What about this guy's deplorable comment on Brit Hume's son?

Wouldn't that fall under "Seder made a number of controversial and provocative statements against the conservative Republican party"? --Atsquish 22:31, 24 July 2005 (UTC)

Hebrew name

He pronounced his Hebrew name as "Schmul". I have no idea if that is the correct spelling. Jannine will often call him that on the Majority Report --8bitJake 15:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Fubar Book.jpg

Image:Fubar Book.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Seder on Sunday show ending

I'm not sure if this belongs here or at the Majority Report article (there is no Sam Seder Show article), but the last Sunday show on AAR will be June 1 2008, according to his website. Huw Powell (talk) 22:29, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Notability tag

I added a notability tag because there are no 3rd party sources linked to this article that confirm Sam's notability. The links for citations are either broken links, links to Sam's work, links to Sam's website, or links to his employers website. So please instead of deleting my tag add citations from 3rd party sources if you know of any that exist. TWilliams9 (talk) 15:37, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Seder is definitely notable. See WP:Notability. If you have trouble with the quality of sources, that is a different matter. And there is a tag on the article requesting better sources. Kingturtle (talk) 17:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Well since that tag has been up since May 2008 can I remove the unsourced material now? TWilliams9 (talk) 18:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Place a {{fact}} tag at the end of sentences or paragraphs that you specifically want citations provided. That way other editors will know and be able to fulfill your requests. Kingturtle (talk) 19:12, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Okay, will do! TWilliams9 (talk) 19:25, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Extensive and undue use of copyrighted quotes

With guidance from WP:QUOTE (an essay), I'm concerned about the extensive use of direct quotes in this article via the Notes section. Especially considering that direct quotes are copyrighted material, I'm not seeing the benefit to the reader of including the entire quote within the note compared to simply citing the quote through a footnote (which is already the case since the notes are cited to footnotes with the direct link to the source). I suggest replacing most or all of the existing Notes with footnotes that directly link to the source of the quote. Axem Titanium (talk) 21:56, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

MSNBC controversy terminology

"Firing", "hiring", "rehiring" don't make sense due to the nature of guest appearances being not regular employment, and that MSNBC never terminated their contract but declared not to renew it with Seder. Not sure what to replace those words with so I've left them for now. Onetwothreeip (talk) 23:07, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Sam’s Libertarian party “run”

Sam’s doing this in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. He may “run” as a Libertarian, but he is affirmatively anti-Libertarian, calling it a “corrosive” ideology, at one point. Anyone who wants to add in references to this effect, please do!

I will have difficulty in adding this in, as it takes me forever on my iPhone (my last edit to Judge Emmet G. Sullivan (diff) literally took me about an hour of preparation to make just that one edit). If no one else does it, I may do it myself, but I find this prospect quite daunting, and I’m not inclined to. However, it should be done, as it makes it look as though Sam has switched party and philosophical allegiances (for those whom skim the article, at least). He hasn’t. Context to this section is sorely needed, IMO. Thank you. Hamamelis (talk) 20:44, 16 February 2019 (UTC)

FYI: User:Onetwothreeip edited the section to clarify that Seder would be a satirical candidate in the event he "runs" for the Libertarian nomination.--A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 01:09, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

Thanks A. Randomdude0000, for letting me know! Thanks Onetwothreeip, for your judicious edits! Hamamelis (talk) 09:18, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
