Right wing extremist politician Kostas Pleuris, who distorted the historical records ad nauseum in order to justify anti- Semitism, racism and fascism, was critical of Elias Kasidiaris, the spokesperson of the Neonazi party in Greece. Throughout the telecast of his show at TELEASTY TV station in Athens vehemently attacked both the Golden Dawn, and the spokesman of the party calling him a "...coward who can only beat a woman in a dark corner". Pleuris even went so far as to recommending that "Goolden Dawn" 's 420.000 followers must vote for the Communist Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and not the Golden Dawn. "Golden Dawn is the creation of secret intelligence services", he concluded by asking "Who's behind them, who's bankrolling them?".
