> If you think the far left are beyond these types of comments
Who mentioned the far left? And why would it matter what other extremists do?
This sounds like "yes but what about..", and I see it in several comments here but I don't understand it. How does that matter? There could be a similar dump from another party or organization and people would (rightfully) be equally upset.
Of course if a party - even internally - emails really crude racism and antisemitism then people should know. Their "core" voters don't care. But for a party to get 20-25-30% of the vote, it needs a _lot_ of votes from people who are repulsed by this.
