2) Farrakhan — like Nazis and Communists — has a First Amendment right to tell his lies and spread his hate. But no media has an obligation to promote or disseminate his bigotry.

3) Nor does it demand silence from responsible Black and Muslim leaders, whose voices should be heard condemning Farrakhan's devaluation of Jewish lives, gay lives, and the lives of people suffering from Covid-19.
4) Under the principles espoused in Brandenburg v Ohio and other leading cases, "advocacy" of violence is constitutionally protected but not "incitement " to "Imminent lawless action." The line between advocacy and incitement has not always been easy to draw.
5) In his July 4th hate-filled anti-American rant, Louis Farrakhan singled out this author for condemnation and threats for writing an article urging people to take a Covid-19 vaccine if a safe an effective one were developed.
6) The article also stated that mandatory vaccinations to prevent the spread of a highly contagious lethal disease was held constitutional by the Supreme Court and would likely be upheld by the current Court. This comment led Farrakhan to say the following:
7) "So Mr. Dershowitz, if you bring the vaccine and say you're going to bring your army to force us to take it, once you try to force us, that's a declaration of war on all of us..."
8) "...You only have this one life; fight like hell to keep it & fight like hell to destroy those whose heart & mind is to destroy you & take your life from you." Although the threat's not direct, that's the way Farrakhan incites violence against specific Jews & Jewish people.
9) In the same speech, he calls the head of the Anti-Defamation League Satan. Then says, "When you see Satan pick up a stone as we do in Mecca." This constitutes an even more direct threat of violence.
10) Then tells his listeners that the Jewish Talmud urges Jews to poison non-Jews, and that he himself was poisoned.
In the most irresponsible proposal in a screed filled with irresponsibility,...
11) Farrakhan warns black people not to take any vaccine developed by Americans such as Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci: "Do not take their medications." "They're plotting to give 7,500,000,000 people a vaccination..."
12) "Dr. Fauci, Bill Gates, you want to depopulate the earth. What the hell gives you that right? You're sure to die now. They want a quicker death."
Farrakhan also admitted that he asked God to make Florida the epicenter of Coronavirus and spewed other nonsense about Covid-19.
13) For anyone who has followed Farrakhan's hate-filled career — praising Hitler, calling Jews termites, calling Judaism a gutter religion, attacking gays — the content of any Farrakhan speech comes as no surprise. So why this thread on a monster?
14) An otherwise supposed responsible media promote and carry Farrakhan's incitements to hatred and violence. This speech was promoted in advance and carried live by the Revolt TV YouTube channel. It was reportedly watched more than 800,000 times.
15) Farrakhan, like Nazis & Communists, has a 1st Amendment right to tell his lies & spread his hate. But no media has an obligation to promote or disseminate his bigotry. Fox Soul TV was within its rights, & was right, when it cancelled Farrakhan's appearance. Revolt TV, WHY?
