    Except you can’t threaten a president or lie about a corporation without being sued.

    However, the right to incite racial violence is very much protected

    Funny that huh?

      Or anybody else if it’s a “true threat”

      or lie about a corporation without being sued.

      Or anybody else. And this is a civil tort not a criminal offense.

        Yeah, so, like I said, not so free after all, depsite the claims to the contrary.

        Well, unless its the right to incite racial hatred and violence. Then you’re free as a bird.

        I’m sure its just a coincidence and doesn’t cross reference with anything else from Americas history.

          I have no idea what your point is. Do you have an argument that isn’t petty whining and vague hints at something nefarious? Because whiny “I’m sure it’s just a coincidence…” arguments simply aren’t worth engaging with.

        Yeah - it protected a lot of civil rights activists in the '60s.
