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.
