A rare dip into the political, but this quiz is very eye opening. The recent remarks by an infamous political pundit were clearly remarks to stir up controversy and sell more books. Even bad publicity is publicity isn’t it?

Not paying attention to much of the cacaphony of the talking heads it is surprising to see how difficult it was to separate comments made by one of the most evil men of all time with a political pundit making the rounds.

Is the two party system causing folks on either end to go to such extremes? It does not matter so much what the issues are as much as someone trying to win the quick two minute debate on Fox News or Hardball. In the effort to get viewership or sell books the pundits have to go to extremes to titilate and get reactions.

One of the definitions of pornography is the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction

So is this genuine political discourse or are we simply looking at politoporn?

As with looking at porn one will grow tired of the soft stuff. Sure, it was exciting once, but now you need more action, we need to move to the harcore stuff. Just take a look at the hardcore politporn that all of this punditry has produced. We get conspiracy theory of all colors coming fom the left, while the right moves to outright fascism. What the hell happened to America where we have a hard time decifering what a political pundit says vs what Hilter said 50 years ago?

Anyway, take the quiz.
