I'm asking respectfully, did you pull me over just because you're an asshole?
Yeah, it's a funny notion of 'respect' when all you have to do is wave the word around and you're off the hook, no matter what content follows. "I'm asking this respectfully, but are you sure the whole Hitler thing is for real?"
