Dog Chapman has been captured spewing foul-mouthed racist slurs on a tape obtained exclusively by The NATIONAL ENQUIRER.
And now a civil rights leader is calling for Dog's TV show to be removed from the airwaves.
In a shocking world exclusive The ENQUIRER has obtained tapes of two revolting phone conversations in which Duane "Dog" Chapman unleashes a filthy bigoted attack, littered with the N-word and other disgusting racial insults.
The star of the A&E reality show Dog, The Bounty Hunter directed his racist hatred at his son Tucker's girlfriend Monique Shinnery, who is black.
"Dog Chapman should not have a show. That show should be taken off the air!"
That's the opinion of prominent civil rights leader Roy Innis, who has served as the chairman of the Congress for Racial Equality (CORE) since 1968. Innis was shocked and outraged when The ENQUIRER played Dog Chapman's racist telephone conversations for him.
"This man should not be held up as a role model for children," Innis told The ENQUIRER. "He has venom deep in his soul. This is a picture of his heart — a revelation of his true nature.
Innis believes that cable network A&E needs to take swift action in response to Dog's vicious outburst.
"He needs to answer for his behavior," says Innis.
"When someone gets the opportunity to use the airwaves, he becomes a role model, whether he likes it or not. Dog Chapman should not be in that position, posing as a good guy.
"His comments show that he certainly is not a good guy."
Full details are in the new issue of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.
Update: In response to this story, A&E network has released a statement saying: "A&E has just learned of the story released by the National Enquirer concerning Duane Dog Chapman. We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action."

I think your n-word/c-word analogy has a deeper meaning for you ;-)
As far as I’m concerned the phone call is just a much truer taste of reality than we’ll ever see on his show. The people he deals with speak like that all the time. He’s simply a product of his environment.
Personally I find it pathetic that people want to play gotcha over a taste of the real truth.
Remember: Its not so much the "people of color" that are trying to censor us at any term, it is OTHER WHITE PEOPLE, particularly Bourgeois White Women (the women I hate the most. There, I said it) who will go insane if they hear a racial slur, yet avoid blacks/hispanics/Arabs, etc. as much as they can in their real life.
I have been attacked on this site before for making fun of different groups of people, but the most vehement attacks have come from other white people over making "observations" about "people of color."

I love the Dog but what I’ll never understand white people feeling the need to use another person’s race in personal attacks. An arsehole is an arsehole, doesn’t matter what race he comes from. That said, I consider a Christian a Christian, no matter what race he comes from, it’s a brother, a pity Dog doesn’t practice what he preaches, because his strong faith was originally what I liked about the guy.
....and I should add, it’s not that I don’t think people in other races aren’t racist, they most certainly are, it’s just that whites are under a microscope with this stuff and should know better.
It’s like they said on South Park, “If you are going to hurt someone, just make sure they are the same race as you.”
That’s it for the Dog. I had been a fan.
Innis is one of the good guys, btw.
If it was his son who taped him, I think far less of him than I do of Dog.
Never fails. The 1s who talk all about how bad stereotypes are, and how we shouldn’t be racist, etc., are also the 1s least likely to dare step into the ghetto “because it’s dangerous!!!!” I’ve experienced it. They’ll suddenly talk about how “that’s a bad area” with NO problem if you suggest going somewhere to park or whatever.
I’ve listened and listenend to the tape and, OK, I’m stupid. I can’t understand everything he’s saying and ask, is it because the girlfriend is black that Dog doesn’t want his son dating her? Or is it for some other reason. Color me blonde.
From what I understood (listening to the bleeped version), he was saying that the group uses the “n-word” all the time. He’s afraid that if his son brings his black girlfriend around, she will be offended. I THINK he’s afraid she would then tape them saying the n-word, it would be leaked to the press, and ruin Dog’s career.
Which is why it is so ironic, that he used the n-word in having this discussion with his son, who was taping the conversation and leaked it and destroyed his career.
And it is destroyed. Whether it’s fair or not, there’s no way he comes out of this one. You can admit using the n-word. You probably couldn’t get away with punishing your son for marrying a black woman.
But you are NEVER going to get away with objecting to your son being with a black woman because you use the n-word and are afraid she’ll be offended and turn you in.
The solution is to stop saying things that offend the people who are dear to you, or the wives of those who are dear to you.
Not to remove the people who would be offended.
So are we.
Given that: frankly people say all sorts of things privately and to have taped a private conversation and make public and be judged publicly is ridiculous.
Agreed. No one is perfect. HOWEVER, there are two points here to consider: (1) "Dog" makes a living making people's private lives public, including his own. No, I don't feel sorry for those people, but I also don't feel sorry for "Dog". (2) The son had been telling everyone his father talked this way previously, and his father denied it and made the son look like a liar. So, it seems the son wanted evidence.
Once I overheard a group of people using that very word against my family... my children even. (They were liberals, btw.) Then, instead of apologizing directly to me so that we could settle things between us without the story spreading and hurting all of us, they spread a lie around about it. They made me look like the bad person, and my kids suffered as a result. Now, if I had an opportunity to catch them on tape, I'd probably do it.
Thanks!
Do we know who taped him and why? Isn’t that a felony?
no doubt about that....racial indignation is an insatiable emotion for upper middle class peckerwoodettes
that is a good point...
The family is clearly dysfunctional. It’s a mystery to me that the show ever had an audience, or that anyone is terribly surprised at this development.
I have not listened to the tape.
I do not care who others date or have sex with or marry.
I would prefer they be responsible....especially about the eventual outcome of coupling.
However, it is more common than not the world over that folks (this includes parents) prefer to date or marry within their group.
Folks who prefer to buck that trend are free to do so but should not consider those who do not bigoted by default.
I do not think that makes a racist...but that’s just me and I confess readily to not being obsessed about racism anyhow and think it is far far far overplayed and overemphazised and that it has basically emasculated educated whites from being realistic and at the same time enabled non whites to say anything....except offend homosexuals (see: Isaiah Washington)
So....Doggie....hmmm....I’m ambivalent...don’t much care to tell the truth.
Lot more important things that some sorta crude unusual white folks saying tacky things.....
