Sorry, Rush, incorrect metaphor. "Circling the wagons" is something you do to protect someone, not to attack them...

To repeat myself:

When Rush said it that way, he was probably thinking about how the left implements one of the tactics that Hillary's mentor, Saul Alinsky advises them to use.

It involves "surrounding and freezing " their target.

They followed Alinsky's tactics to the "T" when they went after Newt. They're doing the same thing to DeLay. They figure that by taking DeLay out of commission, they will be able to prevent President Bush from getting his agenda through Congress.

The details:

[Saul] Alinsky defined "obtaining power" as a key tactic of organizing his "mass jujitsu." His formula for attack: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it."
