GEICO Fires Voice Over Guy For Insulting the Tea Party
Three Fingers of Politics ^ | April 21, 2010 | Stupac

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?” He’s doing exactly what the Tea Party is supposedly doing, calling names. I went over to this fool’s website and I found this lovely graphic:

“The correct term is “heterosexism.””

####

Still sounds like heterosexuals are the ones with the problem.

The correct term is “normal”.

Maybe we could arrange for the black “straight man” in the Aflac commercials (the middle-aged guy who never says anything) to step on the gecko.

She probably would be if it weren’t for the funky hair and overdone makeup.

Good, now I have yet another reason to stick with Erie insurance (aside from the fact they’re a lot cheaper if you want more than minimal coverage).

Is this the gecko or the announcer?

Neither. He's a minor figure. In one series of ads, he's the guy who says, "Susie Schmockmeyer is an actual GEICO customer, not a celebrity. So we hired a celebrity..."

Er...OK

I will say that I like the Flo commercials. However, I don't even consider Progressive as an insurance alternative even though they have many offices and their HQ here locally and I try to support local businesses.

Google up Peter Lewis, the now-wealthy flaming libtard that founded/runs the company. Mega ACLU funder, Mao-worshipper, and general prick. He should have named his company "Dispicable Statist Freakshow", but "Progressive" fits better on business cards.

Yes, he doesn’t seem to understand what the metaphor “Achilles heel” actually means.
