This is a truly terrifying development in Greece, the rise of its neo-Nazi, anti-immigrant and anti-Semitic Golden Dawn movement that now has 7 percent of the seats in the Greek parliament.
I'm very eager to hear everyone's thoughts on this. I find particularly notable the professor's observation that the neo-Nazis sugar-coat their extremism in order to get into power. We see this, of course, with the Tea Party, which insists it is defending the Constitution.
