Dog's Apology Tour: Barking Up the CNN Tree

Duane Dog Chapman continued his tour of contrition last night -- pleading for forgiveness on "Larry King Live," one night after doing the same on "Hannity & Colmes."


During the hour-long conversation, Dog tried his best to keep the apologies coming, at one point he even started to whimper when talking about his wife Beth's reaction to the shameful situation.


TMZ caught Chapman on his way out the door where he gave our camera a message to his fans -- "Please forgive me."

212. Just wanted to say that I have read in a few comments this-----that some blacks say the N word too, not just some whites, get over it, or if you don't like it, go back to Africa-----what a lame thing to say! Black Americans don't belong in Africa anymore than I do. Most black Americans are descendants of people for Africa!! Black Americans are just as much American as I am, they were BORN HERE!! So black Americans can just as easily say to whites, go back to England, or France, or Europe, whatever. go back to Africa, that is such a really dumb thing to say.

216. I think he has learned his lession. Everyone should stop using the N word and realize we are all human Beings. Leave him alone. He is doing a lot good. Dog don't stop going after the bad guys. While we are at it lets get rid of another sick word illegitimate.

217. #2 ecarg-----in your comment that you posted, you said 'Why would we forgive a racist?" You also stated "You don't need forgiveness". Gosh, Gee Whiz---if you are a black person, then you are prejudiced as well as being unforgiving. What values do you hold dear? just wondering

219. I agree with the fact that the conversation was said and meant to be private ( between him & his son ) . which is more then covered in the constitution of the united states ,as well as ones civil rights . And again , I agree with the statement that was tpyed or comment posted earlier ,( everyone is usually sorry when they are caught ) / especially when and if it attacks or threatens ones ( bank account or the manner in which one has becoming comfortable with as far as a way of live ) .
The question is : did or does he really mean the ( apology that was set out to the public or his so called fan ) !!!!!!!
The answer ( the way I see it is : ( don't think he meant one word of it ) . NO ONE STOPS BECOMING A RACIST OVER NIGHT .

Forgivness comes from God , NOT MAN OR WOMAN .....
I really dont see the black fans or community forgiving him anytime soon / if ever ......

IT BEST TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ( KEEPING THOUGHT AND ISSUES LIKE THIS TO YOURSELF ) , rather then open it and remove all doubt .....

GOOD LUCK and best wishes to the rest of his family in your recovery process frm this.
P.S. not that color or race plays a part in my life in any degree since the viet nam era in my life in which i proudly fought, I realize that human beings are human beings. But. I am realistically a black man who was offended and hurt by such a statement by someone so openly in public (black viewers also play a part of the ratings of your show).

221. I don't think the Dog blew anything. Rappers are keeping the word alive and kicking

This is so not an issue.

224. Dog is so fake. He drummed up a few tears cause he knows that his paycheck has vanished just like flicking off a lightswitch. Sure they are going to have the bail bond business but that wont be anything compared to the bucks he was paid for the show. Now the big mouth uneducated mullet head and his troupe of court jester rejects are back to where they started......ground zero. It is the same as people like Dog winning the lottery and having nothing to show for it in only a short time. Nobody is gonna miss The Dog or his misfits. They were laughed at more than admired anyway. Back to the Dog Pound.

225. It's none of our business. His son is the one that should be held accountable for taping his conversation with his Dad. That will tell you something about the kid. Kick the kids butt--Dog.
