  I'm not going to argue over it, and yes, nearly any argument against Nazis turns ad hominem. Here's a bit more context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg1S9n81ras http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg1S9n81ras But am pretty sure one can rationalize their way out of anything.

    What context? They received free server space and bandwidth from an ISP owned by a guy who some connections to so called extreme right-wing parties. What exactly does that prove? A guy who turned out to be a neo-nazi once bought me a couple of beers, does that make me guilty by association?

      The connection is not as superficial as you like to present it. Lundström was a major backer of The Pirate Bay from the start, they would've had big troubles taking off without his help. Lundström went to court along with the four founders, and he was also charged and found guilty back then. Given his history of funding (then extremist) political parties, and his involvement in the PB, it is totally plausible he has a hand in piratpartiet as well. There is quite a bit more between them than just an association. And if it was any other party backed by a Nazi am certain your threshold of tolerance would be quite lower than in this case.
