telling their members to harass my employer to get me fired is an egregiously disproportionate response to my actions.”

No it's not....actions can have consequences, dork.

[throwback]

If this is the end of the lizard commercials, the Tea Party is an even greater force for good than I thought.

[SnakeDoctor]

If you remember it, it worked. People say Geico — and everyone thinks of the gecko, the caveman, and the googly-eyed money ... that is the mark of a successful advertising campaign.

Good! Now how do we get rid of that stupid googly eyed stack of money?

Step on it...

“Racism and homophobia are my Achilles heal...”

Yo uber prick:

“Racism” has nothing to do with the Tea Party Movement. Absolutely nothing. But then the vast majority of those that hurl the incredibly tired and shopworn “racism” accusation, have absolutely no understanding of the word’s true meaning.

Regarding “homophobia”. Exactly what is that? Most conservatives are totally against the mainstreaming of perversion, but don’t feel that queers should be held criminally liable for their behavior. Additionally, none of us fear fags per se, we just resent the acquiescence to the extremely marginal view that a sick behavior that has been shunned over 5000 years of human history, is now in the “enlightened” progressive view, suddenly perfectly acceptable, even a badge of honor.

...after a group of Tea Party members harassed him...

Odd that they fired him because he was harassed by Tea Party folks. Amazing how they are continue to make the Tea Party the bad guys.

GEICO is a Warren Buffet/Berkshire Hathaway company.

I clicked on his webpage, and one of his demos was of himself on NPR with Rachel Maddow. Some totally unfunny bit that had her laughing her balls off.

He started it. He called them out as murderers. That is a pretty offensive (and threatening) voice mail.

Sociologists actually have made the point that it isn’t a “phobia” at all. But the media and therefore public keeps using this term because it’s more emotionally charged. The correct term is “heterosexism.” Personally I don’t really care what technical term people use, but that’s why it’s still called that.

Link seems to be dead.

[a fool in paradise]

Since he alleged concern that they were going to run a spin campaign when one of the Freedom Works followers “kills someone”, he is heterophobic.

[skeeter]

Add spelling to that list.

I agree. That was my point.

[AGreatPer]

There are certain companies I won't even consider doing business with because of their stupid advertising.

Geico is one of them.
Progressive is another with that red lips idiot.
