And how different is that from the liberal lemming response?

Another conditioned right-wing response.

"well, everyone else is equally bad so it doesn't matter and we can just pretend you never said that now shut up".

News flash for you kid: everyone is NOT equally bad on this front. In fact, it's not even close. The "Pavlov's Dog" reputation of the far right is both well-earned and entirely accurate.

Notice, for example, that most of what you just cited as your examples of "left wing" Pavlovian responses were in fact actual policies which are (shock! horror!) the subject of actual ongoing political debate. The right wing, on the other hand, relies on simple "cue" images (Jane Fonda! France! Hollywood!) plus simple conditioned responses (bark!bark!bark!).

There is a BIG difference between this level of conditioned non-thought vs. an actual substantive debate over specific policy positions.

However, as a member of the right wing, I don't expect you to see that. After all, you've spent your entire political life being trained not to.
