Then toss out all laws about slander, libel, etc.

Scream "Fire" in a crowded theater just for fun; you're now protected to rant at will, no matter the consequences.

Declare an intent to do harm to all sorts of high ranking folks.

Lie about the benefits of your snake oil.

According to the argument put forth: All of that is A-OK.

Following this line of thought then what basis is there for any -- ANY -- law?

The government (by consent of the people) puts limitations on speech of various sorts in order to the benefit the citizenry as a whole.

Belief that all persons will always do good and should be left fully free to exercise whatever whims pop into their (its) head is, at best, naive.
