Harpo Marx, Comedian, Musician, and Fighter for Jewish Rights

 Harpo Marx never spoke on screen, yet generations of Americans laughed at, cried with, and enthusiastically applauded him for his comedic genius and musical brilliance.

I’ve moved the Marx brothers since I was a kid. I was only, probably, 9 or 10 when I discovered them, and it may have been earlier. All of them were special men. But, I knew this article was written by a woman as soon as it said “we cried” with the Marx Brothers. No we didn’t. We laughed, and laughed a lot. That comment was yet another example of the (usually exclusively left wing) trait of emotionality as virtue. Conservatives need to en careful about following their virtue signaling cues.
