It does not seem similar to yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater at all. Are these the worst things she said? Perhaps she said some things calling for criminal acts. I am sure there are border cases between obnoxious/false alarm and freedom of speech, though.
As far as I know she has just been accused of hurting peoples feelings. I'm still trying to find more sources and do some crosschecking. And you're right, this is apples and bowling balls different to yelling fire. Only isitme knows the reason he even brought that up.

The context is a internet forum like this one. Someone had said something to the effect that she had no problem with having non-white friends, and that was the defendants reply.
