This revolution is likely a two pronged attack, one being a public political attack where the revolution seeks to discredit benders and turn public opinion against them, and a more cloak and dagger attack where Amon and his steampunk ninjas come in. While some revolutionaries like the soapbox commentor verbally turn people against benders, Amon and his agents are working behind the scenes to quietly take down and eliminate benders. It would do Amon and the revolution no good if they started eliminating benders before eroding public opinion of them, since they would then be viewed as little more than criminals and thugs. But with the public against benders, their actions become more justified and accepted rather than viewed merely as criminal.
