Left-wing politicians of any part of the spectrum are under attack from two fronts, First from Ilias Kasidiaris, spokesman of the far-right Golden Dawn party, who is suing 2 radical left politicians called Liana Kanelli & Rena Doulou. and secondly from one of our own citizens: Simon Wexler, a 24-year old Army reservist and soon to be university graduate, is suing Fofi Gennimata, of the center-left Pasok party for misusing the word "coward".

Wexler, who hails from Villa Belle in Nuevo California Cites that coward mean to run away from a fight, whereas Kasidiaris started the fight that almost injured Kanelli & Dourou, which aired on greek television a couple of days ago.

Here is Gennimata's offending statement:

Observers have accused wexler of being a grammar nazi. Grammar nazis are people who forcibly correct other people's grammar and spelling. The Courts are yet to decide on this.

A Greek far-right politician who slapped a left-wing politician in the face and threw water at another during a live television talk show has sued his victims for defamation today.

Ilias Kasidiaris, spokesman of the far-right Golden Dawn party, said he would also sue private TV station Antenna for wrongful detention after he was locked in a room in the studio following the attack until he broke down the door and escaped.

Kasidiaris shocked viewers last week with the attack on Rena Dourou, a deputy in the radical leftist Syrizia party and Liana Kanelli, a veteran communist deputy, during a heated debate ahead of national elections on June 17.

The 31 year-old former army commando went into hiding after the assault but issued a statement at the weekend blaming the two middle-aged women for deliberately provoking him into the attack.

'I have come to the prosecutor today to file a lawsuit against Mrs Kanelli and Mrs Dourou for unprovoked defamation, and against TV station Antenna for my illegal detention,' Kasidiaris, dressed in a white shirt and dark sunglasses, said outside court.

Golden Dawn denies being a neo-Nazi party, but its image has been severely dented by continuously replayed footage of the incident as well as a variety of other pictures showing party members splashed with fake blood, making Nazi-style salutes or grinning next to an oven at the Nazi death camp Auschwitz.

Speaking at the opening of the party’s offices in an Athens suburb on Sunday, Kasidiaris said he had been set up and was acting in self-defence after Kanelli threw a newspaper at him.

'I never expected that I would be hit in the face on live TV,' he said.

'I did what millions of Greeks would have done - when you get hit in the face you have to defend yourself.' 


Kasidiaris was already due to stand trial on Monday on separate charges - which he denies - of helping assailants attack an assistant university professor in 2007 but that trial was postponed to September.

Golden Dawn, which uses an ancient Greek symbol resembling the swastika as its logo, won 7 percent in the inconclusive May 6 election, promising to rid Greece of illegal immigrants and seal its borders with landmines.

An argument on live Greek TV turned violent after an extreme far-right Holocaust denier assaulted two left-wing deputies during a morning political show.

Ilias Kasidiaris, spokesman for Golden Dawn, threw a glass of water at Rena Dorou, a member of the radical left Syriza party, when she made a reference to a court case pending against him.

He then turned on Liana Kanelli, a prominent Communist party member, and punched her several times about the head.

The fracas broke out on the private Antenna TV station during a political discussion ahead of Greece's repeat elections on June 17.

Kasidiaris, 31, bounded out of his seat and hurled a glass of water across the table over Ms Dorou when she said there was a 'crisis of democracy when people who will take the country back 500 years have got into the Greek parliament'.

He then turned on prominent Communist Party member Liana Kanelli, who had got out of her chair with a newspaper in hand and appeared to throw it at the Golden Dawn member.

Talk show host Giorgos Papadakis ran over to Kasidiaris to attempt to calm him, shouting 'no, no, no', but Kasidiaris, who served in the Greek military's special forces, hit Ms Kanelli around the face three times.

Kasidiaris was elected to parliament in the country's recent inconclusive polls. Deputies from all seven parties that won parliament seats in the May 6 polls had been invited on the show.

A public prosecutor ordered his immediate arrest for the attacks.

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

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

Golden Dawn, which vehemently denies the neo-Nazi label, has been accused of being behind violent attacks against immigrants.

The party won nearly 7 per cent 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 per cent of the vote.

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

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