Judith Regan Update
[posted by Justin – not Patterico]
Allegations of anti-Semitism continue to be leveled at the insane would-be O.J. book publisher Judith Regan.
One anonymous source comes to her defense:
One of the people who claims Regan uttered the “rodentia” comment allowed, “I wouldn’t call her anti-Semitic. She was anti-everything. She would use stereotypes against anyone she was mad at: blacks, gays, Irish. It was across-the-board discrimination.”
I’m sorry, but anyone who regularly uses “across-the-board discrimination” and stereotypes shouldn’t be working in the media. Period! Now if you will please excuse me, I need to go produce tomorrow’s Bill Handel Show….

Personally, I don’t think we (Jews) should be too concerned that some idiot in the publishing industry is making derogatory comments about Jews. It’s not as if this is particularly harmful to Jews in the publishing field.
What’s more interesting to me is this, from the Daily News article:
What does it mean to say “I’ve never heard her use any racial or religious slurs. I can’t speak about sexual orientation.”? If he’s never heard use racial or religious slurs, why can’t he say he’s never heard her use gay slurs? You can’t not know that you’ve never heard something.
