    The concept has been mainstreamed in recent years, promoted — in a form stripped of its anti-Semitic elements — by a number of supposedly mainstream conservatives. We knew we had heard the phrase bandied about the past couple of years on Fox News, and went looking in Google to find out where we had heard it.

    Originally we thought the chief culprit would be Glenn Beck, who has indeed made a fetish out of Marxism on his show. But the chief promoter of the concept of “Cultural Marxism” on Fox News was none other than Andrew Breitbart:

    Breitbart has made a number of attacks on “Cultural Marxism” as a liberal phenomenon — such as his insistence that “political correctness is Cultural Marxism”. Indeed, Breitbart has made something of a fetish about using the phrase. Likewise he has made something of a fetish out of “Frankfurt School” theories.

    And as you can see from the above video, he got a nice national platform to promote the concept back in 2009 on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show — twice. This is a classic form of what acting as a “media transmitter,” repackaging ideas that originated on the racist/anti-Semitic Far Right and injecting them into the mainstream.
