It is indeed a slippery slope that we are on. On one hand we want to protect the honor of those who have won an award, but on the other hand we want to protect our right as citizens of this nation to say whatever we please.
Once the government steps in with a "you can't say that" clause it sets legal precedence and can lead to a whole string of abuses.
