Verbal assault should be actionable. IMO.
What do you mean by "verbal assault"?

If I call TP a lying SOB, is that verbal assault?

How about if I say that about Bush? Clinton?

If I say Clinton lied about having sex with Monica, is that verbal assault?

How about one of Vidrine's harangues against Jews?

Or one the equivalent harangues against Muslims that have been posted?

That slope you're standing on is mighty slippery. I like that Supreme Court's stance (at least until now); If the exercise of free speech does not create clear and present danger of violence, it's legal.

Remember, any ground you abandon, the gov't will happily take.
