Sixty-three percent (63%) of U.S. voters say political correctness prevented the military from responding to warning signs from Major Nidal Malik Hasan that could have prevented the Fort Hood shootings from taking place.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that just 16% disagree and do not believe political correctness kept military authorities from possibly stopping the killing of 13 people and the wounding of many others in the November 5 incident. Twenty-one percent (21%) are not sure.
Voters also have very mixed feelings about how President Obama and the Army responded to the Fort Hood incident.
Older Americans are more suspicious of political correctness than voters under 40. Whites were more likely than African-Americans to think political correctness kept the military from responding to warning signs from Hasan.
Republicans and voters not affiliated with either major political party overwhelmingly believe political correctness held the military back. That view is shared by 49% of Democrats while 23% of those in the president’s party disagree.
Seventy-five percent (75%) of Mainstream Americans think political correctness prevented the military from responding before the attacks took place, but a plurality (49%) of the Political Class disagrees.

New reports say authorities were aware of suspicious behavior and comments by Hasan, a devout Muslim, but no action was taken against him, in part because of concern that there might be an appearance of anti-Islamic bias. Both President Obama and the Army chief of staff urged Americans not to jump to conclusions about the cause of the shootings just after they took place.
But in a Rasmussen Reports survey less than a week after the shootings, 60% of Americans said the massacre at the Texas army base should be investigated by military authorities as a terrorist act.
37% say it’s “Bush’s fault” and “Bill Clinton told the truth. Always.”
These days, GOP pols are really lame. They won't take it up until some outside third party types or somebody like Palin create sensation by taking it on. From Newt to downward, too many of them are 'Newtered,'
Address political correctness for what it is -
a culture of LIES.

Newt, your credibility is shot. You sign onto Leftist agenda items too easily. You are known by the company you keep. You may not be liberal but you sure sold out the Party for the power.
Stalinist subversion.
look it up
IMHO, I think Palin would be perfect for crushing political correctness with her appeal to common sense. I think the left senses this in their bones. It also helps to explain their totally unwarranted and vicious behavior to Sarah and her family.
I'm referring to all of political correctness, not just the tragedy of Fort Hood, from multiculturalism and diversity to nonexistant global warming. Just about every facet of political correctness defies common sense or demonstrable facts.
Then 37% are stupid, crazy, or members of the cult of death.
OK, folks - the writing’s on the wall - Casey’s PC comments, CNO says he wants the Navy to be more “humanitarian”, no red flags on the Hood shooter, SEALS getting tried for war crimes - add it all up and you get the US of A in major, deep doo-doo...we need to TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It isn’t just the GOP pols who are lame. It’s worked its way right up to the military brass. This is a pathetic and unfortunate circumstance.
