I'd say blaming the US for 911 is a pretty good litmus test. I'd say spreading leftist propaganda is a good one.

It's like believing the Jenin massacre happened (but Ron Paul probably believes that as well).

Yes, what do the dems call them Kitchen issues or something like that.
Dems want to focus on Kitchen-table issues too.
As Terry McAulife said, "People are going to vote on the kitchen table issues we've talked about for 18 months."
