Meltdowns
Dog Loosed from Goose Parade

Duane "Dog" Chapman may have thoroughly cooked his own goose with an N-word-laced rant, but now he's burning another Goose -- the long-running San Diego parade -- by pulling out just days before the festival.
Dog Chapman
TMZ has learned that Dog has ditched the 61st Annual Mother Goose Parade, where he was originally scheduled to be part of the "Walk of Fame," along with celebs like Katharine McPhee, Drake Bell, and Roselyn Sanchez. Lucky for animal lovers, Sylvester the Cat, Daffy Duck and Tweety Bird will be there.

Meanwhile, a source tells TMZ that the revelation that Dog's son Tucker was the one who sold his father's rant to the National Enquirer isn't so shocking -- given that he's done it before. We're told that just a few months back, Tucker was paid by the tabloid for a story about his dad disappearing.

UPDATE: Turns out it was the other way around: the Dog was looking forward to doing the parade, but they were the ones that canceled on him. Wonder why?

136. The only regret Dog should have is not smothering that little bastard of a son in his crib when he was a baby.

138. What some of you fail to realize is that not ALL people of color use the "N" word or any other word that is derogatory/offensive to any ethnic group. There is no rapper/activist that speaks for me or my family. ANYONE that is ignorant enough to use that word or any other ethnic slur in ANY way shape or form should be penalized for doing so.

For those of you that say it was a private conversation and therefore we should not judge "Mr." Chapman, you must realize that nothing brings out the true feelings in a persons heart like anger or alcohol. A&E and every other network in the world has to consider thier bottom line before they consider anything else and when "Mr." Chapman's words were made public there were some advertisers who were smart enough to realize that his feelings were not representative of thier company and felt it best to pull thier advertising which in turn cuts into the profit margin for A&E. For the advertisers that is simply smart business, period.

"Mr." Chapman made his bed and it is now time for him to lay in it. It is far better that his true feelings were revealed than for the myth of his so called "character" to continue to deceive people, particulary children any longer.

If you're a racist then be a racist and be proud of it but don't hide behind the veil of "I was angry" to excuse your behaviour.

139. I feel that everyone has said or even written something that they never wanted to become publicized. None of us are perfect and things are often said in the heat of an argument. I also think that there is much more to the entire issue than has been divulged. It's not for us to judge anyone else. In the Universal scheme of things things always work out as they are supposed to.

140. We live, once more, in the time of Big Brother -- and we have racists patrolling other racists. There was a time when parents taught: "Stick and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." We know words can hurt, but we were taught to move on. In today's world, we are wuzzified and politically correct Big Brothers who are taught to sue and claim a piece of flesh. Are we more civilized now, or have we allowed the legal system to instill morals and values while we loose our own grasp of morals, common sense and manners? And what makes Duke La Cross bashing, Mitt Romney's Mormonism hating Al Sharpton the world's representative for racism, when he himself is a racist? What does Sharpton say behind closed doors, we can have some clues when we review his own personal bias and hypocrisy. And since when are whites the only ones who act as racists? Why don't we highlight and publicize the other racists?

142. All racism should be publicized as it is inexcusable. There is no reason to call anyone anything other than thier name. The use of racial slurs is simply ignorant which in turn reflects the ignorance of the person who uses them.

The fact that so many people seem to feel that the types of people they see represented on television is a true representation of the an entire race is absolutely mind boggling to me.. I don't listen to rap music, never have, never will. I do not use the any racial slurs and will not associate with anyone who does. I do not like Al Sharpton nor am I a fan of Jessie Jackson. They do not represent me and I resent the fact that anyime something happens one or both of them pop in and "speak" for an entire race of people.

It's not right to bash any group of people for any reason, race, religion, sexual orientation, whatever.

146. I think that was a good idea on his part. That parade could prove threaten for him. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2181126/

147. Hey Dog and Momma Dog:

TMZ states that your devoted son Tucker has sold to the tabloids before? If true, it sounds to me like his son has some big time problems other than being a traitor to his own father..
I would be willing to bet the kid is on drugs, alcohol included..To me this does not sound like somebody with a sound mind that would betray his father, mother and siblings..Because they all will suffer from his dirty deed.

I wonder if Dog is enabling Tucker with his problems rather than helping him..and it is going to take more than prayer..Just remember, kids have to crawl before they learn to walk..and it sounds llike Tucker should be left to crawl and hopefully get his head on straight and learn to walk like a man!!

148. This is just crap! A&E pulling the show after suspending production! What the heck ever happened the to the first amendent right to free speech? Especially considering this entire conversation was PRIVATE! Hello?! The operative word here is PRIVATE! And this man can't even say what he wants to during a phone call? WTF??!! And trust good ol Al Sharpton to jump on it like white on rice (no pun intended)!

So much for family loyalty, eh? I'm willing to bet, just watching Beth's nature toward her family, that this poor, confused soul named Tucker won't be allowed in their household for a long while!

Dog, you and your family are an inspiration to me and you guys keep doing the right thing, NO MATTER WHAT!

149. Even christiaons have bad thoughts and occasionally say the wrong thing. Its called being HUMAN. Stand up for dog!

If you support someone with so much hate in his heart and ask viewers to stand up for him then you obviously don't have any integrity and have no business telling others what to do. BTW..what does religion have to do with being a decent person? If you judge people by the color of their skin to say racist, ugly things then you don't deserve the respect of others and should not be on the airwaves.

150. I think Dog is a good man. He is not the only one who uses bad language. What a perverted son to sell out and for a measly $15,000 vs his father's whole career, and I don't mean he should have gotten more. Dog helps a lot of people and has had his share of ups and downs. He learned a lot in prison years ago and I am sure it is hard to not use some of it now and then. There are people that grew up with the horrid N word, but thank God they don't any more. Not many good things to brag about, but this is one of them.
