GEICO has a perfect right to hire and fire whomever they please. They want to sell insurance to moonbats and rightwingers and everyone else. They do not chose to appeal to a niche market. If one of their more prominent spokesmen appears to be criticizing a figure who is sacrosanct to about 30% of their potential customers, they should be expected to fire him.

You have a right to your opinions. You do not have a right to a job.

I remember. Geico also donated radar guns to police departments around the country while having a strict policy of increasing insurance rates if you are caught speeding.

GEICO has a perfect right to hire and fire whomever they please.

And Conservatives have a perfect right to buy insurance from somebody else, and let them know why. Let the wars begin, and may the righteous side win.
