Recently a co-worker of mine was given a Senior Recruiter position back in November 2013. This person promoted is a recruiter that has always been very rude to me and we never really got along so I never reached out to him as all recruiters work remotely. Once promoted to my new manager he has been bullying me at work and making comments to me about finding a new job and maybe this is not for me. On the back end of this I am the top performing recruiter on the team next to this recruiter. As of Friday he put me on a PIP, but I don't agree with how I can be on it when I am the top recruiter for the team. How do I respond to this PIP?

You follow the plan, do as it dictates, or you'll be seeking new employment.
If the company had wanted your opinion on these matters, you'd be his manager.
Being a manager or supervisor doesn't mean you were the best janitor, plumber, sales person, cashier, programmer, or whatever you were.
Being a manager requires more than doing the job or task well.
What I've observed over my life is the best baseball players rarely become managers.
Just as the best warriors (soldiers) rarely become generals.
If I were you, I'd man up and complete the PIP. Good luck.

You don't have to agree with it. If your manager puts you on a PIP, then you follow the terms of the PIP.
The law does not address PIP's in any way, shape or form. It's entirely up to the employer.

Just because you are the top recruiter doesn't mean you can't be put on a PIP plan. There could be various reasons as to why you were put on the PIP plan. You best follow the PIP plan or you might end up without a job. Sorry.
Setup
Its obvious that this is a setup. Man-ing it up and doing the PIP will result in a paper trail for termination. The best chance here is to write a letter challenging the facts of the PIP, if you suspect there may be an improper motive that may be illegal state that in the letter.
Write accomplishments even ones stating that you have successful recruiting metrics. Address it to the President of the Company and other top officials. I have seen PIP's withdrawn, people transfered to other departments when taking this approach. In a worse case, it may even give you more time to find another job while the company investigates your complaint.
You have a duty to stand up for yourself and your family. PIP's are never in good faith. Use the power of negotiation and creativity, something many lawyers seem to lack.
Good luck.
