He's not in any position to act on his opinions, nor are any of his listeners, and he certainly has no influence over those who would have the power to assassinate a foreign leader so I don't know what you mean about his inspiring people.
So you would have no problem with a US citizen suggesting that one assasinates a President of the United states? (Note to secret service - I am not in any way suggesting this - it would go against all my beliefs ), if said citizen does not have the means to carry out this assasination?
I mean if its OK to suggest killing a foreign elected state leader, then why shouldn't it be OK to suggest killing your own?
By the way, isn't there something about it being a crime to even suggest harming the president? I wonder why that is, if assasinations is an accepted political strategy?

Yep, that could also be the reasons for killing your own president, so I take it you would be OK with someone suggesting that?
