The Hague (AFP) - Populist Dutch MP Geert Wilders remained unapologetic as his hate speech trial drew to a close on Wednesday, saying "millions of Dutch citizens will be convicted with me" if he is found guilty.
"If you convict me, you will convict half of The Netherlands," said Wilders, who added: "Many Dutch will then lose the last bit of trust in the rule of law."
“The Netherlands will hold general elections in March and Wilders’s far-right Freedom Party (PVV) is riding high in various polls, a close second or even ahead of the ruling Liberal VVD party.”
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist
The hate the left shows to those who disagree with them is what should be prosecuted.
Trump would do well to have a 4-6 hour meeting with Geert.
Hopefully the Dutch elections next spring will join Brexit/Trump.
“islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist”
Islam is not their main problem, it’s the politicians that invited in the islamists.
He should appoint him Dutch ambassador.
Dutchexit just around the corner
One brave SOB. Trump should invite him the Whitehouse.
Geert Wilders is a great Dutch patriot and defender of Western values. He lives under constant death threats from radical Islamists. The left wants to make him out to be a Nazi, even though he loves Israel, has some Indonesian ancestry, and is one of the most popular politicians in the Netherlands. It’s nonsense. Europe has descended into a place where free speech has already died. I hope this show trial will only help him.
Yes, Italyexit in December, Dutchexit, in March, Francexit in April, Germanexit and Hungaryexit summer/fall
I love this guy and his bravery!
He is a Dutch hero!
He should get the Medal of Freedom from Trump.
Agreed. Hopefully the Dutch will set things right next March.
I hope he wind this one too - he’s a real hero -

Notice how the leftist Yahoo news calls Wilders and his part “far right” but never just “right-wing” or “rightist” as though that position doesn’t exist in reality.
That is how the Left, a la Alinsky, demonizes their enemies.
Words do matter so keep an eye out for the way conservative groups are characterized. The Left is an expert at smearing everyone with the same old Marxist crap.
Yes,...we must constantly push back by labeling the Dems the Far Left.
The Liberals are being jammed into smaller and smaller blue enclaves along the west costal areas and the NE.
The authorities are scared his party will make a showing in the forthcoming polls, so they try to shut it down. Just as their Belgian neighbours did to Vlaams Blok in 2004 when it looked as though that party could win a vote.
Symbolic it may be but I stand with you Mr Wilders!
