Chenk a democratic party shill?
Apparently you have never seen TYT.
Voluntarily left a lucrative job at MSCNBC to not be one.
THey have been on obama's ass from day one, they have ripped the asshole of the democratic party time and time again.
THey have highlighted the corruption that is rampant in Washington and how both parties are bought and paid for time and time again (not news I know).
They have criticized the left time and time again for hiding their heads in the sand when it comes Obama.
They criticize Obama for the puppet he is and not some fox news, mainstream media criticism.T
Hey ahve been highly critical towards the mainstream media from the very beginning.

You are talking out of your fucking ass DJeter.
Just like always I guess.
Trying to be Howard Stern?

The Introverted Intuition TypeIntroverted intuition is directed inward to the contents of the unconscious. It attempts to fathom internal events by relating them to universal psychological processes or to other archetypal images. Consequently it generally has a mythical, symbolic or prophetic quality.
According to Jung, the introverted intuition type can be either an artist, seer or crank. Such a person has a visionary ideal that reveals strange, mysterious things. These are enigmatic, 'unearthly' people who stand aloof from ordinary society. They have little interest in explaining or rationalizing their personal vision, but are content merely to proclaim it. Partly as a result of this, they are often misunderstood. Although the vision of the artist among this type generally remains on the purely perceptual level, mystical dreamers or cranks may become caught up in theirs. The person's life then becomes symbolic, taking on the nature of a Great Work, mission or spiritual-moral quest. If neurotic, repressed sensation may express itself in primitive, instinctual ways and, like their extraverted counterparts, introverted intuitives often suffer from hypochondria and compulsions.

The Extraverted Feeling TypeExtraverted feeling is based upon accepted or traditional social values and opinions. It involves a conforming, adjusting response to objective circumstances that strives for harmonious relations with the world. Because it depends so much on external stimuli rather than upon true subjective preferences, such feeling can sometimes seem cold, 'unfeeling', artificial or put on for effect.
The extraverted feeling type follows fashion and seeks to harmonize personal feelings with general social values. Thinking is always subordinate to feeling and is ignored or repressed if intellectual conclusions fail to confirm the convictions of the heart. When this type is extreme or neurotic, feeling may become gushing or extravagant and dependent upon momentary enthusiasms that may quickly turn about with changing circumstances. Such a person may therefore seem hysterical, fickle, moody or even to be suffering from multiple personality. Repressed thinking may also erupt in infantile, negative, obsessive ways. This can lead to the attribution of dreaded characteristics to the very objects or people that are most loved and valued.

The Introverted Feeling TypeIntroverted feeling strives for an inner intensity that is unrelated to any external object. It devalues objective reality and is rarely displayed openly. When it does appear on the surface, it generally seems negative or indifferent. The focus of such feeling is upon inner processes and latent, primordial images. At its extreme, it may develop into mystical ecstasy.
The introverted feeling type is brooding and inaccessible, although may also hide behind a childish mask. Such a person aims to be inconspicuous, makes little attempt to impress and generally fails to respond to the feelings of others. The outer, surface appearance is often neutral, cold and dismissive. Inwardly, however, feelings are deep, passionately intense, and may accompany secret religious or poetic tendencies. The effect of all this on other people can be stifling and oppressive. When extreme or neurotic, this type may become domineering and vain. Negative repressed thinking may also be projected so that these persons may imagine they can know what others are thinking. This may develop into paranoia and into secret scheming rivalries.

The Extraverted Intuition TypeExtraverted intuition attempts to envisage all the possibilities that are inherent in an objective situation. Ordinary events are seen as providing a cipher or set of clues from which underlying processes and hidden potentialities can be determined. Yet once these possibilities are apprehended, objects and events lose their meaning and import. There is therefore a constant need for new situations and experiences to provide a fresh stimulus for the intuitive process.
The extraverted intuition type is an excellent diagnostician and exploiter of situations. Such people see exciting possibilities in every new venture and are excellent at perceiving latent abilities in other people. They get carried away with the enthusiasm of their vision and often inspire others with the courage of their conviction. As such, they do well in occupations where these qualities are at a premium - for example in initiating new projects, in business, politics or the stock market. They are, however, easily bored and stifled by unchanging conditions. As a result they often waste their life and talents jumping from one activity to another in the search for fresh possibilities, failing to stick at any one project long enough to bring it to fruition. Furthermore, in their commitment to their own vision, they often show little regard for the needs, views or convictions of others. When neurotic, repressed sensation may cause this type to become compulsively tied to people, objects or activities that stir in them primitive sensations such as pleasure, pain or fear. The consequence of this can be phobias, hypochondriacal beliefs and a range of other compulsions.

I think Chomsky is INFJ but has a lot of Ti, whenever it comes to foundations of domestic policy or international affairs he usually says there is no deeper theory: "if there is a body of theory...that applies to the conduct of foreign affairs or the resolution of domestic or international conflict, its existence has been kept a well-guarded secret."

Isn't Fe a warm, congenial function though? Noam's pretty cold and humorless; couldn't see him baking cookies for anyone. His idealism seems like inferior Fe; the highly politicized INTPs I know come off similarly. And his linguistics background... The hours upon hours of theorizing about the structure of language = Ti to the max, and likely Ne.

And yeah, I definitely think Cornel West is an ENFP. He's too wacky to be anything else.

Also I did make a thread about this previously but my guesses were:

Peter Kropotkin - INFJ

Somewhat reclusive, very Fe-oriented both in his theories and in personal life. Often vowed for a logical (Ti) approach to convey his ideas.

Mikhail Bakunin - INTJ

Fire-breathing "fanatic" of liberty (Ni) although he disparaged the poor and oppressed for being religious (Fi). Politically was against Marx.
......

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon - INFP (possibly ENFP)

Often felt the state to be a personal violation (Fi) and disliked creating systems. In his writing often brainstormed many examples (Ne).
