Jimmy Kimmel pulled from the air over false comment about Kirk murder

You didn't read it apparently. It's all good as it would go against your confirmation bias thought process.
I expected as much.
The point being that they are expressing there right to say whatever as long as it within their rights to do so. 
Have you ever been to a Trump rally?
Because if you had so then you would have noticed much more provocative swag.
And Incase you forgot asking if someone has passed is very much there right to do so.
But please do attempt to lecture us all on the freedom of speech granted to everyone.
I know I'm enjoying it!

I don't think that promoting the assassination of a sitting president is free speech.

It depends. According to Watts v United States, political hyperbole does not constitute an unlawful threat. Watts said "now I have already received my draft classification as 1-A and I have got to report for my physical this Monday coming. I am not going. If they ever make me carry a rifle the first man I want to get in my sights is L.B.J."

The majority opinion stated: “What is a threat must be distinguished from what is constitutionally protected speech. The language of the political arena … is often vituperative, abusive, and inexact.” and determined Watt's statement was "a kind of very crude offensive method of stating a political opposition to the President” that did not qualify as a true threat.

So, if someone, for example, said "If Donald Trump actually declares himself God-Emperor, he deserves a bullet between his eyes", that would be considered free speech, not an unlawful threat.

True.

But promoting the death of a president, any president, is not.

Saying, "I wish he was dead" is different than saying, "Go kill the president"

I think your interpretation is incorrect.
Your feelings are clouding your judgement.

No.

Saying "I wish the president was dead" is different than saying, "Go kill the president".

One is a personal wish.

The other is an incentive to commit murder.

YOUR link where it said 86 47.

Yes I know, it's ridiculous and funny that someone could possibly think otherwise. 
And a sheriff knows that. But he knows some people are just simply either too lazy or don't care enough to look that up. I guess you fell into one of those groups.
