Meltdowns
Quiet Dog Back in L.A.

Still in the dog house for his liberal use of the N word in a taped phone call with his son Tucker, potty-mouthed "Bounty Hunter" Duane Chapman had little to say on arrival at LAX this morning.


With wife Beth in tow, the gold-chain-wearing ex-con and father of nine (!) revealed only that he has not made up with his young pup -- who allegedly recorded the verbal assault on his girlfriend, Monique Shinnery. Shocker.

Perhaps Dog will have more to share during his appearance on Fox News Channel's "Hannity and Colmes" tonight, or on "Larry King Live," this Wednesday on CNN.

63. I like the Dog but his comments where out of line. I think its interesting that in this clip he is surrounded by black people. I dont really think he hates black people, but he knows better than to use the N word.

64. Hey, I came from generations of ignorance. Where can you hear the whole tape? If this girlfriend was causing problems for the family, I would like to hear it. I know from my past, saying the n word doesn't mean your truly a racist. It can just mean you dont know any better because you were raised by uneducated people who were taught using that word was normal.Hopefully in time and wisdom, people can form different opinions.

66. I wonder if Tucker Chapman understands that he didn't just take out his father with the sale to the Enquirer. Tucker's actions also affects his brothers and sisters who work for Dog as well as their families/children. It also affects the other people that work for Dog and Beth and their families. And let's not forget the people at A&E such as the cameramen/women who work on the series.

There are a lot of people who depend on the Dog for a living and Tucker may have just ruined a lot of lives and livlihoods! It is unfortunate that in Tucker's desire to hurt his father, Tucker had to take out a lot of innocent bystanders and their paychecks in the process. Shame on Tucker and his girlfriend!

67. I'm getting tired of hearing how Tucker was not loyal to his dad. Dog showed the the first signs of disloyalty when he 1) ordered his son not to date a "N" and 2) threatened to end Tucker's employment if he continued to date a "N". So who really was disloyal? Remember there is no honor amongst thieves.

68. Dog is no racist, he saved a black mans life in prison, he helps minorities all the time in getting them released from jail, the man who married him is African American. You can attack Dog all you want, but the truth will come out , this man is no Racist.

69. It is my firm belief that the conversation between Dog and his son should have remained a private conversation. Additionally, I believe that by so many people adding hype to this inappropriate comment they are literally making a mountain out of a mole hill. Not to undermine the emotion millions of people feel associated with this word. To condemn him for a comment made in private and then publically display it for national critics is nothing short of wrong, wrong, wrong. If there is to be criticisim it should be directed to at his son. It seems to me that America is condoning the betrayal of a son to his father. That is where all the publicity should fall. Having watched "Dogs" show for years and following his response to this issue it is obvious that "Dog" himself has and is sufficiently punishing himself for letting his guard down and making a comment that was made in anger to his son. I honestly do not believe that it was the intent of "Dog" to hurt anyone with the use of t he "N" word. By publically deciding the outcome of the future for "Dog" and his entire family over one inappropriate word seems so wrong. To quote scripture "Those among you who are WITHOUT sin cast the first stone". Perhaps you haven't used the "N" word however, the word Jew, Wetback, Whitie along with hundreds of other scenarios are every bit as hurtful to those it is applicable to. Dog does not fit the profile acceptable to mainstream America by presenting his personal taste, methods, expressions etc... Those who enjoy his program have known simply for those reasons that it was only a matter of time before something of this nature devastated his career. Why can't America simply accept his apology and move past this. If all of our conversations were put on public display how many of us would be standing in similar shoes? He was provoked by his son when this comment was made. How many of us say things in anger or when provoked that we would give anything to take back? The attenti o n to all the counseling, quidance and respect he gives to those individuals he brings to justice has not been mentioned once. How many of us are the proverbial "Pot calling the kettle black"? We each have one judge in this life and that is GOD ALMIGHTY, I believe he has the judgement issue under control without our help. I say "Forgive" and move on

70. Well Little Buddy, I guess that Tucker's dad needed to be brought down....and the truth is the truth whether it's given to us by his son or anyone else....the facts are the facts. It's a narrow path to salvation and this guy was just all over the place and needed to be brought into line and made to face his OWN sin instead of just bringing the "bad guys" to justice. Let's call a spade a spade here.....(pun intended). He brought this all down on himself like a house of cards.

72. 56. "I hear a Father disciplining a son (Tucker Chapman) whose girlfriend (Monique Shinnery) was making threats and stirring up problems between the family members."

TUCKER IS AN ADULT WELL PAST THE'DISCIPLINING' AGE, AND MONIQUE WAS 'VERY CORRECT' IF SHE FOUND DUANE TO BE RACIST, IMO.

WHAT ARE YOU SMOKIN'?
