« Open Thread | Main | MSM Moonbats Declare Obama to Be God »

well you did read didn't you where the head moonabat of the UK renamed Omaha beach to be Obama beach?

click me

That idiot just desecrated hallowed ground. Our brave soldiers fought and died there so they liberate Europe from the Obama of the times.

Bing.com has a very moving image and information today. Well-played.

Just remember that Google had the wherewithal to change their template when the fossil "Ida" was released just a couple of weeks ago: http://theblogprof.blogspot.com/2009/06/liberal-bias-when-fossil-was-released.html

Had no idea that this was tetris day. I blew a lot of time on Tetris when I was younger. It was a good play on the original Nintendo in the 80's...

In the bitter Irony that is Communism, Tetris' creator, Alexey Pajitnov, never received a single cent(in Russia, anyway) for his invention. Instead, the Russian government made millions of royalties. Alexey finally moved to the US, and recaptured the rights to his game. He now runs his own company. Oh well, at least there's a silver lining somewhere.

Yep, Bing has a beautiful D-Day tribute.
I've found my new search engine.

To hell with the commies at Google.

Wow - Nice one JCeburn!

& don't ya mean "Obama" Beach? (hey he said it, not me)

In Brown's remarks, he referred to "Obama Beach," then corrected himself to "Omaha Beach" a few words later, after a stir in the crowd.

What's more relevant to computer geeks, a computer game or an event in military history?

On the wiki page scroll down past the on this day section, what's next? Picture of the day, a historical map of military positions in Normandy on June 6, 1944

There are few dates in American history that I know as well as 6/6/44. I wrote a check the other day and put "6/3" and I thought to myself, oh -- D-Day is right around the corner. So on that note, I'm shocked by both of those images.

Also, you folks have probably already seen this line before, but I think it's great, and D-Day appropriate:

British citizens on GI's in England: "overfed, overpaid, oversexed, and over here!"

GI's on the British citizens: "underpaid, undersexed, and under Eisenhower!"

Well, wha-da-ya know, The One did indeed find time in his whirlwind tour to go the beaches of Normandy. Obama Beach? Pardon me, mister prime minister, but the slip of your tounge is showing! Not only did he say "Obama Beach" very clearly, he almost said it a second time.

I think I'll go watch "The Longest Day" It's a long movie checking in at about three hours, but well worth every minute.

Watch a real President, a real American and veteran speak of D-Day.

Normandy June 6, 1984: President Reagan Speaks at D-Day Anniversary Ceremony

This all makes sense. Google is owned and operated by the CIA, itself under new management.

One, I'm amazed that you've never heard of one of the most ubiquitous pieces of software ever released. It's like saying you've never heard of this "Windows" rigamarole.

Two, the part of Wikipedia you captured is a random selection of all of the events which happened on the day, which is why "June 6" is a hyperlink. D-Day is listed on the full page.

No wonder conservatism is on life support - you spend all your time getting pissy over everything in the world not immediately kowtowing to your personal sense of moral righteousness. One might call it "political correctness", but I'm sure that would also get you ranting for another three days.

Would it make you feel better if Google made their logo out of dead Allied soldiers strewn across the beach?

The US Government doesn't even recognize D-DAY as a national, federal holiday. Don't go blaming Obama, it never was recognized as a holiday under any administration, not even your beloved Bush.

Furthermore, I absolutely love how you posted a picture of "On this day..." from Wikipedia, but completely neglect the "Today's Featured Picture" where D-Day gets it's very own boxed blurb instead of sharing it with random facts like "The first drive in movie theater."

Very nice article. It's no wonder I never heard of you or this site. I happened to stumble across it on Twitter. You'll make an excellent journalist someday. Oh wait, no you wouldn't.

Mr. Taylor your "ubiquitous" piece of software does not even deserve a mention when compared to D-Day. I suggest you go F*** yourself and read a little history. What a twit!

I don't usually waste time refuting moonbat trolls, but if you go to Wikipedia's main page, you'll see that "Today's featured picture" is described as a "detail of a Portuguese crochet tablecloth." Apparently they had a D-Day situation map up earlier, but then discovered the infinitely more interesting tablecloth.

Ahh, the right wingers are at it again.

Wikipedia runs on loops of random information. It is, after all, an online encyclopedia, not the online source of right wing propaganda.

Why do you conservatives even use the internet? It's a place that allows things like freedom of speech, and free thinking, and where people are less likely to become drones of some political party who prides themselves on ideals from the 1800's.

KJ, how do you do it, talk with your mouth full of Keith Olbermanns dick! You must be one hell of a ventriloquist!

D-Day, what a waste.

Now the Govt. is proudly allowing the USA to be invaded by Mexico.

KJ with the typical progressive "why don't you evolve" mindset.

Thanks KJ, I checked and Wikipedia has randomly replaced a reference to the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon with this:

"1981 – The Israeli Air Force attacked and disabled the Osirak nuclear reactor, assuming it was producing plutonium to further an Iraqi nuclear weapons program."

Still no mention of D-Day, but it's all "random". And commemorating unquestionably positive events from US foreign policy history is just right wing propaganda anyway.

To moonbats defending Google and Wikipedia, consider this: what would be your reaction to these two worthies if on MLK's birthday they listed "opening of the first condom factory" but didn't bother to mention MLK? No problem?

Shalom! ". . .we're not going to let that happen".

Kol HaKavod!! All that is needed for moonbattery to triumph is for enough thinking/working people to stand by and say nothing! It is truly sad to think that there are those so callous, so self-involved, that they cannot set aside any room in their hearts for gratitude or awe... but these hapless miscreants must not be permitted to set the tone.

and yah, no one should defend Wikipedia, regardless of their political affiliation; no topic around which any controversy whatsoever exists has a usable or truthful article associated with it, more's the pity.

Kol Tuv!

Wikipedia runs on UTC so D-day anniversary finished some time ago. For the duration of the anniversary this was featured on the main page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:POTD/2009-06-06

Bullshit. It seems as though The Greatest Generation, who makes my generation look like a bunch of spineless amoeba, has been snubbed by the moonbats who run Google. Tetris, a fuckin' VIDEO GAME, is more important for the 10,000 brave men who stormed the Omaha, Utah, and other points at Normandy and gave the ultimate sacrifice for.

I'm tempted to completely boycott Google, but unfortunatley.. I run my site through Blogger, which is owned by the techy Marxists.

65 Years ago our brave men for both america and britian risked their lives to free the erurpean cotinent and google pays honor to a dumb game thats gratatude

In honor of D-Day, I exercised my 2nd Amendment rights and spent a little time at the range. Two hours of shooting resulted in about four hours of gun cleaning (we took the "sampler platter" of firepower), which doesn't seem right, but I'm grateful for the soldiers who sacrificed so much to preserve our freedoms and way of life.

Surely Tetris is more relevant to modern technology such as Google than a military event? Should Google change their logo to a mass of guns & blood every time war is celebrated?

I've never even heard of D-Day as one specific event. I thought D-Day was just a term for "the big day", an important event coming up, something like that. But then, I'm not American or British.

Bec you must be going to one of thesee universities of intellectioial knownothings completly ignorant on the truth you realy need to quit those places

I am just wondering how many of you chicken hawks would have been there on the Omaha beach, taking wave after wave of bullets to capture a hilltop? Hint: none.

It is also interesting to observe how the mind of the radical right morphs into neurosis of hysteria, concocting bizarre connection between entirely unrelated topics, i.e. D-Day (ironically labeled as yet another "conservative" triumphant day) vs. Tetris (Communist/Marxist favorite electronic game). What do you guys smoke? Can I have a puff?

If it werent for the Vets that walked into the hail of gunfire knowing their munutes were limited we'd be unborn or slaves to one of the harshest tyrants imaginable. Remembering that next inline for the 1000 year reich was Himmler. Thanking those men on your knees isnt enough.
Go into the nearest VFW or American Legion, put a 20 on the bar and tell the bartender you'd like to buy a drink for the men of D-Day. There will be a few in there.
I'm shure they can hose off the area where the pretender in chief stood. Kinda like the mourner in chief, when he arranged the rocks on Omaha. Only thing is its all sand and some poor body guard had to schlep rocks for that touching moment.
Tetris???!!!! who cares

Youve never head of Tetris? Are you 5?

It was E3 week, big week for video games. So, naturally, a major anniversary (25th) of a landmark video game (you've seriously never heard of Tetris?!) would get a Google image. A meaningless, something whipped up in an artists spare time, 1 day only, banner image on a website. What would putting up a D-Day image accomplish? Nothing. What did putting up a Tetris image accomplish? Nothing. Except to piss off people who get enraged over meaningless drivel.

Reagan's on the 40th anniversary of D-Day was a work of art. I don't remember hearing it when it happened, but it was a pleasure watching it. I loved the way he brought to life what the invasion was like with his descriptions of the military scaling the cliffs, all the while knowing that enemy guns were trained on them. I also loved the part about using force to liberate rather than dominate. And to think, he did it all with notecards, NO TELEPROMPTER.

And on top of that Judith M. you didn't hear any "uhhh's" or stammering for words.

Bec how old are you? June 6 1944 was the most important day of the twentieth century. If this mission were to have failed you would probably be speaking German and eating wienersnitchel. Even though I wasn't born until 20 years later I would always listen to my grandfathers stories about him and his buddies storming the beaches of Normandy. Your mouth would drop if you heard some of the things that he described. Read some important today and at the end of the day ask yourself what you have learned.

Judith M June 6 1944? not compared to 19 November 1942. ~1 million died in that battle but at the end of it the Wehrmacht had lost much of it's initiative. Then at Kursk in July 1943 it suffered a defeat it never came close to recovering from. Before those the Battle of Moscow. If those battles had gone the other way the Normandy landings would likely have been an impossible proposition

Very good observation hmm. The Soviets really took on the chin at the beginning of the war. It wasn't until Stalin started listening to his generals, mainly Georgi Zhukov, that the tide began to turn. The battle of Kursk was the largest tank battle in modern war history until the 1991 Gulf war when Storman Norman did his hail mary maneuver. That was Brilliant.

i have only one question for everyone here, Did any one of you actually go and thank a surviving D-Day veteran yesterday? There is a verry big diffrence to from celerbrating a battle(which i find to be disprectful)and humbley observing a memorial event in which 10000 brave soldiers(and not all of them were americans, our british and canadian allies also lost there share of young men)gave they're lives sixty five years ago. there is nothing worse than people who politicise historic events,whatever there poltical affiliation is, for there own needs. and a sidenote to garycat, while ronald reagan was enlisted, he never served overseas, and spent his war years making traning films, so while he was a veteran, he was never in combat, you should not mislead people. i found our current president's speech to be both respectful and powerful, but that is my opnion, and its protected by the 1st amendment, as is everyones elses

Check what Bing did instead: www.bing.com (you need to click on the bottom right and go to yesterday's page image)

Did you spike? I had the opportunity to shake hands with 7 combat vets and meet their family. They came to eat in my BBQ restaurant yesterday. party of 25. I didn't ask them which war they were in but there were certainly some old enough to be in WWII and the other possibly Korea. i bought each who wanted one a beer and there appetizers. They had a great time in My restaurant and I was proud to have them here. Now what did you do on June 6 2009?

It was E3 week, big week for video games. So, naturally, a major anniversary (25th) of a landmark video game (you've seriously never heard of Tetris?!) would get a Google image

Video games? Video games?? That’s approaching “pathetic” from below. Something more inconsequential would be difficult to imagine. What next – you’re going to celebrate the invention of the Graham cracker, or the sippy cup?

You’re going to make a fine adult. Eventually.

Anonymous above calls D-Day "meaningless drivel." Words fail me at the ignorance. To have no appreciation for men sacrificing their very lives for something bigger than themselves, for the very idea of liberty for others, is the height of the left's utter self-centeredness. Disgrace.

I am just wondering how many of you chicken hawks would have been there on the Omaha beach, taking wave after wave of bullets to capture a hilltop? Hint: none.

Is Obama a “chicken hawk?” He’s still prosecuting the war, and the bravest thing he ever did in his life was disagree with Michelle.

Karin nails it, as usual. Punk.

Boy it sure is easy to spot those young wet behind the ears trolls. Anon, bec, and Ellish you guys are as dumb as a bag of rocks. Now get of the computer before we tell your liberals ass mommies. It's time out for you three clowns.

To ELLISH:

You forgot to mention how the "brave" USSR "liberated" Finland from THE FINNS!

http://www.answers.com/topic/finnish-russian-war

As someone who has gladly out his ass on the line in Afghanistan and Iraq both, I say to all you trolls you wouldn't last 5 minutes in basic training let alone 5 days in the mountains of Afghanistan or the deserts of Iraq.

All of your liberal, leftist simpering and appeasement would mean nothing to the scores of men, women and children ...yes children... in the Middle East who would just as soon cut your throat as look at you.

There are good people there, it is true, but sadly they are the oppressed minority in their religion and their culture.

It amazes me to temerity of the liberal trolls who frequent this site who would wish for that to continue (the oppression of Middle Eastern peoples and the threats to the West) i.e. by ending the Global War on Terror.

To Spiketwo89: Where in my post did I mention Ronald Reagan? Answer: Nowhere. How did I mislead people by mentioning I was going to watch the movie "The Longest Day?" I did watch it by the way. While the movie has many actors in it, Ronald Reagan was not one of them. Apparently, the only person I misled was you. So, what does Ronald Regan have to do with my post? Besides nothing? Other people mention him, SK and Judith M, but not me. Geez. The reason Ronald Reagan did not see active, battle duty was because of his poor eyesight--nearsightedness, to be specific. If you don't believe me, do some research. That's how I found out why he did not serve active duty. He did, however, serve in the armed forces. He served in the motion pictures unit. Billy Boy Bubba didn't serve and neither did Obama. Typical Liberal. One non-sequitur after another. Sorry (not really) to confuse you with facts and logic. I know how much that pisses off liberals. A couple of more things--learn to capitalize proper names--American, British and Canadian are all proper names and need capital letters at the beginning. Those are the "big" letters that happen when you press the "shift" key and type a letter at the same time. You need to work on your punctuation and spelling as well. Oh, and one more thing, the name is "Graycat" not "Garycat" As in Gray and cat put altogether equals Graycat.

Not only is JUNE 6th D-DAY buts its also the day in 1942 when america won in the BATTLE OF MIDWAY SINKING FOUR JAPANESE CARRIERS

I am just wondering how many of you chicken hawks would have been there on the Omaha beach, taking wave after wave of bullets to capture a hilltop? Hint: none.

Lol. The 'chickenhawk' meme can now be extended into the theoretical realm to cast aspersions on what a moonbat thinks conservatives would(n't) have done if we'd been of service age during WW2?

Shark, consider yourself jumped.

Anyhoo, if Ellish would like to compare political philosophies with surviving WW2 vets, s/he would find a far greater correlation with current conservative ideals than with current liberal ideals.

So not only is your meme idiotic and irrelevant, it's inaccurate.

It is also interesting to observe how the mind of the radical right morphs into neurosis of hysteria, concocting bizarre connection between entirely unrelated topics, i.e. D-Day (ironically labeled as yet another "conservative" triumphant day) vs. Tetris (Communist/Marxist favorite electronic game). What do you guys smoke? Can I have a puff?

Posted by: Ellish at June 7, 2009 7:33 AM

So, Google's logo on D-Day is based on the game Tetris - and it's 'the right' who are 'concocting' the connection?

Forget what we're smoking, can we try some of your stash?
