I don't think they hate all benders. When they saw Tarrlok abuse his authority, who did they turn to? Korra, the most powerful bender of all. I think they know many benders use their abilities to make the lives of non-benders worse, but they still know that some benders--like the avatar--are their allies. Sure enough, when the police turned against the non-benders, Korra was there stop them, re-enforcing their belief that some benders could be their friends. However, Tarrlok is most definitely going about stopping the Equalists--if that's his real objective. He's quite clearly using the whole situation to gain dictatorial power. I'm starting to realise real-world references here.
