A pro-Clinton blog, HillBlog, provides the most detailed description of the infamous videotape where Michelle Obama, wife of the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, goes off on a racist rant against "whitey." Ironically, her outburst is reported to have happened at a conference in Chicago at Trinity Church of Christ which President Bill Clinton had earlier attended. His presence at the conference is cited as one of the reasons for her racist outburst. Who knew Bill Clinton was to blame for the death of so many Africans? At one time, you could purchase this videotape on the church's website. The photo above, courtesy of Larry Johnson's No Quarter blog, was taken at the conference. This is how the blog describes the videotape, which you can bet will be used by the Republicans this fall:

The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th - July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women's Event.

Michelle Obama appeared as a panelist alongside Mrs. Khadijah Farrakhan and Mrs. James Meeks. Bill Clinton spoke during the Conference, as did Bill Cosby and other speakers, but not at the panel Michelle attended. Michelle Obama spoke at the Women's Event, but referenced Bill Clinton in her rant --- his presence at the conference was the impetus for her raving, it seems.

For about 30 minutes, Michelle Obama launched into a rant about the evils of America, and how America is to blame for the problems of Africa. Michelle personally blamed President Clinton for the deaths of millions of Africans and said America is responsible for the genocide of the Tutsis and other ethnic groups. She then launched into an attack on "whitey", and talked about solutions to black on black crime in the realm of diverting those actions onto white America. Her rant was fueled by the crowd: they reacted strongly to what she said, so she got more passionate and enraged, and that's when she completely loses it and says things that have made the mouths drop of everyone who's seen this.

The "tape" is a DVD that Trinity United sold on its website, and possibly offered free for download up until March 2008 when Trinity's site was scrubbed and the DVDs were no longer offered for sale.

This outburst happened just one month before the 2004 Democratic Convention, when Barack Obama delivered the keynote address.

Frightening creature this is. What a great job of horror captured here. I like the coloring and splatter effect on this.

FOOD FIGHT!!! :P

I guess the reason that I'm not a vegetarian is because I was raised eating meat. I have acquired a taste for meat,,,,and after being this way all of my life...it's hard to just stop eating meat, and learn a whole new way of eating. When you go shopping in a grocery store,,,,you don't see any live animals....you just see slabs of meat, or ground beef, or pieces of chicken. So you don't really think about it....you just buy the packaged meat or produce, and go home and cook it up and eat it. That's why it's so hard to become a vegetarian. But I hope that sonmeday I'll be able to do that. My brother did it.....he's a vegetarian.....and he doesn't miss eating meat at all. Soooo...if he can do it......so can I!! "LOL"!! :)

I really love the direction your art's been taking. Great piece; Picasso-esque, but still very Klox.

I have no opinion on vegetarianism..eat what you want...
Klox: one of two things happens to me when i see something new from you, be it abstract or realism, bloody gory or even stylish...
1. It inspires me to try and be better...or
2. It makes me feel like I can never be so good so I might as well just stop now while I'm ahead..
more often than not though it's the first one..anyway this one is no exception...you are so versatile..anyway..keep up the good work and keep em' comin..I love to see what comes next...
