Plotting and committing political murders are already crimes, let's not conflate these with abhorrent speech.

No, let's. Organizing for the murder of a large number of people is as bad as or even even worse than calling for the deaths of individuals.
I don't know how you do that moral calculus, but it doesn't matter because it's still not a reason to constrain speech. At best, it's a reason to apply a hate crime magnifier to the murder/conspiracy charge.
I refuse to legitimize calls or organization for genocide as an acceptable speech act.
So brave.
