And he vowed to continue pushing his message ahead of Thursday's Euro elections.
Mr Farage was targeted by a pro-EU fanatic who threw a drink over him while he was campaigning in Newcastle yesterday.
Today he pointed the finger at "radicalised" anti-Brexit campaigners.
The Brexiteer told LBC's Nick Ferrari: "We seem to have a group, albeit mercifully small, but a group of totally radicalised Remainers who believe that their point of view is morally superior to the 17.4million people who voted Brexit, and any form of behaviour so they can get their way is completely justified.
"I have to say I lay the blame for this very squarely at the door of leading politicians who refuse to accept the referendum result."
It takes a lot to frighten me
Nigel Farage
Speaking to TalkRADIO, he added: "Democracy only functions in a civilised manner if you have the loser's consent at elections.
"Senior figures in British public life have refused to accept the referendum result and that's why politics is the nasty place that it is."
But he insisted he's not scared of future attacks, saying: "It takes a lot to frighten me."
Mr Farage also hit out at the Electoral Commission, which is investigating his party's finances.
He blasted: "I've crossed with the Electoral Commission before - they are not a neutral organisation, absolutely full of Remainers, full of establishment figures.
"We are about not just leaving the European Union, the Brexit Party is about changing politics for good - getting SW1 and Westminster to reflect the country more broadly and the Electoral Commission are part of that huge reform that is needed."
