Conservatism and Comedy....Qubetv?

Whether or not you're a conservative, liberal, moderate, capitalist, communist, utopianist, hegelian, jacobite, etc..., right wingers just can't seem to make humor work for them. I'm pretty sure that there is a strong enough contingent of socially awkward recluses, or annoying Alex P. Keaton types who would really get a kick out of some of the material. Which is why it exists. However, it's so unfunny that it's cringe-worthy, and it is typical of the "take my ball and go home" mentality of the perpetually martyred right wing. Take Conservapedia, the Fox version of the Daily Show, etc. And of course there's Rush Limbaugh(his comic relief guy Paul Shanklin)....who's just a real racist hoot. Either way, there's a new craze sweeping the conservative nation, and it's their answer to Youtube called Qubetv, and OH MAN IS IT HILARIOUS!! It's just so damn clever the way they use photoshop! In all seriousness though...it appears comedy and the right are mutually exclusive.....so far at least. I wouldn't hold your breath either.
