Though this is qualitatively worse than what he has said before, it's more like he gradually drifted to that end of the dank pool, over the course of years... what I'm saying is I was not surprised he would go to "slut-shaming". And likely, if he didn't hit the big red button of "she's a slut, so I wanna see her sex-tape", this would probably be simply part of the package of every other conservative's rancorous remarks on contraception. And honestly, he wasn't alone as he drifted there... This is one of the things that Breitbart will endure as his legacy, as he helped turn this culture war with Limbaugh and Beck and the others into something as vicious and vindictive as it is now. -- TV or Not TV ....
