Might be soon seeing as how it turns out Bergdahl’s parents have been Ron Paul supporters. That’s right, turns out they are conservative, libertarian-leaning Calvinist Christians, not “moozlim-lovin’ libtards”.

Heh, yeah, I’m guessing Rand is still unaware of that little detail at the moment. It’s gonna be fun watching him trying to squirm out of it when he realizes the Bergdhals were supporters of his dad.

BTW, in case anyone missed it, here’s the NY Times story Sam Stein was referring to in his tweet:

Both Mr. Bergdahl and his wife, Jani, said they were upset that although they had had good relations with the State Department and the Pentagon during the three years that their son has been missing, they had never heard from President Obama. The two are Ron Paul supporters and have turned increasingly against the war in Afghanistan, although they support the president’s plan not to withdraw most American troops until 2014.

“He has never contacted us,” Jani Bergdahl said about Mr. Obama. “We haven’t gotten a Hallmark card, we haven’t gotten a note signed by an aide, nothing. Is it because he thinks we’re not Democrats?” […]
