Ayn Rand's Binswanger Blames Left for Museum Shooter

The wingnuts are setting the scene--because we want better relations with the Muslim world, that means we're anti-semitic.
That used to work. Not anymore.
The rightwing is in full defense mode, in denial about what part their daily barrage of caustic language and odd behavior plays in inciting violence among the wackos. 
This is what I got in my inbox from Human Events:
Obama Breeds Climate of Hate Against Jews

By Rabbi Dr. Morton H. Pomerantz

Our new president did not tell a virulent anti-Semite to travel to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington to kill Jews, but he is most certainly creating a climate of hate against us.

It is no coincidence that we are witnessing this level of hatred toward Jews as President Barack Obama positions America against the Jewish state.

Just days ago Obama traveled to Cairo, Egypt. It was his second trip in a short time to visit Muslim countries. He sent a clear message by not visiting Israel.

But this was code.

In Cairo, Obama said things that pose a grave danger to Jews in Israel, in America and everywhere.

And if his views are not vigorously opposed they will help create a danger as great as that posed by the Nazis to the Jewish people.

Seriously twisted stuff.
I can't follow Binswanger's logic since I've never known someone on the left to be an anti-semite. People on the left are more progressive, open to different cultures and beliefs. People on the right are more close-minded, slower to move forward and are big fans of guns.
