Is the Geico Gecko a Tea Party Crasher Too?

Why would the voice of Geico Insurance (“Save $50 dollars or more…”) attack the staff and followers of FreedomWorks as “mentally retarded?” Does he really think that the good men and women who make up the tea party movement – mothers and daughters, grandparents and grandchildren – are all potential murderers that will inevitably “actually kill someone?”
Better yet, how many of these “mentally retarded” killers opted to save $50 dollars or more on their car insurance.
Last week, the FreedomWorks press department received a voicemail from a man identifying himself as Lance Baxter. This is what Lance has to say:

We called back to verify Lance’s identity. He said he was busy, but thanked us for the call and said he’d call back. When he didn’t, we followed up to make sure his question had been answered:

Lance Baxter (AKA D.C. Douglas) is a noted voiceover actor. When he is not making creepy harassing calls to groups like FreedomWorks, he is the voice at the end of the Geico commercials.
Feel free to contact Lance. He was so kind to provide his number in the voicemail. Call his employer too. The customer service line for Geico is 800.871.3000.
Let them know that you, in fact, are not a mentally retarded killer, but that you are now in the market for car insurance.
What a bunch of horse shit. You don't really believe that crap do you?
Of course she does. She is one of the most virulent anti-Americans we have on this forum...
Feral: of, relating to, or suggestive of a wild beast <feral teeth> <feral instincts>
feralmama has really sunk her teeth into us, ripping and tearing at all that was good in this country, and trying her best to run Patriots down any way she can, including making sure we get called disgusting names as often as possible.
I'm thinking she is a .gov plant. Notice her join date? She came here with a ***t load of hatred for Americans who don't want to tow the new commie .gov line, an agenda to put Patriots down as often as possible...
or maybe she's just one of those poor deluded "folks" from huffpo or glp.
I can't see why she wastes her time here knowing most of us are polar opposites to her, other than she delights in being nasty.
She is one of the only posters I have ever seriously thought of putting on ignore.
She's hardly worth pitying, and I can tell you this, I just had to delete some choice things I said about her cuz I don't want to get arrested...
REPOSTED from noon on January 16, 2011, to keep the comments open. I still read them.
For a decade, from the election of Bush 43 forward, the Left has lied and cheated as it tried to return to power. Al Gore made a mockery out of the American electoral system by being a spoilsport over Florida, which Bush indeed won by 537 votes. Dan Rather forged a document to try to derail Bush’s re-election. Twice Democrats stole U.S. senators from the Republicans. After voting to support the war to get by the 2002 election, many Democrats quickly soured on the war. The profane protests were cheered by liberals who misattributed “dissent is the highest form of patriotism” to Thomas Jefferson; the words belong to the late historian Howard Zinn.
Once in power, liberals were the opposite of gracious.
For two years now, I have been called ignorant, racist, angry and violent by the left. The very foul-mouthed protesters of Bush dare to now label my words as “hate speech.”
Last week, the left quickly blamed the right for the national tragedy of a shooting spree by a madman who never watched Fox News, never listened to Rush Limbaugh and likely did not know who Sarah Palin is.
Fortunately, the American public rejected out of hand that idiotic notion that the right was responsible.
Rather than apologize, the left wants to change the tone of the political debate.
The left suddenly wants civil discourse.
Bite me.
The left wants to play games of semantics.
Bite me.
The left wants us to be civil — after being so uncivil for a decade.
Bite me.
There is grown-up work to do now. Liberals ran up the federal credit card, destroyed the American medical system and undermined the rule of law — which is the foundation of capitalism — with a bunch of unconstitutional fiats from the president and his bureaucracy.
The economy is a mess. The president “inherited” a 7.6% unemployment rate. It’s now 9.4% — after we spent a record $787 billion on a stimulus.
I was not consulted on that stimulus. I had a very good argument against it. I said the money supply was too large and printing more money would fail. I said let the economic downturn run its course.
Lefties were too busy celebrating the 2008 election to listen.
When people protested lefties made vulgar remarks about tea-bagging and giggled.
So screw you and your civil discourse.
I don’t want to hear it.
I have been screamed at for 10 years.
It’s my turn now. I am not going to scream back. But I refuse to allow anyone to dictate what I say or how I say it. I refuse to allow the same foul-mouthed, foul-spirited foul people who dumped on me to now try to tell me what I may or may not say.
My free speech matters more than the feelings of anyone on the left. You don’t like what I say? Tough.
I will not allow people to label my words Hate Speech or try to lecture me on civility. I saw the lefty signs. The left’s definition of civil discourse is surreal.
We have a terribly unfit president who has expanded government control beyond not only what is constitutional but what is healthy for our freedom.
Indeed, this call for civil discourse is itself a direct threat to my free speech.
So screw you.
You don’t like my words? You don’t like my tone? You feel threatened?
Too bad.
No.
Actually, that is what I want. I want the lefties to feel bad. I want them to feel hurt. I want them to cry to their mommies.
That way the field will be cleared so we grown-ups can fix the nation and the economy. If you can’t put up with a little excrement, get the hell out of the barn.
Did I not say that this would happen? This is NOTHING compared to what's coming out of the woodwork. The closer the day of reckoning gets, the more vicious it will get.
Good. I'm locked and loaded, babe.
Just print out the following and post it somewhere you can read it when you need to:

Well the thing is, as much as liberals despise the tea party. The tea party has had no effect on the current situation in America. It is all corrupt Democrats and all corrupt Republicans, for a minimum of the past 3 decades. The liberal escalation is unfounded.
So to that, I say when the system breaks, very very soon, it will be the liberals that won't survive off other peoples money.
Liberalism is a system that self destructs, and true conservatives will continue to live and thrive after the beast, and the devil holding its reigns, have burned in hell.
So to me, this video is just a cry for help. They know their days are very few, and their time is short from living off the backs of others.
I made it to the 2:00 mark before I was overwhelmed by stupidity..

Not speaking, is speaking.

oohh, that is well said, Be Well.
I like it.
At my age and study of history and just having lived through so much . . . I can say truthfully that I do not care one whit about what propaganda a liberal wants to spew because I KNOW it's ALL progaganda and extreme. I look at the state of the USA and the constitution and the welfare rolls and the political correctness and myraid other "programs" that were ALL designed and implemented by liberals - I already KNOW what and how they think and you know what - I don't want to hear them try to make the weakest minds (created by liberals) re-elect them to give them more. I already have the FACTS.I appreciate the balance, left wing propaganda or not. I have seen plenty of right wing propaganda here as well, and I find it healthy to view both sides, not have stuff "spoon fed" to me to try to form my thoughts for me. If this is that big of an issue, may I suggest a separate forum area for conservatives and one for liberals to share their extreme sides of things? I don't care so much for opinions, I want facts and the stuff the media is NOT doing a good job of sharing.
