And what about calls for military intervention in Darfur. That's a call for violence isn't it?

What if I stand up and say "Those damn, damn Nazi's under Hitler! How I hate them! Any sane person would hate them and what they did. I'm glad we crushed their facist army and if any more Nazi's like that rise up, we should crush their armies again!"
That's pretty blatent incitement of hatred and violence. Do I go to prison for that?
