Actually I found an even easier way if you are using mongoDB to persist you documents...

findDocumentsByJSON = function(json, db,docType,callback) {
  this.getCollection(db,docType,function(error, collection) {
    if( error ) callback(error)
    else {
      collection.find(json).toArray(function(error, results) {
        if( error ) callback(error)
        else
          callback(null, results)
      });
    }
  });
}

You can then pass {isRight:1} to the method and return an array ONLY of the objects, allowing me to push the heavy lifting off to the capable mongo.
