41. More or less.
My opinion is that Rense is crap and that using original material posted on his site as a basis for any kind of discussion is a bad idea, because he lends support to holocaust deniers (amongst his other transgressions.) There's nothing wrong with citing an AP article you found on Rense, but then Rense isn't really the source.

I'm not even necessarily saying that anyone who patronizes the site is a fool. I'm saying that anyone who believes that his silly disclaimer negates the general slant and content of the site is a fool.
