4. are you criticizing CNN for this ?

or calling the people in the picture assholes ?

because i think they should show these things when reporting on them. that's what they are all about. let people see that.

5. The context of the image is that it's in an article about the Tea Partiers

So I'd say the owner of the laptop at least is an asshole, and that calling CNN assholes for showing the image is a bit of a stretch when there's so many other good reasons to..

6. I still don't see how this is racist

The Joker is a pop culture villain, and we've used such figures to pillory Bush and Cheney. The Joker was supposed to be an evil figure who took the persona of a deranged clown, he wasn't trying to mimic Al Jolson.
