31. I bet his obnoxious wife uses a strap-on, on the dog. Glad they are history. Great job, HARVEY & TMZ.

32. Ok, new show idea. Let's rebrand the whole thing. Instead of "Dog the Bounty Hunter" we can rebrand the show "Dog-- Aryan Nation Brigade". They already have the costumes and the shows are in the "can", so let's just take it to Public access with the new name....yeah that's the ticket.

34. A&E if you take off the dog, you can say goodbye to one more viewer. Lighten up people. If its ok for blacks to say it then we can to. What about when you call us cracker or honkey, thats ok though. Double standards. everyone is so worried about not hurting others feeling that no one can say anything anymore, even in private. And dog I bet it was the GF that leaked that. Write off Tucker.

35. This is totally a set up, this is not DOG!!!! I have met him, when he was on his book tour, he is not like that, This was a Private conversation, that as a father he was having with his troubled son, He did not mean it you have taken it way out of contexted, LEAVE DOG ALONE!!! YOUR TOTALLY WRONG ON THIS. HE IS A GOOD KIND,LOVING MAN, WHO WOULD DO,OR SAY WHATEVER HE CAN TO SAVE ONE OF HIS CHILDREN FROM MAKING A BIG MISTAKE....WAKE UP THIS IS NOT DOG THIS IS NOT WHO HE IS, IF YOU KNEW HIM YOU WOULD KNOW THAT

36. get real this is totally a set up, I mean get over it, however he meant it it's a private conversation that all parents have with their adult children and say things that my be over the top. It was a Private conversation, how about invading dogs personal life, This is not the man he is, so leave him alone....Dog you have my support

37. No offense Dog and Beth, but I just tune in to watch Duane Lee, Leland, Baby Lisa, and Tim. But I'm really sick of reruns.

38. Cancel his show, another station will just pick it up and look at the viewers you will lose, please everyone knows This is not DOG, He is not like that he is not a racist, he helps so many people, don't judge him until you have his side of the story.

39. Please, tell me who on this planet IS NOT a racist. (Ok, except maybe the Dali Lama). If you've ever been in traffic and someone of an ethnic persuasion different from your own cuts you off, you may not say it.........but I bet you THINK it. If the lady of an ethnic persuasion different from your own gives you a bad hair cut, you may not say it........but I bet you THINK it. If the kid of an ethnic persuasion different from your own working the Drive-thru window forgets to put your extra large fries in the bag, you may not say it.........but I bet you THINK it. And in any case.......I bet you DO say it. The only difference is, is that no one tapes you illeagally and sells it to the Frickin' Enquirer.

43. whine whine whine. Politcal correctness gone rampant again. whine whine whine. People need to stop being so overdramatic and get over it. We cant say anytihing anymore. whine whine we cant say "nappy" apparently that is "racist" now. whine whine. we cant ask a cop if he is jewish like gibson did because that is "anti semitic" boo hoo whine whine

now we got to hear fat al and crybaby jesse whine about this non stop. if these 2 worried about black crime rate and all their other problems as much as they worry about this nonsense, blacks wouldnt be that bad off.
