A prominent German Nazi historian has compared a Scientology speech by Tom Cruise with Goebbels' "Total war" speech. From The Guardian:
The long-standing antagonism between Germany and the Church of Scientology escalated over the weekend when a high-profile historian compared Tom Cruise's performance in a Scientology video with the style of the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels.

Guido Knopp, who has written a number of books on Hitler and his inner circle, said the video, which surfaced on YouTube last week, "inevitably" recalled Goebbels' speech in a Berlin sports stadium when he asked "Do you want total war?" and the crowd thundered "Yes!"

The Scientology footage shows Cruise, wearing a large medallion and speaking from a podium. "So what do you say, we gonna clean this place up?" he asks. He is greeted by zealous cheers.

No matter how hard I try, I can't shake the belief Goebbel's descendants should be more offended by the comparison than Cruise. :p
 
linky not worky - you just need the yt tags and the ID number (the bit after the v=)....

this is the vid :)


 
And this is Goebbels himself in action.....



i'm not sure you could compare Cruise's oratory skills (in his Co$ vid at least) with those of the Third Reich's propaganda minister.....

I fail to see how anyone could confuse the mouthpiece of an evil regime hell bent on taking over the world with Joseph Goebbels.

Sorry,but Tommy looks NOTHING like Van Stauffenberg.
And He will probably play the role with a accent that is right out of Hogan's Heros.
But I can't wait to see the fun Matt and Trey on South Park have with the Cruise video.
And to make matters complete,apparently Cruise is beginning to talk about a government cover up on 9/11. For him to become a Truther would be just too good.

When I clicked on this thread I thought you meant Gobbles. I thought it was pretty obvious how similar they are, so I couldn't understand the point of the thread. Now that I've read it, it makes more sense. I still think Gobbles would be a better overall comparison for Cruise.

Entertainment Weekly says he's using a Valley Boy accent. His "people" were afraid of him sounding like Hogan's Heroes. :confused:
