On the contrary, I think they were trying to qualify him by saying although a Republican he isn't particularly conservative (he's a Republican but not one of Those people, you know, wink wink). Because typically, this is the type of thing liberals love, to claim some name drop-able ancestry.

We will have to disagree here. Leftists see conservatives as being similar to dictators such as Hitler and Kahn..

Oh, I don't disagree with you there. But it is typical of liberals to apply that sort of intellectual dishonesty such as ignoring someone's true nature- witness their adoration of Stalin and Che and Castro etc. However, I did go back and reread that portion, and I missed the qualifier (He has little in common with his infamous ancestor... // ...Though a Republican...). So I was definitely mistaken in this case.
