One point to keep in mind: how (and how widely) these things are spread. I see the examples she points out on liberal/progressive blogs, but not much otherwise; Beck, Limbaugh, and Savage have been out there in large-audience media outlets for years; Limbaugh in particular since the 1980s.
I don't see many on the left in print that can be compared with people like Kathleen Parker, Ann Coulter, Jonah Goldberg, or Ross Douthat and others; the left has very little in the way of subsidized pundits compared to the right. Where's the left's Regnery Press, or Cato Institute, or--I could go on, but the structures have been in place since at least the Clinton Administration.
