The Watchdogs: Moseley Braun's financial angel
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 12/13/10 | Chris Fusco

When Carol Moseley Braun needed money for her new business, the onetime U.S. senator and ambassador — now one of the big names in the race for Chicago mayor — turned to a former campaign contributor for help.

Joseph Stroud, a millionaire TV station owner from Oak Brook, came through in August 2006 with a $250,000 loan for her company, Ambassador Organics, a line of coffees, teas and spices.

That was about nine months after Stroud — the owner of WJYS-Channel 62, a station that fills its airtime with paid religious programming, health shows and infomercials — was found liable of harassing a former employee in a racially charged court case that the U.S. Supreme Court upheld last month.

I'd love to see Chicago saddled with mayor Carol.

The government they deserve.

If Chicago really wants to commit suicide, they will elect her. I wouldn't be surprised if this buffoon wins. Maybe Chicago wants to be Detroit.

Comparing Illinois senators, Carol makes President Obama look like Henry Clay and Daniel Webster by comparison.

I remember Carol Braun’s crying and “poor mistreated me” while she was on the senate floor referencing the Daughters of the Confederacy. Her actions were despicable and showboating at its best. I hope she burns in Hades.

In Illinois, she is known as “Carol Mostly Fraud.”

“Carol Mostly Fraud” is a quite piece of work.

Can you imagine entering the voting booth and discovering that your choices are Rahm Emanuel and Carol Moseley Braun.

Time to shoot one's self.

CMBraun also has an interesting record of supporting Communist Party USA fronts, esp. the KGB-created World Peace Council and its U.S./CPUSA-created affiliate, the “US Peace Council”.

ComMieBraun would be a better name.

She’s twice the woman she was as a senator, literally.
