Earlier today, Riptide's resident Tea Party trouble-maker Gus Garcia-Roberts took a strong stand against Libertarian hero Ron Paul -- as well as his allegedly "sandpapery man hands" -- while demanding that Paul "cease to exist (in politics.)"
To say that Paul's supporters were angry at Garcia-Roberts column would be to say that Newt Gingrich has some fidelity issues. The piece has drawn more than two hundred comments to date, not to mention a full voice mail box. Click through for the ten most well-reasoned rebuttals from the bowels of the Interwebs.

I'm wondering do you just not know how to use the Internet, do you not know how to research, or are you just lying, putting words in people's mouths? ... I don't mean to be rude, but either you're dumb or you don't know how to researchNannyNannyBooBoo:

Gus Roberts, I've never even heard of your pathetic journalist ass before, so how about you go cease your existence somewhere in the Everglades and feed some hungry alligators.

Dear Gus, this is an abomination towards Miami and the people of Miami. I am embarrassed to live in the same city as your lame ass.1. Nora Smith:
A child still with the scars left by Fidel, once in America LOOKING FOR ATTENTION!! His parents taught him VERY WELL the 'third-world country JOURNALISM!" (Ed note: Sadly, Gus is from New York and is not Cuban.)-- Nicky Diaz contributed to this piece.
