It's all about Freedom
By Capt. Fogg
Yessuh, the Tea Party Right is all about freedom and keeping big government out of your private life so that big corporations can act like feudal robber barons or brown shirted beer hall bullies and do as they please to you without interference. Take the Lizard for instance -- you know the fellow who does the voice-over for the Geico Gecko. Seems somehow he thought he had the freedom to leave a message of disapproval on the voice mail of FreedomWorks, one of those Tea Party organizations who tell you it's all about fr
eedom while polishing their hobnail boots, cleaning the weapons and making misspelled signs. A simple little lizard hardly has a chance against a TeaParty Tyrannosaurus and it's ability to intimidate Geico into firing him on the spot. Perhaps I shouldn't say forced, since Geico really had a choice here - just as I have a choice never to do business with them and recommend to everyone I know that they take 15 minutes to call Geico at 800-871-3000 and tell them that they just lost a potential customer. Here's your chance to be Dr. Ben Marble for a day. 15 minutes could save your country. Retaliation -- that's what BigGovernment.com did to actor Lance Baxter. They published his phone number and asked their teabag terrorists to harass him and call his employer to demand his dismissal. Nice people! Just the kind of people you want telling you about what's wrong with America: too damned much freedom! (Cross posted from Human Voices)

Well FreedomJerks and their kin may be no less reprehensible, but was I fair to Geico?
You decide. I got this in my e-mail this morning:
Thank you for expressing your concerns to us. We would like you to know that the work GEICO did with D.C. Douglas (aka Lance Baxter) has not aired in over a year. The views that Mr. Douglas has expressed are his own personal views and not the views of GEICO.
Again, we appreciate you taking the time to let us know of your concerns.
Sincerely,
David Simonton
