Never let it be said that the Rethuglicans would waste any opportunity to turn anything…repeat, anything…into an opportunity to politicize and partisanize and disrespect this President.

The Republicans—who have spent August re-living the Florida 2000 Brooks Brothers riots with the 2009 edition: tea parties and rants at town halls—now that it’s back-to-school time in America, are busily attacking the President’s upcoming talk to the kids about education.

Let’s be clear. When a Republican governor in oh, say, Minnesota, attacks the President’s speech to children and there’s talk of not allowing any school in Minnesota to air the speech, that’s not only anti-education…and anti-history…and anti-American…it is racist.

So if that’s the campaign strategy folks like Tim Pawlenty see as the route to success in 2012, all I can say is: enough.

And to those who have in some quarters finally started asking if the Rethuglicans have no shame, the answer is no. All they have is no.

And that’s what you need to know each and every time a Republican politician or pundit speaks these days. They offer nothing except divide and destruct.

Republicans are the party of "We ain’t got nuttin’ but no…."
