Three weeks ago he was running pro-amnesty ads and I didn’t hear much if anything from conservatives about it, the second he runs anti-Obamacare and pro-Keystone XL pipeline ads the intolerant left goes nuts demanding he only run ads they approve of.

Less than three weeks after Mark Zuckerberg officially launched his pro-immigration reform group, the billionaire technology mogul seems to be experiencing the Facebook equivalent of a liberal de-friending.
Progressive activists have been voicing their disapproval after two Zuckerberg-backed groups unveiled television ads last week that praise lawmakers for opposing Obamacare and supporting an expansion of the Keystone oil pipeline and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The ads are meant to provide political cover for senators to cast politically risky votes in favor of immigration reform.
One of the ads, airing on behalf of Sen. Lindsey Graham, a member of the Senate’s bi-partisan “Gang of Eight,” features clips of the South Carolina Republican repeatedly disparaging President Obama. Another ad touts Alaska Democratic Sen. Mark Begich’s work to open ANWR to drilling.
Those television commercials led the Sierra Club to post a message to the environmental group’s Facebook page on Monday urging Zuckerberg to “re-think his priorities.”
“Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg is bankrolling political ads that push dangerous, dirty projects like the Keystone XL pipeline and drilling in America’s pristine Arctic Refuge,” says the message accompanying a thumbs-down graphic dripping with oil.
