A euphemistic expression for the mentally ill who are obsessed with the views, actions and figures of one political party or political system.
The emotional attachment is so great that said person suffers from an inability to rationalize opposing viewpoints, vote for opposing candidates, etc. Further, he/she is delusional in the belief that their hyper-attention to politics is somehow healthy for them, their friends, or discourse in general.
Modeled after 'mentally challenged' and other 'challenged' as an alternative for a disability.

American cable news is so infested with nutjobs, that those networks ought to be reclassified as pornography for the politically challenged (and then scrambled for the rest of us).

The transformation of the media from journalism to sensationalism as the news has gone from a service to a business...
The cable news networks at one time has some sort of sense of journalistic integrity... now they're just Political Paparazzi trying to play King Maker...

Anti-political thought and action (or antipolitics) views the social world as separate from and in polar opposition to the political world. For the anti-political activist, one’s moral conduct takes precedence over any alignment with established political channels, often with an emphasis on individual liberty in the face of perceived "authoritarian" political arrangements. The social world is viewed as natural, the political world as artificial and oppressive. One example would be Occupy Wall Street, where putting forward political demands was given low priority in favor of creating a communal "festival of resistance."
The term dates to the 19th century. The anarchist Mikhail Bakunin argued for "social (and therefore anti-political) organization." Other figures who could be considered anti-political include Mahatma Gandhi and Vaclav Havel.

The strongly anti-political demonstrators jeered and would not allow a sympathetic congressman to speak.

I have noticed that there may be some wiener politics in place with Urban Dictionary staff who make decisions about which words and phrases to publish.
