In 2008 DEMOCRAT joe crowley sponsored a bill to award her with the Congressional Gold Medal, and under the leadership of pelosi and harry reid, she was approved by a unanimous vote.
cool. so after receiving the award 13 years ago it has been found that she no longer holds the values of that award, and now it’s she’s being stripped of it. sounds like the right thing is happening.
but somehow, Obama McCain Clinton.

Regardless of what she did later in life it appears she actually did something to earn her NBPP unlike her cited admirer above.
Revoking her awards however is completely proper in light of her contributions to the genocide and refusal to speak out against the atrocities that went on for years while she was in gov’t.
I’m trying to figure the purpose of this thread and I’m coming up with nothing but a word that begins with a “t”.

President Bush Signs H.R. 4286, Congressional Gold Medal: Daw Aung San Suu Kyi
THE PRESIDENT: I just signed a bill passed by the leaders of the Senate and House who have joined me to honor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi with the Congressional Gold Medal.
This is a fitting tribute to a courageous woman who speaks for freedom for all the people of Burma, and who speaks in such a way that she’s a powerful voice in contrast to the junta that currently rules the country.
There were 65 REPUBLICAN co sponsors of the Bill to award Kyi the Congressional Gold Medal.
Q Mrs. Bush, why such an historic interest? This is a first, for a First Lady to come to this podium and talk about a cyclone. Why such a historic interest?
MRS. BUSH: Well, you know I’ve been interested in Burma for a long time. It started really with an interest in Aung San Suu Kyi and reading her works and just the story of a Nobel Prize winner who’s been under house arrest for so long, whose party was overwhelmingly elected in an election and then never able to take office. And so it started with an interest in her, and then just the more I’ve seen, the more critical I see the need is for the people in Burma to be – for the world to pay attention to the people of Burma, and for the world to put pressure on the military regime.

Oh my!
This was an interesting pile for the OP to step into. Myanmar has been a cluster for presidency after presidency. This is a bipartisan â– â– â– â– up

Who knew, the Pope is a Democrat.
Hey, when one is trying desperately to recoup some sense of balance after the revelations of the past few days stepping in a pile is not all that important.
Thinking one has made some political score on the opposition is all that is important, no matter how deluded their thinking is.
