Larry Wilmore: Who Loves U.S. More, Obama Or ‘Colossal Prick’ Giuliani? (VIDEO)

“The Nightly Show” host Larry Wilmore refused to mince words over former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s (R) accusation that President Obama doesn’t “love” America, calling Giuliani’s comments “racist” and the ex-mayor a “colossal prick.”

Wilmore tried desperately to find out what it was about Obama’s upbringing that made him hate America, but couldn’t come up with much after learning he was raised by a World War II veteran and wartime assembly line worker.

“So what else is different about Obama?” Wilmore said, showing a photo of the future first black President between his two white grandparents.

“Man I just — I’m really trying my best not to use the race card” he said, struggling. “Getting difficult.”

“No, you know what, fuck that shit, that’s racist,” he said, giving up.

Wilmore added that Giuliani’s invocation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks was bad form.

“Most of the world came together after that happened,” Wilmore said. “In fact, it was such a powerful, intoxicating event that, for a brief shining moment, the entire world forgot what a colossal prick you are!”

  1. Can’t we call him a colossal hole in the ground? I really like big dicks. OTOH, if it truly is colossal then there’s not much you can do with it – so as long as you preface with “colossal,” I guess that’s okay.

  2. [Jeopardy] “I’ll take Colossal Pricks for 9/11…”

    Rudy Giuliani:
    Still believes he is King of New York … and harbors desires of annexing the remainder of the world -
    Primary Affliction: Megalomania -
    Which is a psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of power, relevance, omnipotence, and by inflated self-esteem. Historically it was used as a name for narcissistic personality disorder. Paradoxically, a person who exhibits such tremendous ego and self-confidence in reality has such low self-esteem and such a fragile ego that he cannot abide any expression other than his own, for fear of annihilation of the self. Therefore everything that is not under his control is perceived as a threat.

    Which American president - armed with the draft - ever hesitated to draft an Afrina-American? What American president, if, for some reason,we brought back the draft, would hesitate to draft African-Americans In the future?

    The reason I bring that up is that during WWI, when all of Ireland legally wa still part of the UK, the British ended up drafting 35-year-olds with kids in England, Scotland and Wales but didn’t draft 18-year-old Irish bachelors because thry couldn’t trust them with the guns.

  5. I really wish that Larry would have told the Conservative on the panel to shut up because, honestly, she had no actual argument to make. She kept trying to bring up false equivalencies and the same stupid talking points as always, but quite frankly, she had nothing to add to the conversation.
