| Bullshit. Freedom of speech is freedom of speech. When you put people in jail for saying something, then it's only a matter of time until the law gets around to finding out you said something it didn't like. This is prior restraint, nothing more. The guy voices an unpopular theme, so he has to be punished.
This "yell fire in a crowded theater" crap is nothing more than a defense attorney's ploy to get us to believe that "freedom of speech" really means "approved freedom of speech". If you yell fire in a crowded theater and there is none, you are responsible for the result, and should be prosecuted. Saying untrue things might be a crime, voicing opinions should never be.
