Geico Ejects Moonbat Voiceover Guy

Geico fired their voiceover talent who is famous for the phrase “15 minutes and you can save 15% on car insurance.” He left a hateful message at Freedomworks calling their staffers and followers retarded.

From the Huffpo here:

Lance Baxter, better known as D.C. Douglas but perhaps best known as the voice of Geico commercials (“15 minutes could save you 15 percent or more on your car insurance”) has been fired by the insurance company after leaving a voicemail for Tea Party group FreedomWorks.

Douglas asked FreedomWorks in his voicemail what “the percentage of people that are mentally retarded who are working for FreedomWorks and who are following it,” or as he has since put it, he “inquired as to their intelligence level.”

In the voicemail, Douglas also questions how FreedomWorks will “spin it when one of your members does actually kill somebody, wondering if you’ve got a PR spinning routine planned for that or are you just gonna take it when it happens.”

In the aftermath, FreedomWorks president Matt Kibbe published a post on the conservative website biggovernment.com, providing readers with a recording of the voicemail — which included Douglas’s personal phone number — and encouraging people to call both Douglas and Geico to “let them know that you, in fact, are not a mentally retarded killer.”

According to a press release from Wednesday, Geico held auditions to replace Douglas the next day.

Of course Douglas is now threatening a LOLsuit over Freedomworks publishing his voicemail. As for the retarded person in this story? I’d say its the guy who leaves hateful messages on voicemail systems.
