Mr.Paul, who has drawn criticism for a catalogue of controversial remarks about Israel and the Holocaust as well as race and homosexuality, shook hands with Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss at an event in New Hampshire.

On another note, it does bother me when Holocaust denial and racism are equated with criticism of certain categories of voluntary sexual behavior, but that's just me.

I agree, like calling a President, whether Bush or Barry, Hitler. Mainstreams evil. Not many will agree, it's fun. In fairness, the article does collect these things in a group of controversial remarks, which is legitimate but probably lost. And I'm not aware of Paul making controversial remarks about the Holocaust. His business associates and supporters, sure, the most prominent Holocaust deniers of the 20th century, but the author didn't make that distinction.

You mean "voluntary sexual activities" that are capital offenses under Torah (and Noachide) law?

I have a copy of Rabbi Abraham Chill's The Mitzvot. It contains several entries on forbidden sexual activity but not one word about "racism"--or even Holocaust denial, for that matter.
