Robert Wuhl Assume the Position

[nkife]

wtf he's not even teaching anything,

except that short people and those who live 'alternative lifestyles' are somehow not worthy of serious attention

soooooo hilarious!

o.o

[UdoShan]

@nkife he's teaching how the media of it's time (books in this case) can be used as a propoganda machine to shape the way people think. And that "Based on a true story" generally doesn't tell the whole story.

[Docbrown777]

Powerpoint makes it work

[xxFNORDxx]

Yeah, because how Bush got in was so honest eh?

[wildcardalan]

Why do I feel that we had the same trick played on us by the media when it came to Obama.

[roxydog2004]

Robert Wuhl is very underrated their

aren't to many people that can teach like that, wish I was taught like that way back when

[JPStrikesBack]

I'd like to see him compare FDR to GW Bush. If FDR had had the courage to enforce the Treaty of Versailles as GW had to enforce the Gulf War cease fire, Adolf Hitler would have been in a prison cell by 1936 and 60 million people around the world would not have been murdered, but FDR put his own re-election ahead of everything else, while GW risked his. And believe me, he knew he was risking re-election. And his daddy would have told him if he didn't.

[notonau]

i've been looking for this for weeks. i couldn't remember what it was called. i have to find the whole thing. this is one of the greatest things i've ever seen! everyone should watch this! fantastic!

[FUCKYOURGODINTHEASS]

This video doesn't show the part where wuhl cites current president Bush as a descendant of Franklin Pierce, the worst president in history until Bush II.

[rhomis]

YEAH, where is that part?. What a great video on HBO. I hope they come out with more.

[columbusmozart]

I don't think it mentioned that Pierce, aside from being an alcoholic pro-slaver, was also a Democrat. ;)

[sncreley]

Yeah if you read a little more you'd see that modern day republicans have much more in common with that era of democrats than modern democrats do...it's pretty clear which party doesn't like the blacks at the present hour.

[servo1138]

I think this clip is from the 201 show...and the one you are talking about was in 101...that is a great clip though

[JPStrikesBack]

If FDR had had the courage to enforce the Treaty of Versailles as GW had to enforce the Gulf War cease fire, Adolf Hitler would have been in a prison cell by 1936 and 60 million people around the world would not have been murdered, but FDR put his own re-election ahead of everything else, while GW risked his. And believe me, he knew he was risking re-election. And his daddy would have told him if he didn't.

[sniperbait04]

that is without a single doubt, the most intriguing and educated argument since this election began, i would argue against it if i did not agree with you

[Bayonet300]

I love this show. I prayed to God this was a series after seeing this episode, but I think there's actually only two.

[seinfan9]

all history teachers should do their job like this. I actually soak in the info rather than ignore it while bored in class.

[superdumbshit]

I do alot of research an all his stuff is accurate . Yes he does do a great job of teaching and keeps the students interested hell im interested in what he has to say

[brandondtheman]

where does he learn this stuff from hes an actor

[Gettinghitonattheban]

Probably from simple research. I don't think he means to be spot on accurate, as he wants to be funny. Which he is, of course.

[kardonpr]

Well, actors NEED to do research in order to be what they are.

[Pzski99]

So he is an actor so therfore he can't know this stuff? Maybe he learned this stuff in college while he was getting his masters degree.

[digikate813]

If you've seen the whole thing, you know those people who are interviewed in between segments? I think he learned a lot it from them.

[sncreley]

More like brandontheretard aren't you?

[juanm429]

I like this show. He has however made some statements that were incorrect. But even if he's not right, he's still fun to watch.

[crapp2]

which statements were incorrect???? I wanna know because i'm a sucker for knowledge in this stuff,lol

[jameyk1070]

I would like to know the incorrect statements as well. Everything seemed fairly accurate to what I have heard elsewhere.

[Romperjet]

yeah, the other one is hosted at Google video. can't seem to find it here.

[morpheus0013]

Everyone should have to watch both his "Assume the Position" specials. Good stuff.

[mlyXwells]

I absolutely love this guy. His speeches are amazing!
