Why the right-wing media will continue to fan the flames of hate aside from profit.
Because they have no fear that a Liberal will come up to them and put a bullet in their head.

3. We could show them Sarajevo, home of the '84 Olympics, and a brutal civil war.
People don't recognize the path that we are on and Sarajevo shows what's possible. We all have so much to lose. Instead of commercials about the national debt that have been on TV, it is even more urgent that this violence stop before it kills our relatives and impoverishes the living.
