Citing Alleged Threats, FL Democrat Seeks to Ban ‘Hillary’s America’; Claims ‘Democrat Lives Matter
Gateway Pundit ^ | 7/28/16 | Kristinn Taylor

A Florida Democratic Party official is demanding the Central Florida town The Villages stop showing the Dinesh D’Souza film Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party because of alleged threats made to local residents who expressed support for the Democrats.

The call to ban Hillary’s America was reported by the Daily Commercial:

A top Democratic official in Sumter County has asked The Villages to stop playing a movie that he says portrays his party’s presidential nominee in a negative light and will incite violence against party members.

Joseph Flynn, a Democratic state committeeman and a Sumter County resident of the retirement community, said three residents in The Villages have been threatened with harm within the last week because of their expressed Democratic beliefs.

He said he feels the retirement community showing “Hillary’s America” will spark more threats. He said he met with a lieutenant from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office and The Villages management team early last week to convince them to stop the movie, to no avail.

“Hillary’s America” debuted at the Old Mill Playhouse in Lake-Sumter Landing in The Villages on Friday with dozens of patrons packing the theater during its first showing at 10 a.m., according to a theater manager.

“I have received a significant number of calls from people in Sumter County who viewed the trailer of this movie and voiced concern the movie will incite additional threats of violence against them and their property for being Democrats,” Flynn said. “Democrat lives matters”

Flynn said Friday he still was trying to set up a meeting with senior managers of The Villages to stop them from playing the movie.

…Flynn said that a Democratic sticker on a golf cart in The Villages elicited an “If I had my gun with me I would shoot you” response. He said another Democrat in The Villages who expressed her beliefs was threatened by someone who said they would shoot her with an AR-15.

Flynn said none of the incidents were reported to the sheriff’s office, which the sheriff’s lieutenant advised any victim to do in the future.”

D’Souza did not respond directly to the call to ban his film, instead he posted a link on Twitter to the Daily Commercial article.

Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers released a music video Saturday promoting the movie entitled “Stand Up And Say So (Hillary’s America).”

Video at link. So SJW's and other special snowflakes on the college campi aren't the only ones prone to being triggered and in need of "safe zones". I bet 30+ yrs ago this Dem operative from Sumter Cty, like many other progressive types then drove around in a beat up rusted out Volvo or VW Beetle held together with "Question Authority" bumper stickers. What happened?

If threats are being received, which is highly doubtful, they were probably planted by the Dems themselves, while calling themselves republicans. All she has done is help publicize the film even more.

But it’s OK when BLM shrieks. “Kill cops! Pigs in a blanket! Fry ‘em like bacon” and cops actually get killed.

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t see anything in the article connecting the threats to the movie.

When I took law in college, we were told we have freedom of speech except where it might harm others like yelling “Fire, Fire” in a crowded movie theater.
Seems like democrats are yelling “Truth. truth” in crowded movie theaters. Only Hillary and dimwitted democrats will be affected. STFU.

Never went to college Kozy, but that was my first thought, too. Freedom of Speech covers it all. We wouldn’t know about wrong doing if we didn’t get to shout it from the rooftops!

“If I had my gun with me I would shoot you” response. He said another Democrat in The Villages who expressed her beliefs was threatened by someone who said they would shoot her with an AR-15.

That's a straight up lie. If that really happened, then the police would have taken the person into custody for making a deadly threat and their name would be all over the news as a Trump supporter.

dems lie.

This leftist POS flynn can go FOAD. Play the movie, and if he doesn’t like it, him and his leftist ilk can all go to their safe space and take turns on the fainting couch.

What a GOOD little Soviet Commissar! STATEMENTS AGAINST THE STATE SHALL NOT BE TOLERATED!

Perhaps he can send Dinesh to the Gulag. Certainly some work camps can be created in Alaska!

They are alleging that once some nut bag bible totin’ gun lovin’ redneck cracker right wing extremist (are there any other kind?) views the history of the dnc, it will incite them to do something horrific. Like vote for Trump. Especially at “The Villages”. It’s rife with the aforementioned type folks. But, I thought it took a village.

Saw the movie yesterday with my wife. Dinesh D’Souza hit a Home Run with this one. Every single predictions in “Obama’s America” has come true; and the hints of corruption on Hillary are already verified by WikiLeaks.

His statements are not conjecture; and his historical research is beyond reproach. Facts are not opinions, and the facts tell a damnable story about the DNC that the DNC does not want spread. Send this movie to the broadest audience possible. Facts are indisputable as basic mathematics.

Uh, is this an attack on free speech? Uh, I think so. Besides this idiot Flynn ain’t concerned that it will be taken out on Demonrats in his area......he’s concerned that ALL will be able to think for themselves after seeing this film and possibly FLEE the Demonrat party. At least be truthful whilst stirring the shyt pot Mr. Flynn.....moron!

Just saw the documentary. It was excellent. I thought I knew all about slavery and the Democrats ... most of it I did, but I still learned a lot from it. He pointed out the Clinton Foundation connection very well. I’ve always wondered about the parallels to Evita. :-)
