It is possible to respect the office and not respect the holder of the office, especially if said holder is using the office for his own agenda and gain - Nixon comes to mind. In cases like that, pointing out the failure of the man is not only our right, it's our responsibility.
The problem currently is that both sides have a huge propaganda machines that use lies, spin and disinformation to discredit anyone with whom they disagree, often in a manner that shows no respect for person or office. Unfortunately, the media has become lapdogs to these machines, and too many people are becoming willing tools - posting or forwarding anything that supports their position or opinion with no thought as to the source, or the potential damage to the target.
