Answering Mr Farage's challenge to condemn the actions of pro-independence protesters who barracked him inside an Edinburgh pub, Mr Salmond said: "We can frankly do without Ukip who dislike everybody and know absolutely nothing about Scotland."
He described Mr Farage as "someone who is out-with the context of normal politics".
Earlier in the day Mr Farage had likened parts of the independence campaign to fascism after being rescued by police when he was mobbed by rowdy protesters shouting "racist Nazi scum".
