Whatever you say man. I just think it's a little odd that you trumpet the Constitution so much, then turn around and call free speech that is critical of a bigot infringement. I have to confess that your convoluted logic stating that your fear of the government restricting his speech IN THE FUTURE through a new law passed in reaction due to the support of angry protestors means that the speech of his detractors magically qualifies as infringing under the first Amendment in the present....I dunno. Not making sense to me. At all. And I didn't call you a bigot, -it struck me as quite strange I confess. You seem to be taking on position that you fear the government would adopt in response, -labeling perfectly legal and Constitutionally protected speech as something that is not protected and runs afoul of the Constitution.
