Late breaking Exclusive DU: Kaplans twitter reveals distaste for Ras, affection for O'Keefe

[grantcart]

His twitter account has been identified and appears genuine as it has pictures of his son on them consistent with other photos, by someone named clownseven (ironically Kaplan's last comment at DU he was called a clown and made a comment "from a clown&quot

I would guess that just about anybody can now see that Gravis Marketing was a set up from the beginning.

The guy doesn't even like to be robo called, lol.

I am travelling tomorrow and cannot read it all but here are a couple of interesting

excerpts

There are a lot of pro Israel postings like this one, probably 90% are related to Israeli issues:

Pollard received the same sentence as Aldrick James and Robert Hansen. People did because of them. Pollard did the same thing sandy Berger

Some on the left seem so happy about the wiki leaks files. I guess some love to see America hurt. It is Christmas for Mother Jones and Crew.

and then there is this priceless gem

[ohheckyeah]

1. Actually he has a son....

I posted his Facebook link and another of his websites on the other post you had.

That's his Friendfeed because he says on his Facebook account he loves dobermans and that's a doberman on that friendfeed account.

[grantcart]

3. sadly the doberman died, its in the tweet.

[ohheckyeah]

4. Okay -

I didn't catch the Tweet.

[oldhippydude]

2. thank you my friend.. safe passage traveling..n/t

5. I missed the other thread

9. That answers one of the questions "When did Garvis start?" Jan 10th

His interview on Russian English Language station was only 11 days later January.

Wow that is a great find.

I wonder what Nate Silver will think about a national pollster who spent all of his time before his launch watching Casey Anthony on HLN.

what a find.

[sabrina 1]

13. It's beginning to sound more and more like he was hired in January

like James O'Keefe was hired way back when, to do this 'work'. I wonder if his financial situation has improved since January?

He's tweeting O'Keefe, respects Beck, hates Wikileaks and Carter etc. This is definitely a Right Winger who most likely was hired to do this 'work' just in time for the election. However, he doesn't sound smart enough to have accomplished his new found 'fame' on his own.

Great work outing this guy.

Has anyone else picked up on it yet? How about Nate, anyone send it to him or to Rachel Maddow or Current. I wish Keith was still on the air. He is on twitter and does have a huge following, maybe I will try to get it to him on Twitter and others should also.

[speedoo]

16. Hired by whom?

And I have difficulty believing believing he is actually. Conducting any polls.

10. late night kick

11. Great work - again!

I'm doing some very early morning work here in Houston (still moping about the Texans game), and I might take a little detour to see what is up with our friend Douggy.

12. Don't know if you already had this stuff.

Mr. Kaplan is also president of Basalt Systems Inc., another Florida Corporation set up on the same day as Gravis Marketing. Basalt has the same address, just a different suite number (1330 instead of 1042).

Also, the Florida Department of Financial Services does not show either Basalt Systems or Gravis marketing as being a current subscriber to workers compensation, a fact that would tend to support few/no employees (granted, if they do have folks calling or compiling results from calls, such workers often are listed a "contract employees" to allow their employers to shirk the burden of paying workers compensation, taxes, etc.).

OK, I gotta go back to work.

There also was the compllaint in rip off report about his actions as an employer.

17. Yes he has a very strong Pro Israel interest and on his other twitter it appears that

he was obsessed with the Casey Anthony story and had dozens of tweets about that right up until he suddenly launched Gravis Marketing.
