That was a nice wall of text, now explain the joke I didn't get.

Today, by coincidence (no statistics to prove it was not causal) there's another Representative on the list...

Rep. Andy Harris Presented With Climate Change Denier Award

The Maryland League of Conservation Voters presented Maryland’s
U.S. Rep. Andy Harris with a “climate change denier award” on Tuesday
to call attention to what the organization calls the Republican lawmaker’s
“extreme anti-science views.”

The award, part of a nationwide day of action by conservationists to hold
climate change deniers accountable, was bestowed during separate events
at Harris’ offices in Chester and Bel Air.

What joke? He demonstrated how dumb and ignorant people are when a political agenda is more important than reality and the advancement of mankind. Listen to Limbaugh and you too can be dumber than a Cellar monkey.

Wacko extremism is alive and well. Low intelligence is the result. Just another reason why the world needs more moderates.

Only joke is the reasoning used by extremists. Same logic also gleefully massacred 5000 American servicemen uselessly in Iraq. And blamed the victims for no government assistance in New Orleans for five days after Katrina.

as to the joke,

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
