ATHENS,Greece —Greece's election campaign turned ugly Thursday on live TV: The spokesman of the extreme-right Golden Dawn party,after trading insults of "commie" and "fascist," lunged at two female left-wing politicians on a mainstream morning talk show, throwing water at one and smacking the other three times across the face.

The violent display reminiscent of trash TV,a week and a half ahead of crucial elections, stunned Greeks as they seek to avoid a catastrophic exit from the common euro currency. Prosecutors immediately issued an arrest warrant for Ilias Kasidiaris,whose party alarmed Europe by gaining 21 of Parliament's 300 seats in Greece's inconclusive May 6 elections.

Golden Dawn,which vehemently denies the neo-Nazi label,has been accused of violent attacks against immigrants in Athens. The party denies involvement in the attacks,insisting it is a nationalist patriotic group campaigning on a platform of ridding the country of illegal immigrants and cleaning up crime-ridden neighborhoods. It has advocated planting anti-personnel mines along Greece's borders to stop migrants from sneaking across.

The attack "put on public display what was widely known," said the radical left-wing Syriza party,whose member Rena Dourou was splashed with water on the show. "The true face of this criminal organization."

Tempers frayed on the daily morning political show on the private Antenna television station during a political debate,to which representatives of all seven parties that won parliamentary seats on May 6 had been invited.

Discussion had turned to the country's natural resources. But it went off on a tangent about political history in Greece,which suffered a vicious civil war between Communists and the right-wing after World War II,and a seven-year military dictatorship that ended in 1974.

Kasidiaris,his temper wearing thin,shot an insult of "you old Commie" at prominent Communist Party member Liana Kanelli,in return for her branding him a "fascist." Kasidiaris also took offense at a reference by Dourou to a court case pending against him.

It all careened into violence after Dourou,58, said there was a "crisis of democracy when people who will take the country back 500 years have got into the Greek parliament." The 31-year-old Kasidiaris,who has served in the Greek military's special forces,bounded out of his seat and hurled a glass of water at her, shouting an insult loosely translated as "you circus act."

Talk show host Giorgos Papadakis –shouting `'no,no,no!" –ran over to Kasidiaris, attempting to calm him down. But a furious Kasidiaris turned on Kanelli,who had gotten out of her chair and appeared to throw a newspaper at the Golden Dawn member.

Kasidiaris hit Kanelli three times –with right-left-right slaps to the sides of her head.

Papadakis tried and failed to restrain him.

The channel cut to a commercial break,and returned five minutes later without Kasidiaris.

The court case Dourou referred to was one in which Kasidiaris is accused of participation in a 2007 attack on a student. He faces charges of assisting in robbery and bodily harm after his car was allegedly used in the incident in which a student had his identity card stolen. Kasidiaris claims the accusation is politically motivated by Syriza members. The case was to be heard in court on Wednesday but has been postponed to June 11.

Papadakis and Kanelli later said attempts had been made to restrain Kasidiaris after the scuffle by shutting him in a room in the TV channel's building,but he broke through the door and left. Police were searching for him to serve the arrest warrant,which under Greek law must be carried out within 24 hours.

"The government condemns in the most categorical way the attack by Golden Dawn spokesman Ilias Kasidiaris against Liana Kanelli and Rena Dourou," government spokesman Dimitris Tsiodras said. "This attack is an attack against every democratic citizen."

Tsiodras called on Golden Dawn to condemn its member's actions.

For its part,Golden Dawn said it was Kanelli who first attacked Kasidiaris,"hitting him unprovoked in the face with a packet of documents."

"Golden Dawn continues its fight for a strong nationalist movement against everyone,and naturally against the orphans of Marx,who dominate on the (broadcast) channels and are playing a dirty propaganda game," the party said in a statement.

"If you want us to condemn our co-fighter for a truly unfortunate moment,you should first condemn the insults and the attack by Liana Kanelli,otherwise you are nothing but sad hypocrites following orders."

Golden Dawn won nearly 7 percent of the vote on May 6,giving it 21 seats in the 300-member Parliament. It was a radical increase from its showing in the previous elections in 2009, when the party won just 0.31 percent of the vote.

Greeks reeling from two years of austerity amid their country's vicious financial crisis punished the two main parties,the conservative New Democracy and socialist PASOK,turning instead to smaller radical parties to the right and left.

The 300 deputies took up their seats for a day last month before parliament was dissolved and new elections called as no party won enough votes to form a government on its own. Negotiations for a coalition government collapsed after 10 days.

"The people voted for them because they didn't know what Golden Dawn was. They didn't know they're a new form of neo-Nazis," said Athenian Maria Misaridaki as she walked through the capital's central Syntagma Square. "They saw the violence. It should open their eyes so as not to vote for them."

This article is clearly biased, obviously OP is either ignorant or part of the lefty trend of nowadays. Just because Kasidiaris bashes two leftist female candidates doesn't mean he bashes every single woman in the planet. Europe is fucked up because of the left, and the only hope for countries like Greece to perhaps rise from this crisis is with governments like these.

I don't justify his violence, but at least he is sincere regarding his ideas, something that most politicians never are. Political Correctness is a fashion, just like Human Rights groups and left wing activism. How would it feel for you to lose your job to immigrants? You'll perhaps tell me that in a few years.

Enjoy your communism. Go judge the right wing after your country is stuck in deep red shit.

You know, arguing with communist party members would probably make me plan an assassination instead. I'd say this racially conscious White special forces veteran acted pretty calmly for having to argue with such idiotic race and nation traitors.

A new dawn is rising, and traitors be damned.

Lol, you would be proud of this :rolleyes:

I'm not proud of what he did or condoning it but what I was saying is that I can understand why he lost his cool... his country is in very bad shape. We have it very good here still, and that is why you don't see that type of stuff here.

You stated " but at least he is sincere regarding his ideas, something that most politicians never are ".

I agree. However neither are the people represented.
I stated my discourse about the B.S. in Ametica and do so in a " in a sincere fashion regarding my ideas, and people instantly said I " hate" America. Yet everything I state is factual and people know this. How do they garner I " hate" America ?
They are under the influence of TV.
It's easier to demean the dissenter when they know it's the truth.
