I doubt you will get any real answer for this....(sm)

Credibility of sources seems to be subjective on here.  However, my pet peeves are the ones that come out with some outrageous stuff from a writer with an obvious agenda and present that article as fact.  Jeff Rense is a good example of that.  He is not only conservative, but a nut as well. 

Another good example of this is the below post about *trickle-up poverty.*  Since she won't state her source or the meaning of the term, I decided to look it up (as MS suggested).  Seems that the phrase was coined by Michael Savage, a conservative radio talk show host.  Right now he's running third, right behind Rush and Hannity.

Here's what he said -- not what I would consider credible:

"Trickle-Up" Poverty: The New
Economics of Barack Obama

The liberal media talking heads are already proclaiming that a Barack Obama victory will be revolutionary. Revolutionary is right. The last great revolution took place in Russia. Within a year of the Russian Revolution in 1917, the communist leader Lenin brought the Russians change they could believe in. He created an economic system in which:

• All industry was nationalized and strict centralized management was introduced.
  
• Obligatory labor duty was imposed onto "non-working classes" or people who had money. Food was rationed and centrally distributed.
  
• Military-like control of railroads was introduced.
  
• Private enterprise became illegal.

After Stalin took over the Soviet Union, he:

• Imposed a state-run system of socialized medicine
  
• Formed a strict, centralized cultural administration and ideological control system – in other words, reeducation.

There is every reason to believe that some kind of socialist revolution will occur under B.O. Bush has already imposed socialism on the banks, and Obama promises to do more of the same. The Soviets put people with money to work in factories.

Under Obama, the business owners in this country who drive the economy will be put to work by being forced to pay crushing taxes that will fund gold-plated healthcare for illegal aliens and welfare cases. Private enterprise may not actually be made illegal, but so many businesses will die under an Obama administration that the same goal will be accomplished. Instead of trickle-down economics, we’ll have trickle-up poverty.

We already know Obama will impose socialized medicine – that is a given. And reeducation will come in the form of the Fairness Doctrine, which Nancy Pelosi will push through the Congress by stressing the need to foster unity and avoid destabilizing the markets with hurtful and unbalanced commentary.This is what the future holds under B.O.

I expect to be called a bunch of names after people don't even bother to read it or watch the video.

But thank you for such a nice, civil comment.  They're hard to come by these days on this board. 

Especially considering Bush's fondness of scare tactics.  I don't know if she drinks or not (I've often thought she looked, sounded and acted drunk), which makes me wonder if she might have one too many someday and spill the beans.  Either way, she doesn't seem like a very stable person.

I'm sorry about your career.  You weren't one of those CIA whistle blowers, were you?  We've all seen, through this administration at leas, that honesty in government is a big no-no, and if anyone tries to divulge their dirty tricks, they're lives are destroyed.

it either.  Probably pulled off some Fox website.  the post is not for discussion.   You are supposed to read the quotes pulled out of their  context and say to yourself, Wow, he is a black man.  He is not like me.  He scares me.  I am afraid.  I will vote for the elderly white man even if he cares not a whit about my life.  It is a basic crude, race baiting post.
