HD 6 race makes FrontPage

The race in the HD-6 has gone national with an article on Republican candidate Rima Sinclair (aka Rima Barakat) appearing on the pages of FrontPage magazine titled "Israel-Hater Seeks to Infiltrate Government."

Sinclair has caused a bit of consternation in GOP circles because of her ties to Muslim organizations and her defense of Hamas, the extremist Palestinian movement, largely controlled by Iran and now in control of the Palestinian territories.    

FrontPage is a conservative magazine edited by David Horowitz. Some would say that it's neo-conservative in outlook, focusing on foreign policy, Islamic terrorism and the Global War on Terror.

Penned by John Perazzo, author of the book "The Myths That Divide Us: How Lies Have Poisoned American Race Relations" the article is the most exhaustive look yet at the views Sinclair brings to the GOP and the half-truths she repeats, like for example, that she's pro-life.

Last night, her opponent in the GOP primary, Josh Sharf, who is Jewish, was feted in a fundraiser at a private home in Denver. It was attended by about 30 people.

"I'd like to think that all this attention is about me, but I know better," said Sharf. "Naturally, we talked about the unique nature of the race, and the specific differences between my opponent and me.  But people were also eager to talk about state issues, fiscal and social, including taxes, education, water and health care."

The host for the evening, Dr. Neil Dobro, who is the Chairman of a group called "Americans Against Terrorism" addressed the Jewish Republicans on the 19th in Denver about the importance of the 6th HD race. Presumably he focused on Sinclair's ties to terror groups and her aim of a "bloodless jihad" against the US government by infiltration of all areas of government.

Asked whether the FrontPage magazine has brought any new interest to the race, Sharf said that while it had not affected his fundraising efforts yet, he has had "some interested emails, and some preliminary interest from more national media."

"[The FrontPage] article helps keep the focus where it belongs: on her record, and her unsuitability for the position, rather than on her claims of victimhood," concluded Sharf.
