I think (and I emphasize "think") that there is a legal difference between saying I will lynch Obama and having subjective "art" that suggests as much. If you had a painting of a crown with a bullet going through it, would it mean you literally wanted to assassinate the queen? I would also submit that my example is far more literal than what is in question here.
