Besides, Our Forefathers weren't constant idiotic enemy gratifying leftists or just plain morons.

If he made such a speech in front of a hostile audience and achieved a violent reaction, then, yeah, it could possibly be conceived as "inciting a riot". But in this case it was simply a published opinion.

While our Founding Fathers should be admired, remember that Sam Adams, the great rabble rouser and propogandist wanted the leaders of Shay's Rebellion executed. These men were veterans of the Revolution who simply wanted the money and/or land promised to them by the Congress and received nothing for their efforts. So here we have a situation where one of the founders of the American Revolutionary movement wanted a similar revolutionary movement crushed with extreme prejudice.

Preaching to the choir won't achieve anything. Anyone who is so opposed to his opinion should tell him directly.
