The actor, Lance Baxter (acting name DC Douglas), accused FreedomWorks of hate speech before leaving his telephone number, purportedly for them to call him back.

On April 14, FreedomWorks put his voicemail online.

Today, Douglas reports he's been dropped from Geico's campaign. His dramatic news release is here; he claims to have been motivated by "the recent gay and racial slurs slung by Tea Party members at Congressman Barney Frank and Representative John Lewis during the Health Care Reform Weekend,"

Vindictive? LOL. The guy was an idiot.

Quote

"What are the percentages of people that are mentally retarded who workd for the organization and are members of it?" one portion of the message snidely asks the FreedomWorks foundation. He then asks if they "had a plan on how to spin the eventual news of one of their members turning violent and killing someone."

Maybe he should have thought about that before making that stupid phone call?

says he's "open to any attorneys taking on this case pro bono."


I know there are some great legal minds on FFXU that hate the Teabaggers as much as he and I do. Step up to the plate. Let's help this true American out. Show the Teabaggers the opposition can't be silenced. At the very least, let's start a legal defense fund.

What a dipshit. If you're going to make prank phone calls, you shouldn't have a recognizable voice, must less leave your actual phone number on the message for somebody to call you back. I wonder if it will come out (or his defense will be) that he was high or drunk.
