I think Kaplan pretty much nailed it.

Kaplan didn't write that.

Yeah, I've never seen anyone try to pass that blog post off as being the work of "Kaplan from The New Yorker" before. But, that piece is definitely not the work of NY columnists Michael Kaplan or Thomas Kaplan.

And, I have no idea who the hell Roy Kaplan is, but he didn't write it either. Neither did Gabe Kaplan from Welcome Back Kotter.

That piece was written like a year or so ago by an obsessed anti-Obama hater, avid birther blogger, and yuge Trump supporter named Don Fredrick. Ref: http://thecompleteobamatimeline.com/index.html

The piece (wherein a couple of the points make some sense, to me) was plucked from the anti-government conspiracy theorist's Facebook page and circulated with a hoax claim that it was written by a high profile liberal writer, in order to inspire gullible people (who don't need no stinking attribution verification or source link) to feed the bullshit machine by passing it along as a credible and left-wing perspective.

I tried to check the source on snopes yesterday after CG said it wasn't his and they had the page down. It must have made it's rounds. Either way there's a lot of good points in the piece, whoever wrote it.
