cooked anything other than "white" could be worded as "Dark skinned" that doesn't mean BLACK! Smdh

#Bostonbombing suspect a "dark-skinned male". #CNN, why would you say that? You've unleashed the hounds of hell. #foxnews

I feel like counting the number of times #CNN uses "dark-skinned male." I'm so over polarizing and insensitive language in the media.

#NeverForget RT @LesIsMore82 Cuz we all know Boston doesn't take too kindly to Dark skinned people
— Fave Chappelle™ (@milesfan79) April 17, 2013
Yeah, "dark-skinned individual" is not at all vague and devoid of anything but fuel for terrible posts to online comment sections

Here is an idea, libs. Why not be happy that the case is moving forward and justice may be served? But, then, that doesn’t serve your grievance-mongering, does it?
