It seems that the pro-amnesty left has suddenly opened their eyes, and realized who they were in bed with. Poor Zuckerberg thought that corporatist neo-conservatives and the left could come together on this issue. Of course the left hopes to get more Democrat voters, Union members and socialists via new immigrants, but if Zuckerberg pushes neo-conservative and corporatist candidates (like Lindsey Graham), it is counter to their goals. Looks like it is getting a little hard for some on the left to swallow. They'll take as much money in support of amnesty that Zuckerberg can throw at them, but they will never support a Republican.

This should be a lesson to the #SquishCaucus in the GOP who think that being pro-amnesty will help them. It won't, as this example clearly illustrates. No matter how much Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Jeff Flake and Marco Rubio squish, the Democrats will never back them.

It has been only a month since Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s co-founder and chief executive, pulled together an impressive roster of tech executives to advocate for immigration reform through FWD.us, a nonprofit lobbying organization.

But the group is already losing some of its star power.

Some environmental groups are complaining that FWD.us has funded television ads supporting politicians who back construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline and proposals to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The ads do not mention immigration reform but support politicians who may be able to help ease immigration proposals through the Senate.

Tesla and PayPal co-founder Elon Musk and Yammer chief executive David Sacks withdrew support from the group Friday.
...
Several left-leaning groups, including MoveOn.org and the Sierra Club, said last week they would no longer display ads on Facebook. Wireless carrier Credo Mobile, which advocates on liberal issues, has gone further, launching a petition Monday calling for Yahoo chief executive Marissa Mayer and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman to follow Musk and Sacks and distance themselves from the group.

No matter how much Ron Paul wanted to end prohibition, end wars, yadda, yadda, yadda; most democrats never supported him.

The irony is that Democrat rhetoric is anti-corporatist, yet the Democrat establishment and most Dem polticians are very pro-corporatist. More cognitive dissonance. For the ignorant masses of Democrats, to actually accept that they have been useful idiots for the corporatists would make their heads explode.

John Stewart was really having a problem continuing his delusion of an all-benevolent and competent government last night, in light of a lot of new revelations. Even as did the segment though, he concluded by writing these incidents off as anomalies. He still believes! Obamacare will work, damn it!

They're necessarily corporatist because not fully communist but they're anti-free market. So they have to be for crony-capitalism, what else is left?
