Here's an update on the story: "You Could Save $50 By Switching to Geico, You Mentally Retarded Murderer!"
Lance Baxter, a.k.a. "D.C. Douglas", has been fired. Rather than own up to his own stupidity, Lance has this to say:
“I called as a private citizen to make a complaint. Racism and homophobia are my Achilles heel, but unfortunately my message included inappropriate words and I am sorry for that. However, telling their members to harass my employer to get me fired is an egregiously disproportionate response to my actions.”
Gee, Lance! And when private citizens who are or might be Geico customers act as private citizens to tell your employer what an offensive moron you are, that is their right. I don't believe anyone had to be told to complain about what you said. If you weren't such a bigoted bonehead, you might have recognized that. Unfortunately (for you) the egregious outrageousness of your comments (like chickens, the Rev. Wright might say) have come home to roost!
Contrary to initial reports, Lance is not the "Gecko". Our apologies to lizards and other liberals everywhere!
Don't say stupid, hateful things. So simple, even a caveman could do it!

There's got to be more to this than what's being reported. How did Freedom Works know Lance was the guy who left the message? Was he stupid enough to leave his name and contact info in the message? Was there more to the message, perhaps threats, that might have caused F.W. to investigate further? If this were a single call by this individual leaving a silly message I doubt F.W. would waste any time or resources tracking down the person responsible for the message unless there were numerous incidents which could be construed as harassment.
ReplyDeleteIf I recall correctly from the first story, the genius left his phone number on the message.
ReplyDeleteFrom the original Big Government link:
ReplyDelete"Feel free to contact Lance. He was so kind to provide his number in the voicemail."
Yeesh, that guys momma did raise a dummy! Even if there was alcohol involved.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't seem to be slurring his speech, but then he is a professional!
