PRWeb.com is reporting that voice over actor D.C. Douglas has been canned from GEICO for calling FreedomWorks and saying some very not nice things:
Los Angeles actor, D.C. Douglas, says he was dropped from the upcoming GEICO Shocking News campaign after a group of Tea Party members harassed him and the insurance giant over a private voicemail the actor left for FreedomWorks. Matt Kibbe, President and CEO of FreedomWorks, posted Mr. Douglas cell phone number in a blog post on biggovernment.com, instructing readers to Feel free to contact (him) call his employer too. Let them know that you are now in the market for car insurance. The next day, GEICO held auditions to replace Mr. Douglas voice on the campaign .
I called as a private citizen to make a complaint, explains Mr. Douglas. Racism and homophobia are my Achilles heal, but unfortunately my message included inappropriate words and I am sorry for that. However, telling their members to harass my employer to get me fired is an egregiously disproportionate response to my actions.
So this D.C. Douglas guy is upset that the TEA Party is racist and homophobic, yet he feels it OK to call FreedomWorks and ask how many people that work there are mentally retarded? Hes doing exactly what the Tea Party is supposedly doing, calling names. I went over to this fools website and I found this lovely graphic:

Good post! We are not “afraid” of a bunch of limp-wristed rump rangers (even the muscular ones in leather jackets;), just sickened by their disgusting “activities” and attempts to make those activities appear normal!!
Progressive insurance is also a major Dem donor.
Greta Van Sustern said on her Fox show tonight - "On The Record" - that, yes, D.C. Douglas is the guy that said: "15 minutes will save you 15% on your car insurance" on the GEICO commercials.
I believe he dated Ambient.
