I would be reluctant to tamper with free speech,like most Americans I hold free speech in high reguard.I was just reviewing "again" the Skokie case.While that case may not deal directly with the this thread there are some similarities at least in broad theory.Political rhetoric can be very offensive and perhaps dangerous.This is not a new phenomina,political rhetoric was very abusive shortly after the birth of our nation.This does not mean that antything goes,or that dangerous political rhetoric should be excused due to precedent.Should hate speech and assassination speech be protected under the First Amendment? I think that depends on "what" was said. Was it satire or off the cuff political commentary or was it something far more sinister?If the speech was conspiritorial,we have existing laws that should cover that.
