Let's cut to the chase. Do you or do you not think that a politician has a Constitutional right to be a vocal advocate of a non-legislative boycott?

A politician has a Constitutional right to to be a vocal advocate of a nonlegislative boycott.

U-bet.

To the same extent that a local crime lord has the Constitutional right to publicly say "You know that FreeReign character? The world would be a better place if he was dead, you know what I mean?".

I know New Jersey RAT politicians are pretty sleazy, but I'll ask you this?

If the local crime lord said "that the world would be a better place if the doofus SauronOfMorder were dead, you know what I mean", you would equate the risk of bad intentions from that remark similar to the risk of bad intentions if (let's say) a local politician solicited you and your business on the phone for a campaign contribution??

And similarly, Freepers have the Constitutional right to respond to such utterances with calls for the the politician's censure and/or removal from office.
