Golf cart chaos in Florida! (The Villages)

Ed McGinty is a “well known” political activist, according to the Village News, who “was parked in his golf cart in the grassy area by Odell Circle with signs on his golf cart that read “Trump Is A Sexual Predator,” “Trump Filthy Pig,” “Trump Compulsive Liar,” “Trump Bigot and Racist” and “Hitler And Trump Exactly Same DNA.”

The threats only served to inspire McGuinty, who lives in a city of 122,000 people that is quite literally owned by Republicans and is one of the most heavily GOP registered places in Florida. It is also one of the party’s fastest-growing areas as retirees flock to a community better known for grandparents known for excessive binge drinking and who regularly get DUIs in golf carts.

“He called me a pig!” Hill screamed as two Sumter County sheriff’s deputies arrived to speak with McGinty. “He called me a pig for no reason because I asked him why he thought the president was a sexual predator.”
“That’s blasphemy,” she said of McGinty’s signs about Trump. “You don’t say that about the president of the United States.”
Sadly for Hill, the Sumner County deputies refused to violate McGinty’s free speech rights under the First Amendment and informed him that they’d received numerous complaints about his protests and he’s free to keep doing so just as long as he doesn’t block the golf cart paths.

When will the Villages be on Live PD?? That would be entertaining!

1. Blasphemy: speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things

Seems like calling criticism of a president ‘blasphemy’ is actual blasphemy. Bet she committed plenty of ‘blasphemy’ when Obama was president.

4. That quote immediately jumped out for me as well.

Is she too stupid to know the meaning of the word or does she consider Trump a deity?

[tanyev]

9. It's certainly possible she's accepted Donald J. Trump as her lord and savior.

16. Plenty of Christian churches are preaching

that God put Trump into office as President to implement God's will. That's one reason why we have so many Christians acting like support for Trump is a tenet of the Christian faith. They believe that opposition to Trump is exactly the same as opposition to God.

7. I've heard the Villages has one of the highest STD rates in Florida...

12. Yes, I just wrote that on another post.

"Two of my friends moved there 6 months ago.
I never heard of it before and Googled it. I think one of the rules is that if you are under 55 you can only visit there for a month (that would not be a problem for me). They all drive golf carts instead of cars, they are super RW and unfortunately all vote in every election. I was told by two people who live in FL that it is also the STD capital of the country....those seniors are very sexually active. Thank god they can't reproduce even more RW nuts. My friends are Dems and don't have a problem living there (yet). I will NOT be visiting them in the future."

3. I could never live there though i do love warm weather, fishing and golf.

But I'd kill myself to have to deal with those assholes everyday.

5. Same here. I could never live in a "planned" community,

that would introduce shit for me that I want no part of.

6. Imagine all the MAGA hats being proudly worn there. I'd puke.

[Blue_true]

10. I live in a red county. I see MAGA hats every once in a while.

Surprisingly, most people here, including republicans, don't have gun or political stuff on their clothing or vehicles. There are a lot of oldline republicans here, the county used to be super-red, but now Democrats and Independents outnumber republicans, though the Indies either don't vote much or lean republican.

11. Many thousands (millions?) of republicans are wearing red hats that say America is not great.

In great big letters.

Ask them what countries they are going back to.

15. Are there any similar retirement communities that are "blue"?

I'm retired, but I haven't learned "line dancing" whatever that is.

13. Marsha Hill posted a video from her point of view on twitter. Now her twitter account is closed

people have tracked her to her facebook account though. #istandwithEd is going viral

[littlemissmartypants]

17. She has protected her account. Coward. nt

14. Blashphemy?? Isn't that reserved for people who oppose Gods?
