Given that the poster was claiming Rod Beckstrom as the inspiration for the Tea Party, I did not consider the actual contents of the book very relevant since the fallacies in the original post are that the Tea Party is a decentralized movement and that its organization is somehow novel.
It is a matter of record that the major tea party events reported in the mainstream media were organized by Fox News and 'Freedom Works'.

Well afaik we should ask Robert Fisk about it.
But Phillip has the tendency to also post comments (top, bottom,
inline, sideways and upside down) without reading the source he is
making the comment about, like @CircleID regarding Beckstrom's book
"The Starfish and Spider" (read the book it's quite interesting).
Perhaps we'll get a better picture about "fisking" with a video blog ...
