Fidel Castro has lambasted the Republican presidential race as the greatest competition of "idiocy and ignorance" the world has ever seen, and also criticised the news media and foreign governments for seizing on the death of a Cuban prisoner to demand greater respect for human rights.
Castro's comments came in a long opinion piece carried by official media two days after a Republican debate in Florida presented mostly hardline stances on what to do about the Communist-run island.
Cuba has become an important issue as the candidates court Florida's influential Cuban-American community in an effort to win the biggest electoral prize so far in the primary season.

Ask the Cuban-Americans in Florida, they support a hard stance against Cuba, by a vast majority.
And, we listen to a man who killed almost 100,000 people during his reign of terror? The republican candidates are choirboys compared to evil fidel.
9:01 Have you personally asked them?
1053-Actually I have. Three members of my family worked in Miami, where most of their employees were Cuban Americans, and the vast majority were for stauncher regs against Cuba. This is also supported by numerous polls from reliable sources such as Gallup, Rasmussen, etc. Now tell me, how does your foot taste?
