Is that a serious question? They're trying to show Visa that there are quite a lot of people who are very upset with them for booting Wikileaks.
It may be asinine, but many political demonstrations are.

In the CNN article now posted on Hacker News, http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2010/12/more_wikileaks http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2010/12/more_wikileak... , the Low Orbit Ion Canon is volunteer. It would seem that there are that many who are agreeing with the assault, or at least not removing their agreement with Anonymous' general decisions.
