But even inciting violence is not perfect: If you call for the ouster of a powerful person or an unpopular person, or we look at the anti-Wallstreet movement in the late aughts, there was 'hate speech' in lots of the megaphone speakers's words. Even calling for the death of a mass murderer, in some cases that can be a call to violence. Even inciting a protest can be a call to violence.
It's getting close to "I can say down with Reagan and I won't get arrested --Me too, I can yell down with Reagan in Red Square and will not get arrested" territory.
There was time we considered the "Go fuck yourself Mr. Cheney" guy during Katrina(?) symbolic of free speech...(unlike France till recently) but today "Let's go Brandon" in some circles is "hate speech".
