Personally, I don't, but I do know that many Argentinians dislike him. Why? There are several reasons.
They said that Manu should be the #2 option in the team after Timmy, specially last season. Also, they don't like Tony's playing style, I guess some of the people that dislike Parker would like a "pass-first" Point Guard, because they believe that would mean more points for Manu, which I believe is a ridiculous idea. When Manu is on the floor he gets plenty of points now. It might have been different in the past, when he was left alone in a corner to shoot a three pointer and nothing else.
Other complains include that Tony isn't consistent with his game (appart from Duncan, who is?), that he tends to dissapear in important moments (this last two playoffs series are proving that is wrong). In the Manu website forum, this Parker hate has been baptised the "Parker paranoia" by those who don't share that point of view.
Personally, I really like Tony's game, he still has to improve some things, but he has a very good present and a huge future. And I really don't care if Manu scores 50 or 20, or if he starts or comes from the bench. The most important thing is the ring.

Maybe my english is bad or you people are too sensitive. I dont HATE parker. I just dont like his style of play. Its always a matter of taste.
Is Parker a good player? YES, of course he is.
Can he play better than this? I'm saying he should... Apparently TP lovers think he cant play any better.
I will keep remarking the things i dont like about him because i think they hurt the team.
And I'm not Argentina. I'm an individual. Thats like saying everyone in USA is a child molester based on Michael Jackson.

Exactly my point. Thats why i say DESPITE the point guard.
