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.

...Britney must be happy abt this!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....or maybe not!!!!!!!!!.....Dog sure put his foot in his mouth with this one!!...oh boy...nothing left really to say....guess another family torn apart by actions and words and $$$$$$$$$$$'s....sad...
This is great,. Must like Imus he will be schooled, fired and then sue and make bank. What a crazy world.
To MSGEB #50 -- how precious, you loved his show and your 2 yr old the theme music
but you KNEW he had an inkling of klansmen? That is the most ridiculous statement
and phony as heck.
Dog is not a racist. But you may be.
Ah, who are the IDIOTS who let their 2, 3, 4 year olds watch his show?! Good God.
OK, DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER IS NOW AXED, SO HOW ABOUT GIVING LELAND AND DUANE JR THEIR OWN SHOW- I WOULD WATCH THAT
Ok...I'm not hurt by his comment, yes sticks & stones blah, blah, blah. BUT it really annoys me how he's one of the 'I have black friends' people. They may have black, mexican, jewish friends but the minute one actually 'joins' their family it's a totally different story. It's the, "I'll be your friend BUT don't dare try to date one of my kids" mentality.
These types of people don't say it but that's what they're thinking. Awww, how nice he went to black churches and volunteered his time. He's just not willing to bring it into his home!!! Of course he's not going to come out and say he's a racist, it's what's in his heart that counts! COWARD!
Dog can't be a racist. Look at the shots of him and the negroes.!!He
not arresting them Either.

gee, could it be that Dog's remarks were less about race and more about class?
if someone says white trash, whats the first thing you think of? and if someone says the N word, whats the first thing you think of? or list off any of the other 9 million slurs there are out there - when i hear those words, i dont think about the race of the person, i think of their class (or the lack there of).
strangely enough, tmz comes thisclose to coming out and calling britney white trash every damn day, but no one is up in arms about that one....
oh, that's right. a spade is a spade is a spade is a....
Wow, that was an incredibly cruel tirade toward his own son. I can't imagine that Dog was an easy parent to grow up with. The rage in his voice reminded me of that in Alec Baldwin's "rude, thoughtless little pig" message to his 11 year old daughter.
I support A&E's decision to suspend the show, until the entire truth is told.
So Halle Berry thinks all Jews have a big nose -- non-story. If Nicole Kidman had said a wide nose looked "Black" she would have been crucified. Enough of the double standards already. If we are going to "out" racists lets out ALL of them -- including the Black ones eh?
