Mashup of Finkelstein-Dershowitz debate and Bruce Lee film
An old televised debate gets new life from even older footage from a Bruce Lee. Combines my twin loves of Kung-fu movies and a good ol’e smack down of a rabid right-wingnut.

Both The following clips, remixed by a Finkelstein fan, can be found at Norman Finkelstein’s own fun and informative website.

Geek note: So I created this post to try out the Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin. I don’t mind it, but am looking for a plugin that renders video from YouTube, Google, iFilm, The Onion and so forth in the post editing panal so as to allow text-wrapping, alignment, etc. and doesn’t conflict with WordPress 2.3. Still, if you’re looking for a simple embedding tool, this one could work. Get more on it here.
