To play devil's advocate: the guy did name his terrorist group “The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants” (emphasis mine)...
(I think it's later been retconned as an attempt at irony, but if so the general public and some of the members clearly didn't get it.)
In all seriousness, I buy the irony thing, and also don't think Magneto would particularly care what the public thought, and as for the members, well, not all of them had super intelligence.
