WAR MANIA: "This series of magazine covers from the Weekly Standard illustrates how sections of the population are groomed to accept the idea of U.S. global triumphalism and the need for unilateral war against Arab and Muslim targets in the Middle East." http://tinyurl.com/cr8x3

The above slide show presentation is from the PRA site. They describe themselves thusly:

"Political Research Associates works to facilitate public understanding of the threat posed to human rights by oppressive and authoritarian right-wing movements in the United States. Founded in 1981, we are the premier national organization studying the full spectrum of the US Political Right - from ultraconservatives in the electoral arena to paramilitary organizations to supremacist groups. Through our research and publications, and as a national resource and support center for activists, journalists and others, PRA helps to build the movement for progressive social change and promotes democratic values and principles."

I think it's a very comprehensive and worthwhile resource. Chip Berlet's once (and maybe still) controversial essay on the 'Right wooing the Left' is here.
