Doug Hoffman Calls Glenn Beck His Mentor (VIDEO)

While Rush Limbaugh was out proclaiming former GOP candidate Dede Scozzafava "guilty of widespread bestiality," Conservative Party candidate Doug Hoffman was pledging his allegiance to Glenn Beck.

In the latest, strangest twist in the race for NY-23, Hoffman declared Beck a "mentor" of his, and told the radio/television host that he'll "keep in touch" with people like him once he's elected:

HOFFMAN: I have good mentors here.

GLENN: Wait, wait. Wait, wait. Are they mentors that will show -

HOFFMAN: I'm talking about you, Glenn.

GLENN: Oh, okay. I was going to say all right, as long as they are standing out from the shadows. [...]

HOFFMAN: No. Yeah, well, I'm going to keep in touch with people like you so I don't get infected with that disease.

Hahahahaha­hahahahaha­ahha! Mentor?

Too bad we won't get anymore of the Comedy Stylings of Doug Hoffman!

Let's hope that the rethugs continue to eat their own. Since the spineless Dems apparently don't have the stomach for it, self destruction is the next best course in seeking the demise of this despicable movement. In their quest for ideological purity, the extremist right will continue to alienate the rational, who don't advocate against their president, and consequently, the country...simply based on political prejudice.

Beck, who are you going to mentor now???

[Hollyhock988]

Carly of California? Ya think?

[mapmaker515]

Beck and Palin are your mentors? You didn't have to be Nostrodamous to know how that would end.

[kilgore trout]

Judging from the election's outcome, I'd say Mr. Hoffman should pick another mentor.

[Deborah Paley]

You don't even get what I'm talking about.

These are the numbers for the Dem candidate in the district since 1982. If the Dem comes in higher than that this time does this mean Beck loses? 2008 - 35%

2006 - 37%
2004 - 29%
2002 - 0%
2000 - 23%
1998 - 21%
1996 - 25%
1994 - 18%
1992 - 21%
1990 - 38%
1988 - 25%
1986 - 0%
1984 - 29%
1982 - 28%

Unelected radio demagogues are assuming leadership of all things conservative. Fun!

[mravka]

The blind leading the blind.

Somehow du mb and du mber seems more appropriate.

[ramsha]

How pathetic. If Hoffman has to claim allegiance to Glen Beck then the need for institutionalizing him is not very far off.

[tucsoncindy]

hummm " I'm going to keep in touch with you so I don't get infected with that disease " just what
disease is that ????? If this is what we have to look forward to from the GOP we America need
a 3RD Party. I pray for our children's future.

[CanUFeel2012]

THE DISEASE OF INTELLIGENCE. RATIONALITY, EDUCATION, REASON, COMPATION, LOVE, HUMILITY, ACCEPTANCE, UNITY, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT IS GOOD FOR HUMANITY.... . . IN OTHER WORDS... .A DEMOCRAT....

[UpstateSC]

I wondered the same thing - What disease?

[NASW]

You are already infected Hoffman

[acapo]

Infected with VICTORY!

It will be fun when he wins tonight!

[CanUFeel2012]

NOT AS FUN AS WHEN PRES. OBAMA WON....

[CanUFeel2012]

WITH IGNORANCE.... .. .

[Ventura Co California]

Better than with st0pidity (democrats).

[polson]

Having Glenn Beck as your political mentor is like having Sybil as your psychiatrist..

[pdog]

Or Orly Titz as your lawyer

[marco01]

lol fanned pdog.

[Hollyhock988]

Or Rush as your national leader.

[acapo]

GB seems to be doing just fine ...

[pdog]

There's a sucker born every minute.

[marco01]

Really? With all that crying, paranoia, and near nervous breakdowns every show?

[CanUFeel2012]

DELUSIONAL, PARANOID, BIPOLAR, I WOULD SAY HE NEEDS SOME HELP....

[kmswriter]

The Palin affect - right - some of her promoters consider her a treasure - right - like a treasure out of a crackerjack box - hoffman can't vote for himself - not from district - are these voters a species from the bodysnatchers???? sheesh

Turning AZ blue

[monstersfromtheid]

Beck, Limbaugh and Palin are now the real leaders of the GOP, they represent a new threat to democracy - they are THE AXIS OF DRIVEL.

[cloth99]

'Axis of Drivel'! I love it!

[hanz]

You are stoned.

Beck bashes Republicans all the time. He was a big critic of Bush.

[pdog]

He also said McCain would have been worse the Obama.
