DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER SCREWED UP AGAIN...WOULD YOU GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE?
DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER'S RACIST RANT -- CAUGHT ON TAPE!Dog Chapman has been captured spewing foul-mouthed racist slurs on a tape obtained exclusively by The NATIONAL ENQUIRER.
And now a civil rights leader is calling for Dog's TV show to be removed from the airwaves.
In a shocking world exclusive The ENQUIRER has obtained tapes of two revolting phone conversations in which Duane "Dog" Chapman unleashes a filthy bigoted attack, littered with the N-word and other disgusting racial insults.
The star of the A&E reality show Dog, The Bounty Hunter directed his racist hatred at his son Tucker's girlfriend Monique Shinnery, who is black.
"Dog Chapman should not have a show. That show should be taken off the air!"
That's the opinion of prominent civil rights leader Roy Innis, who has served as the chairman of the Congress for Racial Equality (CORE) since 1968. Innis was shocked and outraged when The ENQUIRER played Dog Chapman's racist telephone conversations for him.
"This man should not be held up as a role model for children," Innis told The ENQUIRER. "He has venom deep in his soul. This is a picture of his heart — a revelation of his true nature.
Innis believes that cable network A&E needs to take swift action in response to Dog's vicious outburst.
"He needs to answer for his behavior," says Innis.
"When someone gets the opportunity to use the airwaves, he becomes a role model, whether he likes it or not. Dog Chapman should not be in that position, posing as a good guy.
"His comments show that he certainly is not a good guy."

Well I would give many people a second chance but I would never support this guy again by watching his tv show.
I can listen to that clip over and over again to laugh at the logic. Its hilarious really. Never knew someone could lack any type of self awareness. -

Not that I condone what he said, but I wonder how many of us have not said something in a private conversation that would hurt us if a tape surfaced?
I don't think the guy is really racist, the evidence doesn't show that in my mind.
I have heard other people use the "n" word whom I know are not racist. Not that I think it's wise to do so, but people say a lot of stupid things without thinking.
I wonder how many of the same people who are all up in arms about tapping the phone conversations of terrorists and people connected with them are calling for Chapman's head.
I have never watched his show, but I think yes, he should probably be given a second chance. -

I believe that our nation overall is a forgiving nation. Our nation as a civilized democracy would fail the test as a "standard" for the rest of the world, if we could not find it in our hearts to forgive. However, forgiveness does not mean that we must promote or give an audience to individuals who choose to add to the cancerous growth of racism. America is a great country, but still falls short of realizing its true greatness through the full utilization of all of its diverse resources. Mr. Dog's ability to spew the kind of anti-American venom heard on the tape clearly indicates that he is a part of the problem and not the solution. It is not as if this man is someone operating in obscurity, he has access to a medium that reaches a plethora of people. It is that aspect of his being that makes him dangerous. We must not forget that we have had to mourn over the loss of our future- young teenagers from Columbine to the recent terror of Virginia Tech because of hearing messages of hate, intolerance and race privilege. What Mr. Dog said is not a little thing, but the ambers that burn violently just beneath the surface spilling over into horrific, uncontained fires.

Mr. Dog has received a message that he should leave the airwaves and go home to reflect on who he is and decide to do better as an individual so that he can assist in creating a nation that can sincerely, with integrity live out the true meaning of its creed. I hope that Mr. Dog is introspective enough to know that it is time to go home to do some serious soul-cleaning.(less) -

What is said in a 'private' conversation should stay in a 'private' conversation! Obviously the person releasing this tape is out to destroy Dog Chapman (and make a few $$ doing so). You definitely don't see that kind of racism on his show. And his spiritual leader is black. -

When the NAACP and other "civil rights leaders" start to blast their own race for use of the so-called "N" word, then I'll let them tell me which white people they think should be fired from their jobs for using it. Dog has the same freedom of speech (and by the way, that includes "hate" speech whether you like it or not) as any other American. Why is it OK for blacks to call each other "niggers", "ho's" and "bitches" (you can't listen to rap music without hearing it), call white people "honky" and "cracker", but when a white person uses the any of these words blacks act all outraged, offended and hurt? If you're black and you're reading this, I got news for you, since you have no problem with another black person calling you a nigger, then I'll call you one too, and right ot your face. And if you're dumb enough to take a swing at me, I'll whip your two-faced ass. Don't try to force me to live under your double-standards (you know, like that "separate but equal" crap the white southern Democrats tried with the blacks in the 60's), or you'll get on my Irish side real quick.
And as far as someone having "venom deep in their soul" is concerned, I don't think it was venom, I think it was pure frustration (with the double standard I was just talking about) that caused Dog to react the way he did. I haven't listened to the "tirade" yet, but since the liberals are making such a big deal out of it, I know it's not really that bad. -

I would not click no, because I do not agree witht he racist crap, Oh it is ok for the Black person to call the white people all kind of names, but God forbid a white man say anything about another person, regardless of their race. I am so sick of this crap I just want to scream all Al & Jesse, just take your Black A**es back to Africa, is you do not like America, then get the hell out. I do not like the Show, I have watched it twice, the first time I though, I didn't like it, I gave it a chance watched it the second to cinfirm, nope I did not like it, so I, I, I< I, get them message I changed the channel, it is not that hard to do. Click the button and you do not have to put up with it anymore, just as I do not have to turn my radio on and listen to the blacks sing there songs about the Hos and nappy head women they screw around with. I have heard these sond, and I do not like them , so I change the channel, it is not that hard to do. -

How is it that a PRIVATE phone conversation ended up splashed all over the airwaves????? Not to excuse what he said, by any means, BUT.......
This was a personal , not intended for public use !!!...How is it that all of the liberal Bush Bashers, probably some of the very same ones that say he is "Shredding" the Constitution and our privacy rights, are now leading the witch hunt against Dog??? That sure sounds like Hypocrisy to me................
I would venture to say that if some of the private conversations of thees people ranting against the "Dog" right now were somehow made public......
that we would probably hear some very interesting things being said that are just as bad or worse !!!
Give the Dog a break............He said NOTHING wrong publicly.......
................This is why... Liberalism IS a Mental Disorder !!!......................... -

I believe Arts and Entertainment removed his show from their lineup according to what I heard and I agree with them on this completely. I feel sorry for his son who had to listen to this foul mouth jerk and for his girlfriend who should not have been subjected to this tirade. I am sure that his girlfriend has heard it by now even though the phone conversation was between father and son. -

The culture that teaches these words is at fault!...Dog has admitted his wrongdoing...and has asked for forgiveness...Now I would like for everyone to stop using this word...even people of African descent and that includes rappers...it needs to be eliminated from the vocabulary!... -
raves Nov 03, 2007 01:28AM GMTI do not know whether he is actually a true Christian or not as that is between him and his God. No one is perfect in this world even believers of the faith because we are only sinners saved by the grace of God. It is not my place to judge him but I expressed an opinion on the subject of what he said.

He didn't use his show as a vehicle for his hateful spew, so why should his show be sanctioned for something that was not intended to be publically broadcasted?Many people have "venom deep in their soul" and we still allow them to be celebrities.
Firing him would the height of ridiculousness IMO.
