These could be classified as 'fighting words' (from Wikipedia)
Fighting words are written or spoken words, generally expressed to incite hatred or violence and to place the targets of the words in danger of harm. Specific definitions, freedoms, and limitations of fighting words vary by jurisdiction. It is also used in a general sense of words which when uttered create (deliberately or not) a verbal or even physical confrontation by their mere usage.

Fighting words are not protected speech but the Supreme Court has a long history of overturning convictions due to the nuances of the cases.
