Greece's far right Golden Dawn party on Thursday condemned a decision to expel triple jumper Voula Papachristou from the Greek Olympic team over comments she posted on Twitter which were deemed racist.
“The expulsion of an athlete in the wake of backstage political interventions -- simply because of a joke that is going around the Internet -- proves how miserable and anti-Greek our state and the international bodies that use the Olympic ideals as their own are,” the party said in a statement.
“The only racism in Greece is the racism against the Greeks,” it said.
“Anybody who says even a word against illegal immigrants is held up to public ridicule... It would be more honest to pass a law condemning everybody who has different views to death by stoning,” it said.
Papachristou was due to compete in the London 2012 Games, which officially start this Friday. But the Hellenic Olympic Committee said her posts mocking African immigrants and expressing support for Golden Dawn went against the Olympic spirit.
Papachristou has apologized for the “unfortunate and tasteless joke.”
Golden Dawn, which won 7 percent of the vote in Greece's recent elections on the back of a rising anti-immigrant sentiment, also attacked Democratic Left, a member of the country's governing coalition, for allegedly being the first party to ask for Papachristou's punishment.
“Unfortunately, the country that gave birth to the Olympic spirit -- a spirit that elevated and deified the excellence and superiority of Hellenism -- is dominated and ruled by Marxist parties like Democratic Left,” the party said.
The only thing she did wrong was apologise.
"I would like to express my heartfelt apologies for the unfortunate and tasteless joke I published on my personal Twitter account. I am very sorry and ashamed for the negative responses I triggered, since I never wanted to offend anyone, or to encroach human rights."Source
Oh, we musn't infringe against the new religion of human rights. Human rights is for the western world what Mohammedanism is for the Islamic world: an ideology that generates an almost infine number of practical problems which the affected societies are unable to extricate themselves from because the ideology is seen to have transcendent moral authority. And the number of people who can see through the glittering facade to the hollowness within is tiny.
Papachristou should stand as a candidate for Golden Dawn. She will have a lot of sympathy.

Islam = Liberalism. The same thing. You cross their path and they will attack you and hound you and crucify you.
What she wrote was: ‘‘With so many Africans in Greece… At least the West Nile mosquitoes will eat home made food!!!”
There is nothing racist here. Its a statement of fact. And even of it were so what? She hasnt beaten anyone up, unlike the Africans and Muslims whose preponderance in rapes of White women in Europe is hushed up. Whose preponderance in crimes of violence and muggings, is hushed up.
Leave it to the Lefties to shoot their own team in the foot by pretending to be so righteous and tolerant
Now you see the situation in greece. So many illegal immigrants most from warzones (have seen death, maybe they have caused it too) get packed here.
Europe sends their illegal immigrants here too.. To be expeled to turkey that does not accept them so they stay here.
Many of them turn to crime and all of them pay no taxes and send the money they make in their countries, while they are all usung our hospitals etc etc.
And when a 23 year old dumb girl makes a statement about it the capitalist "warlords" of greece cut their legs
*her legs
The Racist Bitch got what she deserved. I am glad.
I wonder if a muslim made a similar remark, would the Olympic Committee reacted in the same fashion. I seriously doubt it.
This is because these dirty races talk shit all the time, if the white/Caucasian race did this it would be just as fine. But we are a higher level!!.. Fuck multiculturalism!!.. Stuck with it in the USA. :(
