A piece of writing that is so partisan, so indifferent to ordinary standards of truth, that it isn't even propaganda. It's not attempting to convince other people, or even to strengthen and bolster the faithful. It only exists to excite the believer, in the crudest possible way; it plays to arguments so shallow they can only occur in the privacy of one's own head without mortifying embarrassment. In other words, the intellectual version of pornography.
The article on Benghazi is so full of intellectual pornography that everyone at Fox News is going to braingasm when they read it.

no longer engage to debate issues in good faith, but instead seek to lie, distort, name-call, target, & destroy people/communities with any means possible

Intellectual porn is a song audio video or image that is so stimulating and addictive to the mind that it can be considered a form of mind porn. Examples include documentaries, conspiracy theory shows, alternative news station, humour websites and the like. Example A in conversation: hey did you see that new JFK conspiracy theory documentary? It makes me view it in a whole new light. Friend: lay off the intellectual porn already . 2nd definition: just like actual porn, it can be so addicting that it makes people lose track of time and forget of other tasks they need to do like sleep and go to school or work
Friend A: hey man did you see that new 9/11 documentary? I had no idea that there was a third building that went down that day. What was in it? Friend B: dude, you got an essay due tomorrow. Lay off the intellectual porn and get your school work done.

when an smart witted individual becomes so overwhelmed by the fact that the majority of society are extremely naive and inane that they keel over and anguish in despair.
I consider myself to be an intellectually depressed individual.

Straining your thinking processes repeatedly until you hopefully find resolution in the form of an intellectual orgasm.
Wacking off theory after theory until you come to a head with a solution.
I've been working on this problem continually for some time, and my intellectual masturbation has finally led to resolution.
Jane: Did you get your homework finished?
Dick: I spent last night engaged in intellectual masturbation til I finally was satisfied. It really drained me.

n. A person, usually male, that believes that they are intellectually gifted, making them superior to their perceived competition inherently. What makes them so unique (and unpleasant...) is their outspoken manner of self-righteousness. Most examples, to give the reader an application of the term, respond to outrage headlines with utmost skepticism, and will bother the poster for facts to prove to the faux-intellectual that it isn't actually fake. Faux-intellectuals almost always behave as if they are above impassioned impulse reactions - when, in reality, such reactions are normal. Ironically, as an aside, most faux-intellectuals respond rather defensively and abrasively to being called out.
"Terry spent a good four hours last night picking apart the new GoT season and talking down anybody that interjected."
"He's a faux-intellectual. He needs to admire the sound of his own voice at least six times a day, else he's liable to combust."

Opposite if "intellectually dishonest"; an unemotional, logical, and "honest" expression of the truth without the omission of any suporting facts. Yet another buzz word that is itself an example of what it tries to define usually used by rightwingers.
The buzz word or catch phrase "intellectually honest" is itself intelelctually dishonest. This is because you are either being honest or your not; there's no "intellect" involved.
