I think most people realise that Amon and Tarrlok's idealogy was skewed. You certainly can't claim the moral high ground when looking at the equalists as they were essentially terrorists and trying wipe out 1/3 of the world's population. Tarrlok punished all non-benders for the actions of a few by assigning a curfew and having them unlawfully apprehended. But, they were doing it for a 'good' cause and just going about the wrong way. The equalists movement is like the civil rights movement in that they're fighting for equal right. However, Amon is less like Martin Luther King and more like Malcolm, if you must. Tarrlok retaliated on the equalist movement as they needed to be stopped but in doing so he targeted innocent civilians.
