With all the fuss over The New Yorker’s distasteful caricature of the Obamas, it reminded me of a far more offensive caricature of John McCain that Rolling Stone featured last month.

Alongside a hit piece called Full Metal McCain, Rolling Stone magazine offered up the horrifying caricature you see above, which seemed to poke fun at John McCain’s 5 1/2 years of torture as a Vietnam POW.

I didn’t notice any outcry from the press or any strong condemnations from the mainstream media. Obviously, that’s because it wasn’t Jesus Barack Obama that was being caricatured.
