If this was addressed to me, my family isn't saying anything about Argentina. I think it's off the radar for them.

The American right wing sends many mixed messages these days. You have your die-hard Bush loyalists like Limbaugh, the libertarian Republicans who are speaking up, and the whackos like Savage who are now attacking Bush and Limbaugh.
One anti-left trope that you will see in their books involves calling Franken, Chomsky and so on for having money.
In Argentina, Michael Savage last night said that the protests were being run by "Islamo-socialists". He yelled about Americans needing to fight both the Islamo-fascists and the Islamo-socialists. He got in a few digs against the French. Mostly crazy shit.
