Default Freedom of Speech revisited

I support freedom of speech but have always felt that it is NOT an absolute, as Holmes pointed out, you can't call "fire" in a crowded theater if there is no fire and I think that "speech" designed to bring harm or pain to others goes over the line. Case in point...I hadn't checked the wackos at Westboro Baptist Church for awhile but i see their site is still up...and they are still picketing at the funerals of fallen service men and women. Just curious, is it just me or do they go over the line?
