"Hey, hey, hey! What’s with all the Flo hate on this thread? LOL"

Check out post #35. Info I did not know before. She is just very annoying to me. Don't know what shes like in real life. Now that I know she's an Obama lover (from post #35) I really can't stand her!!

Hard to believe that one of the commercials shows Flo allwoing the customer to take the price gun and “Name your own price”. Sounds very free-market, instead of prescribing what you need coverage for and demanding that you like it. (Like Obamacare will).

I'm sure that is some sort of phallic symbol in a fruedian or jungian sort of way....

Here is an old freep thread on the owner.

I’ll keep my Geico which I switched to recently from Allstate due to cost. The asshat that they had the balls to fire would probably get a bonus from Progressive.

If that is Liberty Mutual, there are a great company. I’ve been with them since 1976.

Just a guess . . .

He was probably fired for using the term ‘retard’ and not for suggesting that someone in the tea party movement would kill someone.

He has no case. If he posted on his blog that he is the voice over for Geico and then also ranted about what he did to freedom works Geico is a buisness and doesn’t want any controversy to interfere with their profits. Dude should’ve realized that there are many other voice over actors who need a job.

"the recent gay and racial slurs slung by Tea Party members at Congressman Barney Frank and Representative John Lewis during the Health Care Reform Weekend,"

Were these "Tea Party Members" or did he fall for the antics of infiltrators, and is now paying for it?

In either case, I’m liking Flo from the Progressive Insurance ads more and more!

Apparently you are not aware of what "Progressive" means. (hint. It ain't conservatism ...)

>> Sometimes you have a headline that makes the rest of the story superfluous, but here’s the background...

LOL - ain’t that the truth.
