Greek far-right Golden Dawn MP wanted for assault
Greek prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for the spokesman of the far-right Golden Dawn party after he slapped a left-wing politician in the face on live television.
Ilias Kasidiaris, who was elected to Greece's parliament in last month's elections, was debating with two female politicians on a chat show.
Video footage shows him throwing a glass of water at one of the women.
When the other intervened, he slapped her in the face three times.

Guess the Greek far-right treats women the same way the American far-right does.

Is this what politics is coming to? The economic crisis is allowing these extremists to gain power, it's really disturbing.
Golden Dawn's leader, Nikos Michaloliakos, has also denied the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz and questioned the Holocaust, but he rejects the label neo-Nazi.

Just hearing that you would think it was mutual. Gigi Stone told the story and clarified somewhat, and did say that it was the Golden Dawn member that started it.
