the video makes these connections: hurricanes cause lots of damage hurricanes are named people who've suffered damage are angry at people with those names (this is the fulcrum of the joke. of course the people who've had their house destroyed don't really hate "Sandy", but are shaking their fist at the heavens, they just happen to have a can of spray paint in their hand at the time and the shaking coincidentally follows the path of letters resembling "Sandy") the authors of the video suggest that the anger these people feel shouldn't be directed at innocents named Ivan, Andrew, Sandy, Katrina, etc but at the real people who are really responsible, namely (hard to avoid that one, really) the politicians, Issa, Boehner, Broun, etc. the authors suggest that the politicians are responsible by obstructing progress on legislative efforts to slow anthropogenic climate change ... tl;dr don't be mad at Sandy, be mad at Boehner, Smith, Inhofe, et al
