Go to the Made in NH Expo this Weekend!

Last week, I reported an incident where right-wing talk radio host Jared Goodell of WFEA said (several times) in a discussion of the change coming for the $20 bill,  that the best way to honor Harriet Tubman would be to put her picture on an EBT card. 

It's all here: 
Racist Rhetoric on WFEA

I suggested that folks contact WFEA, and also their advertisers. One advertiser was the Made in NH Expo. A lot of readers took action, and contacted WFEA. They contacted the Made in NH Expo, too. 

The folks at Made in NH Expo took this incident very seriously, and they made the decision to pull their advertising from WFEA, and remove them as a sponsor of the Expo. 

If you're wondering what to do this weekend? I suggest you go check out at the Made in NH Expo - at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester, starting Friday and ending Sunday. 

150 companies will be there showing their products. 

Please be sure to say thank you!

Racist Rhetoric on WFEA Talk Radio

This is Jared Goodell. He has a right wing talk radio show on WFEA in Manchester, NH. The call letters are 1370 AM. 

He's an obnoxious twerp, in the way that most far right talk radio guys are. He's a good megaphone for knee jerk talking points, but appears to have little actual knowledge about the world or US history for that matter. That isn't a detriment to a career in wingnut media. Young Jared is on his way up, and may soon be leaving NH behind. 

Today he really distinguished himself on the topic of Harriet Tubman and the $20 bill. Wingnuts are furious - only white men should be on money! 

Equality makes them furious. Equality makes them feel as if they're losing. They had everything, and they do not want to share with women. Sharing with people of color makes them even more furious. 

At about 1:03 in the April 21 show, he starts talking to Arnie Arnesen about Harriet Tubman on the $20, and making accusations of leftist liberal pandering. 

At about 1:09, he says that if we really want to honor Harriet Tubman, she should go on an EBT card. 
Here's a link to his show: http://1370wfea.com/jared-goodell/podcast-jared-goodell-show-4-21-16/


UPDATE: WFEA has taken down the podcast to the April 21 show. 



The Made in NH Expo is advertising at WFEA. Be sure to call them to tell them you won't be attending the Expo next weekend, because they advertise on a radio station that features racist commentary. (603) 626-6354

I'm in favor of making some noise about this. Feel free to join me. This kind of talk should not be welcome on our public airwaves.
