although I understand the right's belief that academia is not at all respectable or even sane

I have nothing against academia in general, but considering the acts and associations of a number of them I don't consider becoming a member of academia to itself be any serious evidence that someone is worthy of respect. Its not a negative sign in any way IMO, but its not a defense of, or reasonable support of the person in question.
