On the Left, however, the questions are different. Namely, they are: How can we blame Republicans for this? Are tea partiers behind this? And, of course, is the racist right-wing pushing for the President's assassination?
A number of liberals on twitter and liberal websites such as Daily Kos shout a resounding answer of "yes" to those questions.
On Twitter, the user "Eat, Drink, and be Mary," who describes herself as, "Democrat. Proud Obama Supporter. Affordable Health Care. Immigration Reform. Gun Control," believes she has unlocked the truth:
Another user believes that there are GOP congressmen who are actually telling the secret service to stand down so the President is killed:
And who could forget that the biggest threats to the President are, of course, from Fox News viewers:
@nprpolitics OR a right-wing Obama-hating @FoxNews viewer. That's a bigger threat to POTUS and family's safety in the WH. #SecretService

"President Obama has faced three times as many threats as his predecessors" http://t.co/DBMpjSJoEq Racism lives. #p2 #teaparty

— Deborah G Flynn (@Dealerdeb1) September 30, 2014The fact that Obama's still safe after 6 years of violent, hateful right wingers threatening him means the #SecretService is doing well
— Christopher Bogus (@The_Molecule) September 30, 2014At Daily Kos, the conspiracy theories are flying high as well. Racists are in the secret service, they surmise, and they let the intruder in so he could kill "the black guy and his family:"
Or perhaps ingeniously, the Republicans pushed sequestration cuts to put the President in danger:
And over at Democratic Underground, a bright user wonders if Darrell Issa told the secret service to stand down:
Leftist so called thinkers, lobbyists, socialist liberal Dem groups are simply insane and un-American to boot. No one wants any Prez killed because it insults our entire American heritage, history and value system. Bama and his ilk have disgraced us but after all, in two years., he will be gone and if voters wake up to common sense, reform of the Secret Service and reform of the Moral Idiots who keep electing leftist Dems may be changed and America will survive even these dopes.
