...rhetoric wasn't fancy, but it was on target. The G.O.P. is a party, after all, that owes its post-Barry Goldwater resurgence to opposition to civil rights.

They're too genteel for a sheet-wearing bigot like David Duke but all too willing to embrace bigotry if it's dressed in a suit...
Kevorkian, however, is the only one who has stepped forward to proclaim himself a mercy killer on national TV. A retired pathologist, he first came to prominence in 1990 when he helped a relatively healthy 54-year-old woman with Alzheimer's disease kill herself with a suicide machine of his invention.
