They had a good message, but just totally fucked it up, and lost the support of 98% of the population in doing so.

Shutting down a port was supported by the unions that operate that port, and by the people who work there. In fact, they all worked together to shut down that port. If anything, they gained momentum and support for doing so. The Washington Post interviewed 1 trucker who said his wife would be angry and you believe they lost support of 98% of the people, come on
What you see in the picture is a few people trying to gather attention in the way that they see fit. It's more than most of us are doing for the country. But, the movement itself has steadily increased in supporters and activists. They are occupying homes across the country and not letting the banks foreclose, they are moving into Washington and congress in January, they are headed to Manning's trial to protest his detainment, there are planned protests of the new Defense bill signed by Obama, and the list goes on and on. Stop reading the mainstream press and take a look at what's actually being done, not at what's being spun and ignored.
