It justifies their hatred. Before that, Jar Jar was just an annoying douche. After that, he's the annoying douche that gives rise to the Empire.
Lucas fully intended to have Jar Jar be the same old Jar Jar that he was in the first movie, but because of the outrage, he relegated the character to one, mumbling line and committing one of the most egregious acts in the story.
