Actually it wasn't the Gecko. It was the guy who did the voiceovers for Geico ads. He called the KKKoch Brothers puppet group "FreedomWorks" and left a nasty message on their voice mail regarding teabaggers. Unfortunately, he left a call back number with the voice mail, and the KKKoch flunkies were already harrassing Geico for pulling their advertising from the Glenn BecKKK show, so the phone assaults escalated, and Geico fired him.
This is all from memory, but I'm sure I posted a thread on the subject somwhere on this board.
