A&E putting racist piece of shit "Dog" Bounty Hunter back on the air
http://www.reuters.com/article/televisionNews/idUSSP8436520080220

Fucking unbelievable. Mere months after yanking him from the air because of his use of a racial slur, A&E is giving him another shot? There can't be many more disgusting examples of human filth than this guy.

3. wait, what does A&E stand for?
I've assumed it meant Arts & Entertainment but I just looked at their site and it seems like mostly junk they're showing. I guess they're counting on making money from showing that kinda crap, I'm sure he's at least one person's role model :eyes:

5. Don't know if even Glen Beck is this revolting
The guy sports a mullet that would make Billy Ray Cyrus envious; he leads a posse of ruffians, spouting more religious bullshit than your average Sunday morning televangelist, all while doing his vigilante crap. The man is physically disgusting to look at, his actions are reprehensible, he's a religious hypocrite (ok, that might be redundant), and now we know he's a racist to boot. Sorry, but you don't just whip out the "n" word in a private conversation if you haven't been using it for awhile. I'm not buying his mea culpa act, he's just sorry that he got busted.

8. he hunts for people on a tiny island while dressed as a pro wrestler
what a joke.

Come with me to Atlanta and join us with a US Marshal Fugitive Recovery Team taskforce as we chase after some truly evil people.

Dog is a moron, goofball.

10. I don't watch it either
I caught about 10 minutes of it several months ago, just to see what all the hype was about, and if this guy was as ridiculous as he was made out to be.

To me, this is about tolerating racism, giving people like "Dog" a slap on the wrist, winking their eye, and then bringing him back to probably even bigger ratings than before. People like this asshole and Imus make me want to :puke:

11. How is this "tolerating racism"?
As I understand the story (I didn't follow it when it broke), he used a racial epithet (not on his show), got caught, expressed remorse, had his show suspended (without pay, I assume).

If he is truly repentant, why should he (or anyone else) not be given a second chance?

Or is it "one-strike-and-you're-out"?

15. Actually, it was slightly worse than that...
What happened was that his son was(I think still is), an African American girlfriend, and Dog bitched to his son that he can't use N*gger in his house anymore when she is around. His son decided, the next time he talked to his dad, on the phone, to tape it and gave it to the papers. To be honest, I don't blame his son one bit, if Dog was my dad, in that situation, no one would have found his body.
