Editorial Reaction Round-up
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Beg pardon, but who died and made Al Sharpton president of the Negroes?
Not that Sharpton has ever declared himself as such. But the fact that some regard him as black America’s chief executive was driven home for the umpteenth time a few days ago after TV reality show bounty hunter Duane “Dog” Chapman got in trouble for using a certain toxic racial epithet – six letters, starts with “n,” rhymes with digger – on the phone with his son.
As you may have heard, Chapman was expressing disapproval of the son’s black girlfriend.

Dog should not be fired. It is unconstitutional! He did not use the words on the air. How can an employer fire you for a private conversation? Any one of us can be fired for things we say or do in the privacy of our own home! It’s absolutely insane to fire him for something that was said to his own son!
I do not agree that it was the right terminology but we do not know the whole story. Someone says he said the N word and -boom- he’s done? How many of us have said so much worse to our children? The media is so PC that it makes me sick! They do so much more harm than good sometimes. Dog – I forgive you. And feel that your apology was heartfelt. Beth, I think you are so strong. You are always standing up for your wonderful man. I pray that this is over and you are more popular than ever before long! Keep it up out there and God bless you both!
Leave Dog alone! His show should not be cancelled! He is one of, if not, the best thing that has happened to TV. If A&E is going to go so low as to cancel his show, I hope and pray that any other channel takes the opportunity to snag him up. He is a blessing to America and we should give him another chance! The Enquirer needs to really get a life and leave the good people alone. Go and continue your rant about Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Leave Dog alone! God Bless the Chapman Family and I pray that we see you on TV again soon.
I would Not apologize for nothing in this world! A black person can say the N word and nothing is said what so ever. He SHOULD be upset about his son’s black girlfriend. I do not believe in inter-racial breeding. The white race is a dying breed and that’s just the way all those bleeding heart liberals, media moguls and the government want it! Be proud of your hertige and roots and keep it intact. Am I a racist? So what!
I like the dog but after hearing this stuff..kinda think he is not exactly as how he comes off with all the yeah brah god loves you and I know Brah..I been there..etc. Even though he may have had some particular issue with Tuckers girl, he really went off as if to say he is a racist.It seems like he might be a double agent..Too bad though that one of your own felt he had to expose what was supposed to be private. Like Dog sometimes says.. he is an ex con and can’t be trusted!!
Don’t kill the dog… i am the biggest fan of dog and beth.. leland too…. i an not understanding the fact that dog saif the N word and gets in hot water over it… tell me not one person ever in this world has not said a racist word.. i don’t think i can admit to that… we all do it but because dog is famous he’s banned….i don’t tolerate it.. my daughter being africian-american and i am a white canadian… i think he did it because he was mad… we all say things we shouldn’t when we are mad… DOG you are the best and beth is soooo lucky to have you and you have a hot son.. to bad i am married… hang in there dog.. we’ll help you…
signed your biggest fan KERRIE!!! xo/xo
Dear Dog,
First let me say that I am a fan of yours and remain so! I know how hard you have worked to redeem yourself and become the person that you are today. I believe that you are a good man!
What you said and how you said it was terrible but I find it interesting that A&E has no problem with you using the words M.F. Even though it’s bleeped out it’s obvious that you’re yelling out those words.
In your interview with Larry King you more or less said that your problem with your son’s girlfriend was not that she was black but that she was a very bad influence. You also said that she and some other girls had confronted Beth in a menacing way. I could only gather that her intent was to harm Beth and you. Then I saw her family interviewed and they appeared to be very honourable people. Did we get the whole story? I think some clerification needs to be made.
I was dissapointed to see that you did not appear on Dr. Phil’s show. But maybe you were feeling too emotionally fragile and felt that you were being
ganged up on.
Hang in there Duane and Beth. You have many people who care about you and you
deserve only the best!
You are in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Colleen O’Reilly
p.s. I’m a songwriter and my website will be up and running by the end of next week.
Two things first of kim sharp when you said i forgiive you i dont think that really matters. Why cause your not black and you were in no way affected by what he said, and i agree that it was stupid for a&e to pull the show off.
Second kelly your just an ass. come on now. you cant honestly believe that your not a racist. oh and i was reading this magazine today forgot whats it called but its preety big and in there they had interviews of his kids and it was quiet interesting. Apparently he got 2 of his kids addicted to drugs and one of them had to whore her self out for them. Also one of his daughters admited that couple of years back dog snorted coke and had sex with his own daughter!!!!!!!!
and told his kids that he was going to marry her. hows that for a bad influence thats discusting and im not making this up. Look it up on the net or look at the magazines for the interviews with his kids in a news stand. hes not really a hero.
The Dog is only human, “let ye who is without sin cast the first stone!!!!!”
Dog should be given a second chance. Anybody who regularly watches his show knows that the guy is all about forgiveness and second chances…why should he be denied what he so generously shows to others?
listen, the trash who set him deserves to be called MORE THAN WHAT HE CALLED THEM!!!
this man is not a saint, that’s clear. he’s a human being who makes mistakes, BUT WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED TO SOCIETY NOT STOLEN FROM IT like Ms. Mean Spirit and her druggie boyfriend who doesn’t even know how to be a SON.
i have nothing more to say, except MS and TC should be hung from their shorthairs for a very long time for this CRIME OF EXTORTION…cause that’s what it is.
“Dog” has repented and should be forgiven, but those two – FEED THEM TO THE DOGS.
Dog
I’ve recently started watching your show and must admit I’m hooked. I’ve grown very fond of your entire family, ( especially Leland). I think America needs to realize “Actions speak louder than words”
In your actions, I’ve seen you CONTINUOUSLY try to help criminals and people who have made bad choices get help regardless of color!!!
The eyes are the windows to our soles, anyone who looks into your eyes can see your heart. I pray everyone see’s what I do…..
You made a mistake Dog and if America cant forgive you, then America didn’t deserve you!!! I think you are awesome and people who love you as I do wont judge you!!
Hold your head up high and keep moving forward and continue to make a difference!!!
I’m looking forward to Hawaii again, and I’m counting on you to continue making it paradise for us all:):)
As long as A & E has banned you, I’m banning them from my home!!!

Have you lisoned to what “Dog” said.. He has not got a problem with any person or colour.. lets get that correct!! Then move to the fact that he was giving personal addvice to his son about his life chuoose and the fact that the person his son has picked is not a good person. How Dog is trying to keep it together for ever one including his son..
Why don’t you all lison and please the media stop trying to make a name for your self of some one else back.. Have a look at what you are saying – which is not the truth..
It is sad that in 2007 there is still a struggle with race. If Dog did not like his son’s girlfriend or felt that she was a bad influence, he should have said just that. I don’t go around attacking people based on their race. Because I am not a racist, some words are not part of my vocabulary. And for all of the supports of Dog, it makes me feel even more afraid – afraid that there are so many people who agree and feel there is nothing wrong. I have watched the show, however, I am no longer a fan. I can say that I was a fan – and what he did is wrong. I pray for a day that people can see past the color of one’s skin and truly look at a person’s soul.
Dog made a mistake in the privacy of his own home. And in connection with his son whom he was trying to deter from making a big mistake.
Dog and Beth are doing wonderful things for people in this country by describing their work with druggies and abusers. People in our country need to know about what is going on and how improvements can be made — through the family, through faith in God, and through second chances.
Please do not remove Dog the Bounty Hunter from A&E TV.. we need at least two more years of them before they transition into becoming teachers and preachers and running some kind of institute for families in this world.
Dog and Beth, I have missed you and your family so much. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that A&E would take your(their best show, might I add)off the air because of a private conversation you had with your son, which is no one elses business. How dare Tucker turn around and do what he did to his own blood, it’s disgusting. Blood is thicker than water, and he should be ashamed of himself. I saw her(Tucker’s girlfriend) interview on T.V. and she is a trouble a maker. People say things when they are angry that they later regret, I’ve done it myself. I’m not a racist, but I have made the same mistake you have. I probably would have said the same thing out of anger if she and her friends harrassed my spouse in a parking lot. You were mad and had an absolute right to defend your wife. The only reason I got DVR was to record your show because my work hours changed and I couldn’t stand the thought of missing it. Since A&E took your show off the air,I’ve stopped watching that channel. My husband is from Waianae and I want to thank you and your family for everything you do for the state of Hawaii and it’s residence. You and tour family are good people and only want to help others. God Bless. Oh and the person who called you an idiot because of something they read in a magazine, which they can’t even remember the name of the magazine, is a dummy. Do you beleive everything you read? DUMB ASS
