you turn those protesting government abuse into a personal attack on members of the organization.

The right did this during the Iraq war. The more that in came out that the war was a fraud, they more they said anyone questioning the mission hated the "brave troops risking their lives for freedom". When in fact anyone who claimed to "support the troops" would have been demanding the war be stopped and they be brought home.
