Lance Baxter, better known as D.C. Douglas but perhaps best known as the voice of certain Geico commercials (primarily as the tag announcer of a 2007-2008 celebrity ad campaign) has been fired by the insurance company after leaving a voicemail for Tea Party group FreedomWorks.

Douglas asked FreedomWorks in his voicemail what "the percentage of people that are mentally retarded who are working for FreedomWorks and who are following it," or as he has since put it, he "inquired as to their intelligence level."

In the voicemail, Douglas also questions how FreedomWorks will "spin it when one of your members does actually kill somebody, wondering if you've got a PR spinning routine planned for that or are you just gonna take it when it happens."

Ok its finaly gotten weird enough for melaugh

Im confused as to why he was fired,, was this some sort of crime? ,,,shrugs

his voice isnt THAT unique and I would have never known his name but for this piece,, so it wouldnt have to do with their image(unless he was dull enough to explain who he worked for and what he did)
