Clip from March 9, 2011, The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell where guests Robert Reich and, particularly, Howard Fineman expose the national Republican (GOP) anti-union strategy as an effort to draw President Obama into the fray to make him look "radical" to moderate 2012 election swing state voters.
Republicans care about two things and two things only: Thing #1 - things that benefit Republican politicians and their corporate buddies and Thing #2 -- Winning elections in order to keep themselves and their buddies fat.
In order to achieve #2, they have to resort to the sleaziest of tactics in order to fool the public because Republican ideas don't sell themselves.
