208. A single march, that advocated a point of view , and that NEVER TOOK PLACE
The point of view was not a stated, cited "Kill the Jews" it was the more vague "here we are, we're American Nazis." And the march never happened. So the comparison is shaky in the extreme, at best.

If the Nazis started up a TV station that specifically incited violence against Jews, put people on the air who described how they intended to kill Jews, showed examples of people actually killing Jews, and played music videos exhorting their number to commit acts of genocide, it wouldn't stay on the air but a minute.

You cannot deliberately and with foreknowledge incite violence that is likely to result in acts of lawlessness. The Supreme Court has so ruled. It is a check on the First Amendment, and al-Manar's genocide-encouraging broadcasts fall under that rubric.
