    I assume you are right, but has anyone actually tried it?

    *goes to check wikipedia*

    In Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), even speech such as “Bury the removeds” and “Send the Jews back to Israel,” was held to be protected speech under the First Amendment in a per curiam decision.

    Oh. I guess I was right to assume that you were right in saying that it’s not a viable defense to things like that. Ugh. Depressing. I was so hoping to be wrong in assuming you’re right.
