Duane "Dog" Chapman's son did it
The story behind The Dog Story

Okay, we all know about the whole Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman racial slur scandal. I wanted to know how the hell did this phone conversation get out to the public. Well, we now know, he freaking son recorded it and sold it.
((Television bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman's son taped a private phone conversation in which the reality star used a racial slur repeatedly, then sold it to a tabloid for "a lot of money," Chapman's lawyer said Thursday.))
So, this was a way to get back at his father. What did Chapman do to this kid to make him go to great lengths to embarrass him? This could possible ruin his career, as it is.
((A&E has suspended production of the series, saying the network takes the matter seriously.))
Now, we just need to get rid of the rest of the reality shows stinking up the channels.
Okay, so Dog apologized. My only problem with that is this.
(("I have never seen anything that suggests he judges people by the color of their skin or racial background or anything but on their character," he said. "Duane lost his composure and made very, very inappropriate remarks, for which he truly regrets."))
I can safely say, even in a fit of rage, I’ve never used a racial slur when someone pissed me off. I’ve pretty much called them everything else in the book. I simply don’t think that way.
Why was he really upset with his son dating a woman of color? You had a problem with your son dating a person of color, so admit. I’ve seen countless people say that they don’t like seeing mixed couples and it is usually older people. Young people generally don’t have a problem with this. Older people have to realize the world around them is changing and younger people don’t have the same hang ups as the older generations.
I certainly don’t. I’d date pretty much anyone of any race or any religion as along as they respected. (At this point, my standards in dating are pretty low, I’d date a dwarf.) Then again, I was brought up not to prejudge people by their race. (Now, hairstyles and clothing are a different story). Remember, it’s the way someone acts and treats others that is important.
Okay, I am off my soapbox.

I don't get along with my father, but I would never do this to him.
... oh, and I also found it odd that in "Dog's" book, he used the word "whore," freely, for all the women he slept with... which makes him... what? No matter what, the word whore is just another slur used to call someone another name other than by their real name. Would anyone go around calling Duane Chapman a "jailbird," or an accomplice to a murder? I doubt anyone with any decency would. Duane continues to learn valuable lessons. After all, isn't that what he gets paid to teach others? Perhaps that's what A&E pulled the show for. Maybe they're not into oxymorons.
I am sorry to hear about your daughter. I have a family member that has been in and out of rehab for most of his life, and has even nearly been killed because of it. However, I can’t imagine the pain that you’ve gone through. Thanks for your personal thoughts and sharing them here.
SamuraiFrog: Agreed, lol. I just googled her (that sounds kind of dirty). She certainly has been keeping herself busy. Heck, she’s even starred in a couple of real movies. I would certainly look strange taking her out to dinner. I’m sort of a tall man!
