A good example is loving someone with an addiction.
You can love the individual and try and help them step through recovery, and still hate the sin.
This separation of the individual from the sin, can be applied to any sin.
But what about 'sins' that aren't a matter of choice or effort on the sinner's part? Like being homosexual or not believing in god? And the Bible has some pretty nutty punishments for sinners - if you're supposed to love the sinner, why would you punish them?
