I suspect the framers of the First Amendment did not believe that it gave us all the right to prevent someone from speaking by shouting them down. Nor did this get read into the Constitution in the last century. Holmes said the First Amendment does not give you the right to shout "fire" at a crowded Dean rally, and I think he would have not come out differently had the hypothetical involved LaRouche ravings instead.
