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).”

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

As a lesson in REAL futility

Take EVERY BLM message and release it as from KKK.

Watch the INjustice Dept wake up then AND a great majority of Whites would be damning the message.
Of course not as many Whites would object today that would have been outraged 8 years ago — ALSO, 8 years ago a lot of Blacks would have openly damned the BLM.

Thanks BO.... You and your ‘togetherness’ has pushed Race Relations back 50 years. The Great Emancipator YOU AIN’T

In our theater, it is not unusual for a matinee to be one of 6 - 10 people in the theater. Today it was 2/3’s full. The only time I saw that kind of a response was for American Sniper and Obama 2016, his other film. Pretty amazing.

I know a retiree who lives in The Villages and he says it is overwhelmingly dominated by Republican retirees (according to him, maybe 98%) which would explain the false claims by the Democratic state committeeman Joseph Flynn.

Joseph Flynn is a white man living in extremely hostile injun territory...........

Because filing a false police report can get you jailed, while just plain lying usually can't.

Expect a statement from BLM expressing “outrage” and cries of racism for bastardizing their name...not!

Here in FL, I celebrated Hillary’s “historic” acceptance speech by spending part of Friday watching this film. I didn’t know some of the stuff about Alinsky or some of the specific details about the Clinton Foundation before. I can understand why the Orwellian thought police on the left want it shut down. This Flynn fellow sounds very paranoid in addition to being anti-free speech.

Oh, never fret about that. Hillary is looking for a a way to lock him back up again. Even as we type back and forth. Perhaps this time she will have her goons in her FBI kill him for “resisting” arrest.

You have to understand, A Democrat cannot help lying. It is in their DNA.

Actually, are the founders of the BLM movement the REAL rip-off artists?

The Historical Vehicle Assoc. started this campaign around 2010, a few years BEFORE BLM came into existence.
