it isn't marx. it's some country yahoo hallucinating what he imagines marx to have said. that doesn't mean some bircher didnt manage to get it read into the congressional record. and that it's in the congressional record only means that someone read it into the congressional record. it coulda been at 2 in the morning with a tape recorder in attendance. probably was.
i'm not quite sure where the "hoax" part comes in.
i have books on my shelf about 10 feet from me from the early 60s written by bircher schizophrenics that say close to the same thing.
it's about the particular hallucinations of the john birch society. it's about the fast-and-loose-with-the-facts world of the american right. straight line.
