Unless what someone says actually affects the security of other people (i.e. a threat), then no not really.

I personally think the words are still deplorable, but I wouldn't want them to be illegal.
So do you believe it is impossible for somebody, using words, to convince another person to commit a violent act that they wouldn't have committed without hearing those words? Are all people who are incited to commit violence 100% absolutely -already going to be violent- no matter what anybody said?

Because if it possible for somebody, using words, to incite another person to violence who wouldn't have committed that violence without the words, I don't understand how you can argue that the person who said those words bears no responsibility for the violence that results. Especially when their -goal- in saying the words is to -incite violence-
