Comments on: Regan and Carter have a lot in common. . . http://www.jewlicious.com/2006/12/regan-and-carter-have-a-lot-in-common/ It's a Jewish Blog!

Face it, it's a little too convenient and timely that she should suddenly have this bigoted breakdown right after the Simpson book embarrasses the head office as well as her boss who has had some antipathy towards her for a while. I can't say it with 100% certainty, because anybody can say anything, but it's not as if News Corp. is this shining beacon of integrity in their reporting, for heaven's sake. They run Fox and have seem to have no shame about manipulating news coverage to suit the boss's latest views. Why would this be any different? As for Mr. Jackson, why would he have reason to believe he'd be doubted? And yes, being a highly paid attorney might have made him "hear" things that his client, Ms. Friedman from News Corp., may have preferred that he "hear." Now <i>that</i> would be a Jewish cabal (Jackson is apparently an MOT). Shy Guy, my guess is that it is very helpful to News Corp. to have Regan outed as an anti-Semite.

I don't think so. Book her, Danno. themiddle said:

People listen to him and he has a large public platform. Even if many people have tried to marginalize him as an ineffective President, the fact is that he led this country for 4 years and remains the sole leader this country has ever had - or any leader ever - to have brokered a peace agreement between an Arab state and Israel. His book is meaningful for that reason alone. However, add to that his false use of the term "apartheid" and some of the false information he provides that lays the blame for the conflict and the state of the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in the hands of Israel and it becomes important to speak out against the content of the book and Mr. Carter's intentions.

Would the woman actually say that? Probably not; someone in her position is probably all too aware of how easily every word out of her mouth can be spread around the world in minutes. It really irritates me that people are getting bent out of shape about this Carter book. There will ALWAYS be people who say negative things about Israel and there will ALWAYS be people who listen to them. Plus... he's Jimmy Carter. Since when does he say anything worth listening to? I say, let the Israel debate continue. There isn't anything that anyone can do to stop it. I agree with The Middle. Would the woman actually say that?

The information was leaked by News Corp. which had a strong interest in firing Regan for cause, probably with intent to deny her some hard-earned bonuses. I'm not a defender of this woman and couldn't care less about her. From what I've read, along with her unsavory books, she also published some serious books. However, in this instance, there's a good chance that a large public company is using an accusation of anti-Semitism to publicly smear and possibly profit from the removal of an employee. If this is the case, this would be an extraordinarily cynical ploy and one that we should refrain from supporting in any way.

I understand that Regan's publishing works is supposed to release a book authored by Jean Kirkpatrick soon, may she RIP.
