The parable of the Burning House in the Lotus Sutra tells of children playing in a house where the other end has caught fire. The children refuse to leave, and have to be lured out with promises of shiny toys. Rs don't want shiny toys. They want mass death.
I have seen these clips highlighted on three different MSNBC shows today, plus CNN.

Here is an excerpt.
Lately I saw a house. It was burning. The flame
Licked at its roof. I went up close and observed
That there were people still inside. I entered the doorway and called
Out to them that the roof was ablaze, so exhorting them
To leave at once. But those people
Seemed in no hurry. One of them,
While the heat was already scorching his eyebrows,
Asked me what it was like outside, whether there was
Another house for them, and more of this kind. Without answering
I went out again. These people here, I thought,
Must burn to death before they stop asking questions.
