On IMDB, there's a discussion comparing Don Imus and Dog Chapman....People are whining that Imus got fired for use of racial slurs and Dog didn't...
There's a difference....This is why Dog should be forgiven and the media should quit harassing him about this whole incident...
Imus was using racial slurs on the radio, a PUBLIC broadcasting network.
If you say crap like that on the radio or TV, you should be in trouble. TV, radio, and other PUBLIC broadcasting resources are supposed to be objectionable, yes, but they are public nonetheless and people should be careful what they say or do while in public...
Dog used the slurs in a PRIVATE telephone conversation that should have never been taped and released to the media.
Taping someone's private conversations and distributing them without permission is ILLEGAL. Whoever taped the conversation and gave it out should be ARRESTED or FINED for invading Dog's right to privacy.....This whole fiasco is just because Dog is so well known.
Besides, nobody is perfect. Everyone has little slips of the tongue now and then. If people are crucified and eternally condemned for minor slips by others who are imperfect, this won't be a very nice society to live in.
Dog has apologized and is trying to redeem himself, which is what more people should, but don't do.
Don't crucify him unless you are willing to crucify yourselves for your own mistakes and imperfections...
