While much of what you say is undoubtedly true, it also clearly applies to a very large number of political bodies, not to mention religious groups, academic societies and businesses.

My read of this comment is both that the ideas and the people who espouse them are not respectable. Half of that is on point, but half of that is not feasible. There are too many people in the world who are wrong about things to start disrespecting people for being wrong. Groups of people command some level of respect, even when they are being actively foolish.
