The first admendment also stops people pushing wrong/hateful/contemptible ideas from using the 'martyr' defence to get people on their side. By allowing them, you avoid the situation where people promoting said views say 'see, they must have some level of truth otherwise the government wouldn't be trying to censor me'.
Stops people with these types of views being seen as the underdog that's being oppressed for going against authority.
