In order for the Tories to 'officially' appeal to their conservative base, they are better off painting Iggy as a Liberal, because I would imagine a majority of Tory supporters actually agree with Iggy's controversial comments.
My guess is a right wing blogger felt that if liberals could be scared away by bringing up Harper's past, it could work just as easily by doing the same to Iggy.
