TMZ has reached out to Dog the Bounty Hunter for comment on his racist rant, caught on audiotape and published by the National Enquirer. We were told Dog would not say anything, but we were referred to his pastor.
Pastor Tim Storey, an African-American, told us that he spoke with Dog, who cried for 30 minutes, saying, "I'm shocked, I'm wrong I repent. Can you believe, Tim, that I'm going to be put in the same category as Imus."
Pastor Storey, whom USA Today has referred to as "Pastor to the stars," told TMZ, "I was shocked, because I don't know that to be Duane." He went on, "I felt that he had to be accountable to what he said. When I asked him what took place, why he said it, he said that he was angry with his son about many things."
The pastor, who performed Dog and Beth's wedding ceremony continued, "The subject of his son's girlfriend came up, and in his anger he then attacked that relationship and then therefore challenged the girl by saying she wasn't good enough."
Pastor Story said, "What shocked me was that he used the N word. I know he's not a racist. He's been to black churches with me to help inner-city kids."
The pastor said he talked to Dog three times today and he apologized, saying he wasn't angry at the girl, it was anger toward his son.

Everyone needs to get over it.........Why is it ok only for people of color to use the N word? You dont hear anything when they use it......... AND THATS ALOT... ESPECIALLY IN MUSIC!!!!!!!!!
Ya know people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones. You all act like you are SO PERFECT. No one is perfect. You all need to think about your own lives. We've all said stupid things and frankly we ALL KNOW Tucker is not perfect far from it. I hope all that money was worth it tucker. Whats worse selling out youre family or that word. I just hope that 875,000 keeps him warm
I say BRING BACK DOG BRING BACK DOG
Everyone has said Dog is Worse than IMUS? NOT!!! His commenst were made in a private convo with his BACKSTABBING son. Imus did it in a public forum that is 1000 times worse. When are we going to get our heads out of our asses and listen to each other. Words only have power if you give them that. We need to STOP giving that word power just like the enquirer is.
I SAY BRING BACK DOG
Has it not been said that where MERCY is shown MERCY is given................
Another thing that needs to be looked at is that Tucker was in prison and he is probably on parole.........Tucker probably needed a fast buck and sounds like he would do anything to get it......He was not getting the fame and fortune that his dad and siblings are getting....Tucker: you have made things worse not only for your dad BUT sister and brothers including yourself Makes a person wonder if your current girlfriend will stick around forever???
First sucessful open-heart surgery in America!
July 9
*On this date in 1893, the first successful American open-heart surgery was performed by a black Doctor.
Dr. Daniel Hale Williams completed the operation on a young man named James Cornish. He had been rushed to Provident Hospital in Chicago with a stab wound.
Sometimes open-heart surgery is referred to as an invasive procedure
this for you all racist.
Society has turned us all into animals and all we do now is look to see what statement is said by whom so that we can turn it into a media frenzy and someone get rich off of it. I think it's time we all grow up and see that we are all God's children and we are letting him down. They say God never gives us more than we can handle, but are we handling this? The word is in the dictionary and it is not abbreviated. It is an actual word in our language. Said in the right context, anyone of any race is one...it's an ignorant person, and right now, that is all of us! We don't say "B" word for Bitch, or "W" word for whore, or "Q" word for Queer, yet society says these words everyday to people to hurt them. Let's all practice what we seem to be preaching and quit using these hurtful words in any conversation that may hurt someone else's feelings that around and hearing it. It doesn't matter if it's your friend you're saying it to or not...if it would hurt you said to you by someone else, don't use the word at all. That's the only way to make words such as these dissapear. Until then, they are English words that are used maybe way to often.
all you morons out there hating the DOG hate yourself first because you know you are guilty of one time or another having said something in time of anger. You are envious of this man he has more than you all. It takes a man to admit he is wrong and he is 125% genuine man. Check out the girls background before you talk. I would have done the same and so would all of you when it comes to your kids. HE IS NOT A RACIST stupid people the KU KLUX CLAN ARE AND THE WHITE SUPREMIST YOU IDIOTS. BRING IT ON ! ALL of you have used the N word once in your stupid uneducated lives and what are you doing to help our world. Bet you all let your kids buy the filth in rap songs and listen to it morons. DOG WE LOVE YOU IN TEXAS AND AM BEHIND YOU ALL THE WAY if the shoe fits the girlfriend let her wear it
Be stronge Dog, you will over come this, you are a good person, any everyone is just throwing stones because they are not the one exposed in this private converstaion with your son, whom you clearly trusted....
Como On everyone has made racial and/or gender remarks before atleast once in ther life time, the only diffrent is that it's not a publice matter.. it is clearly that you where angry and where trying to protect your family, it just happen to be that she was black, had she been white you would proably would of called her a trailer trash etc... I understand you are a parent trying to make this son realized she is not a good person not becuase of his color but because of who she is, however most people are focusing on the "N word" not the "Bad Infuence" . Your son betrayed you.... you did not betrailed anyone.. You did not brake any Laws or Insulted the Whole Black Community .
I think if anyone should apolozied should be your son and shame of A&E for being a part of this BLACKMAIL sistation.. Instead of supporting you for the person you are and realizing this was a privated converstation between a parent and a son, and only involving one black person no a whole community, i think they are too in defult.. I hope another Network picks up the show .. that way you do not have to be part of a network that gave you thier backs when you needed the support.... you don't need that kind of network to represent you.. i will never again watch A&E me and all my friends and family would foward the news...
PS i have lots of black friends and relative and we too aggree..
we wish you luck... we will follow the show.
I am so sorry that he feels this way. I am african American and I was a real big fan of his. I can no longer support him. They should send him to jail in Mexico. I even signed his partition to save him from that fate. Now I do not give a damn what happens to him.
Just to set the record striaght Tim Storey is not a black man but a hispanic man. His father and mother are both hispanic and were born in Vaughn New Mexico. Tim Storey is my husbands cousin and his whole family cannot believe that he is out there portraying himself as something that he is not.
Why don't all you guys who are judging 'dog' look up the "n-word" in the dictionary to find the true definition. The word does NOT mean a black person. Leave 'dog' alone!!! He said NO MORE (but A WHOLE LOT LESS!!!) than the hip hop "artists" and black comics. Can't a man who has done a lot of good for society make a mistake and be forgiven? If not, can you really call yourself an AMERICAN?
Dog did not insult the hair (well deserved) by Imus. He insulted the color of the her skin.
Maybe he should have been Imus. New job, more money and a vacation.
#19,You hit it on the head,we all hurt the ones we Love!!!!!!!,But to comare the i man and the Dog,unless your batterys are dead in your hearing aid,I was watching Imus that morning,And Bernie and Sid started it,,i laughed,as I did for 35 years,As he has allways said,"This isnt your mothers radio program" One of the top 25 most influncal people in the usa,twice,Not to mention all the good,,Do people forget???????
I could not believe it when my wife came home,she's not crazy about Imus,,so she doesnt listen,,EASY ENOUGH!!!!!!!And I Honest to God,thought she was pulling a practical Joke!!!!!!I watched it live at 6:15 that Morn,,,You dont get to where he got by being your avg disc jockey,or make that kind of money,,Just happpy he will be back shortly!,,,The IMan is a cash cow,and the loyalty he has shown to his staff!!!!!Things I cant put into print,But any fan knows how he takes care of his people that work for him,,Hopefully Fox will pick up the TV part,,a money maker all the way,,Good Job # 19,Freddie
