Salty,
Create the stereotype by constant referral to the far end of the Bell Curve. Then use that stereotype as the way to identify EVERYONE who is right of the mid-point line where the majority are standing.
It's been played out over and over again. Heard it within 2 hours of the bombing. Right wing, without any qualifiers was mentioned as often, if not more so, than any other possibility. So much so, it was if those covering this horror were hoping it would be someone labeled domestic "right wing".
Licking their lips and wiping their hands at the thoughts of not letting another "good crisis go to waste".
