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."

61. Dog is a human being. IT WAS A PRIVATE PHONE CALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not a public appearance. Besides feeling terrible about the stink it raised, he's got to deal with the fact 2 sons have sold him out. A good guy said the wrong thing. Lets move on.

62. PRIVATE conversation...period..like alot of other comments on this site, he said he was sorry and i do believe him..but it was a private conversation...my son's black friend came over a couple of weeks ago for dinner and when he walked into the house he said to me, "waz up Ni**a,"..i thought it was hysterical, but then asked him why do all u kids have to use that word....he told me it was, "a word they use for their friends, a good thing he told me," i asked him why he couldn't call his friends bud, buddy etc...that's not the way it is momma...and one of my best girlfriends who is also black, calls me her Ni**a bitch...whateva....listen to rap music and it flows out of their mouths constantly....so what's up with that...and to spew such nasty comments about the way the Dog's posse looks is so ignorant, it's their style...i would love to see some of you people, walk into one of my parties or go to the biker bars that i go to and call these people names....your ass would be grass....everyone has their own style of dress etc., it's a free country.....stop the hate people and do something constructive with your lives like send a package, holiday card or e-mail to one of our soldiers fighting for our country....these human beings don't see color, nor do i...have a good one

63. Isn't using the term "white trash" a bit racist? You could just say "trash" but, no...using "white trash" instead is better? Very interesting...and very sad. And while we're so busy attacking others on their appearance or bad actions, maybe we should take a moment from our busy lives to purchase a spelling primer and a plain English handbook - your spelling, grammar, and sentence construction are tragic.

Can't wait until we're all racially mingled and mixed - then nobody can hate on another for being "white" or "black" or "latin"...we'll all be the same and mixed and beautiful! Except for the morons who cannot spell, use proper grammar, or construct a basic sentence in their native language.

64. Jerry Lee Oliver was killed in September, 1976.
Dog the Bounty Hunter, and friend were visiting Jerry.
Kurkandall (the friend) pulled out a shotgun, and commanded Jerry to give him all of the pot that he had.
Jerry said "No", and grabbed the barrel full of pot, and Kurkandall shot the gun, and ran.
Dog followed.
Less than 8 hours later, Jerry Lee Oliver died.
The next morning, the radio announced that Dog had killed Jerry.
Therefore, the police found Dog and arrested him.
In 1977, Dog the Bounty Hunter was sentenced to 5 years in jail, also to do nothing but hard labor in a Texas prison.
He ended up serving less than his sentence, he was finally released out of jail Feb. 6,1979 (less than 2 years in jail).

He was exhonerated. Murderers don't get out after 18 months.

66. I find it hilarious that some of the people that are making such a big deal over the "racist" comment he made IN PRIVATE are bashing him with oh wait what is that more racism.. Get the hell over all of it.. At least what he said was in private. I find it very hard to believe that every one that is so offended by it doesn't say any thing racist in the privacy of their own homes! If a black person says some thing racist to a white person it doesn't get near the publicity as a white to black. This is such old news now..

68. Why should dog give an apology for using a word that is commonly used by rappers?

70. Forgive him for what? Really. ALL people talk s**t. All the time. Most just aren't trapped into a public airing.

Good god, those two are so country-ghetto! Just look at whatshername! What a piece of trailer trash she is! Maybe she and Twitney can get together and go shopping for shiny things.

A&E, do the right thing and shut those dumpster divers down permanently!

These folks, George "Dubya" Bush and their supporters give this nation a bad name and are what's wrong with this nation.

They all are the quintessential Ugly Americans.

72. I have nothing to forgive. I read much worse right here on TMZ on a daily basis. Not only racists remarks, but gay slurs, fat insults and women being called all manner of vile names. Clean up your own backyard before you start complaining about others.

73. I hope he gets his show back its ok for a black person to call another black person the N word but when a white person says it look out i dont blame him those were his personal feelings he doesnt want his son having an interracial relationship i wouldnt want my kids dating or marrying out of their race and if thats being prejudiced TOO DAM BAD to each their own leave the man alone get a life everything always gets all blown out of proportion when it comes to a black person being insulted DEAL WITH IT white people are insulted everyday of their lives i guess the word cracker, honky is ok to be called i should run to the news everytime that happens nothing but big freakn WHINERS HERES SOME CHEESE

74. I DO forgive Dog. What he said was awful, but he has begged for forgiveness. And his tears seem so genuine. Let's not forget the man has suffered so much in his personal life. He buried his daughter just a little over a year ago. He has also always been so forgiving towards others.

Should we not show him a little mercy now? I continue to love him and his family.

75. Enough already if he was black & said something about white people this would not be happening. Has everone forgotten he was having a PRIVATE Conversation with his So Called Backstabbing son. We are all Human & at some point whether you are white, Black red, brown or purple have said something about another Race & if you say you havent you are a lying. As for A&E until they put the Dog back on I wont watch. Does every single thing have to come down to Race?
