Dude, easy...

Incite means to PROVOKE. He knew this would provoke people (because many people made that abundantly clear to him before he ignored them). There is a world of difference between "walking on eggshells" and deciding after a great deal of warning, that you want to commit a symbolic act to provoke a reaction from those you disagree with.

My point -- which you allude to later -- is that this test (intent, imminent, liklihood) seems to fall apart at the extreme -- because the unspooled guys get to define the line.

I also believe, that if you think my reading of the test is correct, that the soldiers families ought to THREATEN A MASSIVE VIOLENT REACTION to the Baptist Church if they continue this. They should go ape-nuts and stir up a huge media storm. Then, very cleverly with the cameras pointed, argue that the test for UNPROTECTED speech is "Intent, Imminence, and likelihood" and that the hateful speech of the Baptist Church is intended to incite them, and should therefore be restricted.

I'd love to see it!
