Sam Seder, down in the front lines of the War on Christmas:
PHILLIPS: Let's start with the holiday card. What do you think, Sam?
SEDER: Listen, as far as the war on Christmas goes, I feel like we
should be waging a war on Christmas. I mean, I believe that Christmas,
it's almost proven that Christmas has nuclear weapons, can be an
imminent threat to this country, that they have operative ties with
terrorists and I believe that we should sacrifice thousands of American
lives in pursuit of this war on Christmas. And hundreds of billions of
dollars of taxpayer money.
PHILLIPS: Is it a war on Christmas, a war Christians, a war on
over-political correctness or just a lot of people with way too much
time on their hands?
SEDER: I would say probably, if I was to be serious about it, too much
time on their hands, but I'd like to get back to the operational ties
between Santa Claus and al Qaeda.
PHILLIPS: I don't think that exists. Bob? Help me out here.
SEDER: We have intelligence, we have intelligence.
PHILLIPS: You have intel. Where exactly does your intel come from?
SEDER: Well, we have tortured an elf and it's actually how we got the
same information from Al Libbi. It's exactly the same way the Bush
administration got this info about the operational ties between al
Qaeda and Saddam [...]
KNIGHT: These businesses are taking millions and millions of dollars in
from Christians, in particular, and others who celebrate Christmas,
giving gifts in the name of the Christmas season, and yet they're so
worried about offending people like my opponent here that they don't
want to mention the word Christmas. People are sick and tired.
SEDER: Bob, it's the holiday time, I'm not your opponent.
KNIGHT: Yes, you are. Yes, you are.
SEDER: I do agree with Bob. I think what should happen is companies
should calculate how much money they're getting from people who are
celebrating Christmas and provide exactly that much amount of Merry
Christmas, because that is exactly how I would want any type of
religious holiday to be celebrated [...]
SEDER: Hannukah is not a high holiday. Our high holidays are Rosh
Hashanna and Yom Kippur, which I'm sure Bob has been protesting why
there are not more Yom Kippur sales or Rosh Hashanah sales during those
holidays. Why shouldn't there be, right Bob?
KNIGHT: If that was associated with that holiday, then maybe I would
join you. But it never has been.
SEDER: Bob, have you ever protested Martin Luther King Day not being
celebrated. Do you resent when people don't say "Happy Martin Luther
King Day" a month out in advance?

And another thing... I think it's high time that someone pointed out
that Macy's, Target, Walmart et al have nothing to do with Christmas.
Jesus didn't shop at any of them. When Jesus gave a present, he
whittled it himself, or used his own powers of persuasion to raise the
dead or turn the water into wine. Department stores are never even
mentioned in the bible. You don't see "Blessed are the retailers" in
there, do you? Or "Blessed be those who discount deeply, for they shall
inherit the majority of the workforce."
