    you must be looking in obscure places and ignoring the major ones :)

    at any given moment, one can easily find: O'Reilly Report Rush Limbaugh Andrew Sullivan Regular opinion columns on large websites such as Slate, Salon, even Yahoo News Almost anything examining the current "ant-war movement"

    hit the bookstore and find the latest book by Anne Coulter being prominently featured

    and this is just the stuff that i've even paid attention to...there's lots more. a better way to look at it would be to find where the non-left is being bashed? apparently, one cannot even criticize the president of the US without having to resign their post for doing so.
