Disparagement provision placed be placed on speech itself. It has historically been much more tied to First Amendment values, to the incentivizeation of Free Expression. Part of that seems to me to ignore the fact that we have a culture in which we had tshirts and logos and rock bands and so forth are expressing the point of view they are using the market to express views.
