I was going to argue that it makes sense to limit ads to classy advertisements as to not dilute their brand. But then I remembered the ads I normally see and laughed at that point.
I guess the same lack of class shown by every print media in existance. And all the broadcast ones too. They are all platforms for their owners' views. Why should FB be different? Why is it less classy when they behave like everyone else? Point to one 'classy' media outlet.
If Google Adwords allowed images, I doubt they'd let advertisers use 960px-tall face shots of Larry and Sergey to promote their political angle. It's just not classy advertising, in addition to being confusing to users.

New York Times, NPR even Fox News, will host dissenting opinions. And pretty much every media outlet will allow their competitors to run advertising.
And 'host dissenting opinions' is funny. As long as they can make them appear silly or wrong, sure.
FTFY. They'd do it even if Candy Crush used his photo. This is not newsworthy.
