I think it comes down to attacking the idea or the attitude, as opposed to the person. That said, there are some ideas and attitudes that just reflect so poorly on a person that they should probably be shamed (i.e. homophobia, racism, etc.). I guess I also don't understand why taking down someone of middle-class or lower status is something to crow up about. Their spheres of influence are very small. Taking someone like Donald Trump to task is completely different than going after some mid-level manager.
