So you have to take everything what adults say and do for granted? Adults are in some occasions even more stupid than we are. If this does occur, there's nothing wrong by telling them they're wrong. I don't know how you're raised, but that seems reasonable behaviour to me, not disrespectful.
@OP: Sure it's a nice feeling to watch him suffer. I know that and I have often done some things myself. (hiding things on purpose for example) However, while it gives some satisfaction this is not a long-term solution. Talk to him, or if direct talk doesn't work, write him a letter/email. For some strange reason written text has more effect on people, I guess it gives the subjected person more time to reflect their own behaviour.
If that doesn't work, consider living with your mom if that's possible, or contact a social worker in case your mom and dad have shared custody. In that case, he isn't allowed to forbid you to contact your mom. (that's some article of our law) But if you're going down this road, first think of the consequences. Your dad will probably lose custody or even get punished. Social workers can be a real pain in the ass, when you can solve it without them, I strongly recommend you to do so.
EDIT: oh and like Sublime said, find out what his arguments are to do this. In this way you are able to produce some argument against his statements when the time comes.
