    Did he not batter into bag of ephedrine before he took to the stage? Half an hour of slow burn then 2 hours of rage at the eternal Jew.

    I suppose preferring his paintings to Churchill's makes one a fascist sympathiser too.

    Churchill sounds odd and slightly forced occasionally.

    Both however both could control a crowd and populace superbly.
    Exactly
    you should read Victor Ehrenberg on Oratory styles

    He wasn't fond of being called "the Bohemian Corporal" (Hindenburg).

    He was a better orator than the average man on the straße but obviously fear played a huge part.

    Why does anyone care about UKIP? Shouldn't they be looking at pictures of orange essex "ladies" and and wondering how much their houses are worth?

    hmm using Hitler as an example.

    I can only assume that anyone who thinks that doesn't speak German.

    His "great oratory" skill was whip up a mob in a frenzy of hatred, ranting and raving.

    Not completely convinced that's a good example.

    Hitler was a brilliant orator.

    Untold thousands have studied and appreciated his techniques without then marching out of the house and into Poland.
