Dec. 19, 2006 — Publisher Judith Regan's alleged complaints of a "Jewish cabal" and other remarks that led to her firing were condemned by the Anti-Defamation League on Tuesday.

"If Ms. Regan did make the charge that a Jewish cabal was conspiring against her, she clearly stepped over the line by employing the age-old anti-Semitic canard that Jews conspire against non-Jews," ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said. "She also gives credence to the conspiracy theory that Jews control the media.

Regan was fired Friday by the News Corp.-owned HarperCollins after a telephone confrontation in which she complained of a "Jewish cabal" against her in the industry and appeared to liken herself to a victim of the Nazis as she stated that Jews "should know about ganging up, finding common enemies and telling the big lie."

With Mantle's family and fans of the late Yankee enraged, Regan and Jackson of HarperCollins were discussing the timing and content of the planned March release, according to Butcher. Regan got frustrated by what she believed was HarperCollins' lack of support, and lashed out.

1. Good riddance to this trash.

She's nothing but the publisher of generally right-wing insurgency garbage. She publishes crap that the Mellon-Scaife Foundation then buys in bulk quantities so it can get onto "best seller lists".

These cretins always show their true colors, sooner or later.

2. No, it wouldn't have anything to do with the OJ debacle

I reckon that they were waiting for any excuse that would shed some good light on the company, while getting rid of that woman.

3. uh Judith -- could your firing have anything to do with GREED coupled

with BAD TASTE, coupled with INSENSITIVITY?

Are you channeling Mel Gibson? Because I think the real reason you're out on your fluffy ass is because of something YOU did dear.:sarcasm:
