Obamacare Slammed in Ads From Zuckerberg's New Group

The group is also pushing for investment in fossil fuels

FWD.us, the political action group founded by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and other Silicon Valley big shots, says its purpose is to promote comprehensive immigration reform. But some of their recent ads talk more about the dangers of Obamacare and the virtues of Big Oil.

That doesn't sound very much like the Zuckerberg of old, ThinkProgress says. In fact, Zuckerberg wrote in an op-ed in The Washington Post, that "The economy of the last century was primarily based on natural resources … Today's economy is very different. It is based primarily on knowledge and ideas."
