Don't feel so bad; I know it sometimes feels like everyone hates QA, but it's not really true (though programmers can get pissy towards the end of a project when you're finding unreplicatable crash-bugs).

That's mostly becuase a lot of QA suck. Good QA are hard to find (they mostly get promoted out of QA) so the default assumption is that it's staffed with morons.

This is just one company, QAs get different levels of respect at different companies. The company where I work at the moment the QAs seem to be regarded at a higher level than us mere code monkeys or the artists.

That sounds really broken. Why would QA be in a better people to decide things than the creative people who are actually going to implement the game?
