Not particularly eloquent, but one possibility would be:

(SaSwI' isn't necessarily the same thing as a zealot, but I figure being SaS is one of the zealot's worst properties where their ideas are concerned.)
Some less direct but arguably more eloquent interpretations:

vuD quvHa'moHbe' HarwI' quvHa'.

How would you translate the following quote into Klingon?
"It's important to remember that just because there are crooks, zealots and morons supporting a position, it does not automatically follow that the position is wrong."
