Qube TV: The Conservative YouTube
By Wendy Cook | April 4, 2007
Not just another political site, Qube TV will offer many topics such as: sports, entertainment, video games, books, music and religion.


If you're not already familiar with Qube TV... you should be! This "conservative YouTube," if you will, is trailblazing the way for conservative New Media. The vision of the three-week-old venture is to be a communal place for conservatives to gather without the fear of censorship or the concern that their news, ideas or videos will be suppressed or flagged as hate speech and deleted into thin air.

"I look at Qube TV as, if you will, a Home Depot for the videos, still pictures, social networking and blogging of the conservative movement," said Qube TV creator Jeff Lord in an exclusive interview with Accuracy in Academia. "Anyone who wants their own blog, their own website, will have it."

Not just another political site, Qube TV will offer many topics such as: sports, entertainment, video games, books, music and religion. "If some young conservative guy wants to pour out his soul about finding a young conservative girl�we want him to come and set up his own space and pour out his rightward heart!" explained Lord. "There are as many topics of interest as there are conservatives�which is to say a lot!"

Will there be standards? "Sure. No pornography�we're a family site. And if some al-Qaeda type sends footage of an American kid being killed, unlike the New York Times, we will have the common sense and decency to get the thing removed ASAP�as conservatives we are big believers in the Constitution, which includes the First Amendment," pointed out Lord.
...


Note: Accuracy In Media is a bigtime wingnut site, but I thought the :rofl: value was worth the post.

1. They never fail to come up with silly ideas
Perhaps they can also offer that silly Pat Robertson soap opera from the 80s, "Another Life"

2. This explains it.
My personal freeper has stated in the past that she "hates youtube".

I CANNOT get past that. I GRILL her on that one. "WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE? It's
just crap thrown up on a site for you to view!".

She "hates" it.

Seems they must delete conservative hate speech.
Seems they DON'T delete REALITY (re: liberal media)

Well, this should be more to her liking.

NOW I get it....

3. No doubt what she does not like is when she is shown links of her Republican heroes, blatantly lying
or making a "Macaca" like ass of themselves.

6. I asked her about that specifically.
She didn't even know about youtube's role in the "Virginia Macaca Uprising".

I think she listens to Limpballs. She MUST get it from there.....

He must be telling them not to watch youtube. Or how BAD it is....

9. Here's another ironic excerpt from the promotional article:
Edited on Sun Apr-15-07 03:54 PM by Mayberry Machiavelli

As to the effect of videos and blogging on the 2008 election, Lord personally believes that 2004 was the "blogger election" (Dan Rather/ National Guard story) and 2008 will be the "online video election."

"Somewhere along the line in this election cycle someone with a camera somewhere in America will wittingly or unwittingly capture something that, when it is surfaced—hopefully on Qube TV—will have a dramatic impact on the election. I'm not sure if that "victim" will be Republican or Democrat, but I think this is almost inevitable given the number of people walking around with cameras," said Lord.


Hmmm seems like they skipped an election, and couple of videos:

15. Yes but the irony is, they'll still get a million times more views "zinging" a Democrat by posting
it on YouTube rather than the 28 members of their own site.

11. "without the fear of censorship..."

What the hell do these conservatives want to post?!? :shrug:

14. Oh, that has all the markings of a succesful venture!
...Just like all their other takes on Media we love. Y'know, like the "1/2 Hour News Hour" or Whatever the hell that Disney counter-film was against "Fahernheit 911" or setting up Dennis Miller with his own radio show....I could go on, but who really remembers all these failures?

Give it up, RW. You're neither funny nor cool in the zeitgeist of pop culture!

17. So HATE speech is welcome
quote from the article

"The vision of the three-week-old venture is to be a communal place for conservatives to gather without the fear of censorship or the concern that their news, ideas or videos will be suppressed or flagged as hate speech and deleted into thin air. "

19. OMFG, is that real? What is wrong with these psychotics? Conservopedia, QTube, what else?
What do you do when your beliefs don't pass the cruel tests of truth, fact, and reality? Create your own alternate reality, of course!
