In an explosive telephone argument that led to her firing, publisher Judith Regan allegedly complained of a "Jewish cabal" against her in the book industry and stated that "Of all people, Jews should know about ganging up, finding common enemies and telling the big lie."
A spokesman for Regan's former employer, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., told The Associated Press on Monday that the remarks were based on notes taken by HarperCollins attorney Mark Jackson, with whom Regan was discussing the future of a controversial new novel about baseball star Mickey Mantle.
The spokesman, Andrew Butcher, released the comments in response to a threatened libel suit from Regan's legal representative, Hollywood attorney Bert Fields, who had called earlier reports of anti-Semitic remarks "completely untrue" and added that the publisher "didn't have an anti-Semitic bone in her body.
Since 1994, Regan had headed the ReganBooks imprint at News Corp.'s HarperCollins. She was fired Friday.
The allegations first emerged earlier Monday when The New York Times, citing two unnamed News Corps officials, referred to unspecified anti-Semitic comments.
Regan, one of of the book world's most successful publishers, already had tense relations with HarperCollins and News Corp. Last month, Murdoch cancelled "If I Did It," her planned O.J. Simpson book and Fox television interview.
Simpson's book, said to have described how he theoretically would have committed the murders of ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, had been scheduled for release Nov. 30 following the airing of a two-part Simpson interview.
Simpson was acquitted of murder in 1995 but later found liable for the killings in a wrongful-death suit filed by the Goldman family.
"something stinks in the mideast and it ain't Israel."

"Anti semitism is becoming fasionable among the left."

What exactly is wrong with what was said? The first statement is just saying that jews should know about how it feels to be ganged up on.
As far as the 2nd statement, Regan says that she didn't bring up the term Cabal - the lawyer on the other end of the conversation did.
I've noticed a lot of race baiting even here on FR lately.
Why? She didn't say anything offensive. She said that jews should be aware of what it feels like to be piled on and she claims that the lawyer on the other end brought up the term Cabal, not her.
Yeah, that's it. Blame it all on Goldstein, Goldberg, and Goldman. What kinda idiots does she think we are???
It's also becoming far more noticeable here at the FreeRepublic, too.
:-(
I guess you didn't understand the meaning behind what I was trying to say, I apologize.
Anyone can say anything about anyone and create an image of that person that may or may not be true. Anonymous postings on a web site, specifically, tend to be less than credible.
""My friend worked for this woman 9 days, she said she is definitely the Wife of Satan a horrible creation of a human being, she would never say this about anyone she is a nice jewish girl and she thought this lady was horrid.""

Tell your friend about this new book, which is a fictional story about Judith Regan written by a former employee.
