Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said on Sunday that the protesters at rival Donald Trump's rallies are behaving "abusively and wrong," but added that it doesn't help when the GOP front-runner encourages violence.

"At the end of the day in any campaign, responsibility starts at the top," the Texas senator said on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

"And it is not beneficial when you have a presidential candidate like Donald Trump telling his supporters, 'Punch that guy in the face.' We ought to have a president who brings us together, who doesn't seek to divide us."

Cruz said on Sunday that the protesters at Trump's rallies don't have a right to "threaten violence."

He added that it's important a candidate show respect for the voters.

What they want is an excuse to get violent. You have the police haul them away without encouraging your people to punch them on the way out.

My God the dishonesty is running rampant here anymore due to filthy liars like yourself.

Half this nation is cowards, the other half of us are left to

...be childish internet tuff guys.

...filthy liars like yourself.

Donald Trump on protester: 'I'd like to punch him in the face'. I'd wait for your apology but I'm not holding my breath. You can accuse CNN of being a liar if you like. I have no problem with that.

You said:

You have the police haul them away without encouraging your people to punch them on the way out.

Not:

Donald Trump on protester: 'I'd like to punch him in the face'.

Hence your a filthy f'ing liar.

Is it just me or does somebody else here have a problem with the definitions of a word? Or maybe they are, in their own words, "a filthy f'ing liar".

Crude , rude and uncivilized is the leftist way of going thru life.

It's just you, it's a common problem with the very dishonest.

It's just you, it's a common problem with the very dishonest.

At least you are consistent , even if it is consistently wrong. I'll give you a hint on how to carry out a civilized or logical debate: you actually provide proof of what you are saying rather than making unsubstantiated claims. This is the trouble with the objective reality we find ourselves in: those troublesome things called facts. You actually have to become acquainted with them and learn how to use them.

While arguing with a hothead can be fun and amusing it's not something I've come to expect on Free Republic . It usually happens when I'm dealing with angry Muzzies who get righteously mad when I point out to them the inherently invincible evil in Islam.

I'll give you a hint on how to carry out a civilized or logical debate:

Eat crap you lying POS. You are not worthy of a civil debate because you come armed only with lies. Do not post to me again unless you can tell the truth.
