That's what makes me uncomfortable about the "incitement" exceptions to the freedom. It's basically saying speech that asks someone to do something illegal is itself illegal. What determines what is legal? The government. By outlawing certain behaviors it seems like it would be a short jump to outlaw advocacy of that behavior by allowing such exceptions.
