1. Rarely I'd say
Schools don't like controversy of either side. And as much as they are upset about President Obama's speech, we would be equally upset about Rush Limbaugh appearing there (and with far more reason). I suppose his books are probably in some school libraries (high school).

4. Is he still broadcast on Armed Forces Radio, in violation of the Hatch Act
Isn't it the Hatch Act that governs certain mixes of politics and military? Doesn't it bar active duty personnel from engaging in any sort of political exercise while wearing uniform? And doesn't it bar political broadcasts from Armed Forces Radio?

Rush has been on it for years. And one could reasonably argue that any program that is naught but criticism of one party and one side of the political spectrum IS political. Is Rush STILL on the AFR?
