As we say in the South -- it's time for a "Come to Jesus Moment."
The 2016 Republican presidential race has been one of the most rancorous in recent history. The behavior of the candidates and their followers has been downright repulsive.
There are no clean hands among this bunch. Instead of focusing squarely on the issues at hand -- they have chosen to engage in ugly personal attacks.
I'm especially disappointed in the behavior of those devout followers of both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.
For what it’s worth many good-hearted conservatives have been caught in the crossfire between the warring factions.
They have filled our Facebook pages and Twitter feeds with filthy messages. Reasoned and thoughtful conversation has been replaced with hateful rhetoric and insults.
If you praise Trump, the Cruz people attack. If you praise Cruz, the Trump people attack. If you criticize Trump, you’re accused of being a left wing liberal. If you criticize Cruz, you’re accused of being an establishment Republican.

Your guy is going to lose so you want a truce? No way.
Fox News has a LOT of darned nerve, whining.
Just put a sock in it, Fox.
Ugh. Being scolded by a pajama boy.
LOL.
That's Megyn-grade pretentiousness.
Maybe FNC could can Megyn Kelly as a sign that they ready to make peace.
Bugger-off, Faux.
And take ME-ME-ME-Gyn with you.
“I’m especially disappointed in the behavior of those devout followers of both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. “
We’re especially disappointed in the behavior of Fox News.
STFU faux snoooooooze.
This from Fox News? Anyone from Fox News? Please! I don’t know whether to be sick or laugh.
Politics has always been a contact sport. But after 30 odd years of talk radio (both sides), 24/7 cable news that has focused on zingers (the bolder the better) and fueling the worst fears and anger in us instead of the top stories plus books, newspaper articles and news letters doing the same. And now they wonder why the culture is coarse even amongst ourselves.
The establishment isn’t going to let either be the nominee.
Perhaps if FOX just reported the news instead of spreading the nastiness with bias and hate in their programming, things could have been better.
I like Starnes, but if he is unable to see that FOX has done their part in encouraging and participating in all the foulness, then there is no helping Starnes.
Todd Starnes
I am sure your boy Ted would agree with you Todd.
The same Ted Cruz who has accused (falsely) Trump and his supporters of causing violence at their own rallies, and of attacking reporters (false).
Ted agrees with Todd so much that he will volunteer to murder Trump by running over him with his car.
Where was this guy when Cruzlims were screeching at my lack of conservative principles when their guy was getting left out of the roster of candidates before Trump announced?
I don’t want to attack Starnes too vigorously because he is a good guy most of the time. However, I hear him on Christian radio as well as on Fox News. At least on Christian radio, he is one of the primary merchants of bile with respect to the Republican primary. He is transparently pro-Cruz which is his privilege; however, he routinely impugns the Christian character and conservative impulses of those who disagree with him.
I always hate it when a bully asks for peace when he starts to lose the fight. It is not only a bully’s tactic, it is straight out of the liberal playbook.
To fox news...Matthew 7:3
Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
Will not watch till they clean it up, have not watched since the kelly debate.
This article is focusing on the one part of this race that i think IS typical.
