Chicago - Carol Moseley Braun quickly exited a mayoral candidate forum at a South Side church Sunday, after lashing out at her opponent with language many in the audience found shocking.

Braun and fellow candidate Patricia Van Pelt-Watkins were in a heated discussion about which candidate was more in touch with the community when Braun went on the attack.

The former U.S. senator accused Watkins of being "strung out on crack" for the years Braun was in office.

The comment is raising eyebrows as early voting in the election starts Monday.

"Patricia, the reason you didn't know where I was the last 20 years is because you were strung out on crack," Braun said from the altar of Trinity United Church of Christ at 95th and Egglesworth.

Oddly, it was held at the Trinity United Church of Christ...

Oddly???

Isn't Trinity the church where Reverend Wright prayed for God to damn America?

The woman Braun calls a crack addict is only polling 2% and hasn't been allowed at any of the main debates. What was the purpose...?? sigh

I'm hoping there is a run off, but now. geez.

If Carol Mosley Braun represented me, I’d most certainly be on crack.
