I would strongly suggest a more careful look at history. Most rights were relative from the get go. Slander and libel have been illegal under certain circumstances for centuries, and slander and libel would be covered under an absolute right to free speech.

the fallacy is thinking that lying about someone/something is the same thing as the freedom of speech or protest. It's the same thing as thinking that yelling fire in a theater, when there is no fire, is considered free speech. One has nothing to do with the other and the comparison is total lunacy on your part.
