11. They are ALREADY saying that it will be a lefty pretending to be a righty, because
NO TRUE CONSERVATIVE would ever use violence to get their way, they would only hint at it by wearing weapons to political meetings:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_scotsman

Imagine Hamish McDonald, a Scotsman, sitting down with his Glasgow Morning Herald and seeing an article about how the "Brighton Sex Maniac Strikes Again." Hamish is shocked and declares that "No Scotsman would do such a thing." The next day he sits down to read his Glasgow Morning Herald again and this time finds an article about an Aberdeen man whose brutal actions make the Brighton sex maniac seem almost gentlemanly. This fact shows that Hamish was wrong in his opinion but is he going to admit this? Not likely. This time he says, "No true Scotsman would do such a thing."

Seriously, this kind of statement is already making the rounds in places like freep. They know which way their madness is going. They want to enjoy the result (violent chaos or the death of the president) but take no responsibility for the acts and environment causing them.
