I am saying, and think I have said, that the purpose of their speech is not speech, it is to restrict the doofus's speech. And that is infringing.
It's legal to say we should ship all the blacks back to Africa, an action which if taken would totally be contrary to all kinds of rights. It's legal to say the chair hanging racist should face the death penalty for what he is has done, what would be unconstitutional is to execute him for it. I don't think you understand the first amendment or you have a dog in this fight that doesn't care about the constitution.
