Umm, yes. Plenty.
I'm the guy who started and kept up a long-running anti-Kerry thread, remember?
Or for a more recent example, consider
the post in which I struck "Democratic Ohio Governor Strickland from the list of politicians I respect".

Huh?
Don't tell me - in your interpretation, "
credit where credit is due" means something negative, when said by a liberal.
I was grateful and glad to see conservative bloggers finally standing up to Coulter's hateful stupid ****. And I thought it only fair for me to come here to point it out, since it was in the
Bush Supporters' Aftermath Thread that, last time round, I had railed against conservatives NOT speaking up against her.
At the time, Tico already provided one counterexample, and I thanked him for it - now that I found a bunch more myself, the least I could do was bring them here.
I've
also posted the list of conservatives-who-spoke-up-against-Coulter-now on the most recent anti-Coulter thread, to show the liberals there that not all conservatives are appeasing her.

Umm, the whole point of my post was to compliment these conservative bloggers and posters for denouncing Coulter WITHOUT including the "but liberals are worse and bla bla etc etc" thing. I think that definitely speaks well for them.
It was all the more praiseworthy since they were not prodded into it by liberal questioners, but did so wholly spontaneously.
There is a potshot in there, obviously, but it is quite explicitly not targeted at "the Conservatives"; it was targeted at conservative discussion here on A2K:

Consider me hopeful that A2K conservatives will this time be as boldly decent as these bloggers I quoted.
