No

But yes as in the "you do not yell fire in a theater example". I am very much against PC rules of speech.

What part of "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech" do people not understand?

The comparisons of threatening the President, committing perjury or yelling "fire" in a crowded theater have no place in this debate. If you honestly can't see the difference between the right of a person to espouse their beliefs, and inciting panic or threatening people, then you are too stupid for me to spend any time with.

No

I would fear the censors much more than the censored. One can turn off, or turn away and offending word, but it is the ones that determine the offending word can not be turned off. And what if you are next to meet the censor? And then what happens?
