Stupid teabaggers get the Geico voice guy fired...

so, why would the Tea Partiers lobby against anything owned by Rupert Murdoch?

--Geico is one of his properties.
 
His foolish actions got him fired. You can't go around leaving inflammatory voicemails when your voice is tied to a company's image and namesake.

Good for Geico for firing this lunatic.
 
yeah i hate to but i have to agree with patranus. he is right..the tea party didnt get him fired he got himself fired.

lol, I guess when you work for a high-profile company, it is just stupid to even dabble in politics. I can't believe how these Tea Party morans are getting so much traction lately...most of them just seem like really angry racists to me.

Everyone knows that balanced budgets, opposition to government bailouts, and opposition to ever increasing taxation are the foundations of racism. 🙄

so, just b/c his voice is so explicitly tied to the company he can't be expected to have any opinions in his private life?

I kinda get this....but then I don't.

Of course, but he made a total ass of himself with the voicemail. People could use the voicemail to attack geico for not getting rid of him.

Of course he can have opinions. The company can also fire him. I'd say the progressive girl is pretty tied into that insurance company. If she goes out and starts getting pictures of her taken that is inflammatory, the company may decide to distance themselves and fire her.

Except we are pretty much at an all time low for taxation. And the teabaggers do not want any of their medicare cut...

Oh, and no one cared until the day we had a black president... Oh, and there are racist signs at the rallies...

But let's ignore reality.
 
This is the job you could be saving with Geico.

Maybe he should remember "I always feel like, somebody's watching me. Can't get no privacy."

why are you labeling them racists?


Here is the actual voicemail he left. What a jackass. He got himself fired with that.

Like someone else said, the tea baggers didn't get him fired, he got himself fired.

Sounds like this guy also has a screw loose.

You're the one ignoring reality, of course, but feel free to continue enjoying your little fantasy world where everyone who disagrees with you is a racist.

"I have no way to refute you, so I must just attack! Wahhhh!"

Here is evidence for my claim- Taxes are at an all time low -http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=139

Teabagging started right after Obama became president, despite 8 years of doubling the deficit- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_protests

Racism- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S38VioxnBaI , http://washingtonindependent.com/73036/n-word-sign-dogs-would-be-tea-party-leader,

Teabaggers refusing Obama being born in the US- http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2009/04/the-rotting-racist-underbelly-of-the-tea-party-protests/

How bout you give that a try, eh?
