''Sam Hyde'' is neither rightwing nor a comedian, ''Sam Hyde'' marks the final schizophrenic collapse of both comedy and right wing politics.

>Sam Hide (listed in some sources as Sam Hyde) is a historic or apocryphal character in the folklore of New England, used in the folk saying "to lie like Sam Hide".[1] There is no record of the death of a Sam Hide in the records of Dedham, Massachusetts though he is said to have died in 1732,[2] however Sam Hide is noted at age 105 at Dedham as being a sachem, chief or sagamore who first and last were, to a greater or less degree, land-holders, and leaders of the multifarious tribes of New England.[1]

>Hide was said to be a Native American, a great wit, and an infamous cider-drinker and liar.[3] It has been speculated by James Wimer that Sam Hide may be a composite of several early anecdotes and stories.[4]
