NY Times, NowThis accused of trying to 'cancel' Susan B. Anthony, Dems blast Trump pardon
Fox News ^ | 08/18/2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

President Trump’s posthumous pardon of Susan B. Anthony did not receive the warmest welcome from Democrats and members of the media.

On Tuesday, the president marked the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, which gave the women the right to vote, by granting a pardon of the famed suffragette, who was arrested in 1872 for violating laws that had permitted only men to vote in the presidential election and was later convicted for voting illegally and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and court costs.

However, an excerpt in The New York Times report on the pardon raised eyebrows. It said of Anthony: “She is also an increasingly divisive figure, adopted by anti-abortion forces and criticized for relegating (b)lack suffragists to the sidelines.” […]

The liberal outlet NowThis later in the day shared a video explaining “why Susan B. Anthony doesn’t deserve your ‘I Voted’ stickers, highlighting the tradition of women voters who place such stickers on Anthony’s gravestone.”

“They have perpetuated idealized versions of Anthony and her white colleagues such as Carrie Chapman Catt and Elizabeth Cady Stanton,” NowThis producer Luria Freeman said. “Evidence of their ruthless racial bias has been pushed to the shadows, enabling the erasure of their women of color counterparts who also fought tirelessly for the right to vote.” …

The dems are simply Pavlovian at this point, they have to whine and complain about literally everything Trump does. They have no control over the impulse.

I knew about their little clique not allowing black women into their arms. And I don't think the old bitty ever paid the fine. And let's be real...it was about 20 years AFTER she died that women got the vote.

Once again....a bone for the media....and they're fighting over it. When will they learn.

She was not the most loved woman in Rochester.

… [Karl Marx] envisioned a regimented breed of Pavlovian men whose minds could be triggered into instant action by signals from their masters.

He wanted a race of men who would no longer depend upon free will, morals, ethics or conscience for guidance.

Perhaps without realizing it, Marx was setting out to create a race of human beings conditioned to think like criminals. …

— The Naked Communist, chapter 2
Funny you say “Pavlovian”. After all, the left does not believe that humans have free will, but whatever they do is in response to their environment and if the environment can be manipulated, so can humanity.

>> “She is also an increasingly divisive figure, adopted by anti-abortion forces and criticized for relegating (b)lack suffragists to the sidelines.” […]

How queer, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger preached eugenics and black genocide to white supremacists.

How odd that the writers would omit so much history and bias the rest?

The Left was trying to use today to hype “anniversary of the women’s right to vote” and this trolling has thrown a monkeywrench in their talking points.

Yep. POTUS stole a march on the Dems. The do-nothing GOPe could learn from this but they won’t.

Given the crap Pelosi is going to pull next Monday in the House when the RNC starts, I hope he does. This time, pardon someone who will really piss off the left.

The GOPe are the allies of the Dems. Their job is to steal votes from conservatives by lying about being conservative themselves.

Do you not observe that the Dems launch their counterclaims before the last echo of Trump’s last syllable announcing whatever he’s announcing has echoed off the wall in the room he announces it in? It IS Pavlovian, they have no choice but to attack Trump on every point; or to say nothing. No Dem other than Biden expressed any positive sentiment over the Israel-USE deal; and Biden took or tried to take credit for it, goofball that he is.

Skousen was right when he said that they are “conditioned to think like criminals”. Everything is the lowest common denominator in their world; end justifies the means.
