You would protect one's "liberties" of treason, slander, and incitement to ethnic cleansing

In the U.S. there are laws against treason, slander, as well as libel. Ratbastid's fire in a theatre is a good example of speech that is not allowed. A false exclamation causing immediate reaction falls under fraud laws.
As far as bigoted speech, if someone is dull enough to buy into it, they were bound for failure in life. Rarely do you see a bigot driving a Porsche. I heard it all the time growing up in the south. I never bought into it. People in the U.S. should be allowed to say the N word, call Jewish people money lenders, and me a cracker. People can wear an "I'm With Stupid" tee shirt if they want. It lets normal people know not to associate.
That paradigm doesn't work in some nations.
