It might help that he's the loyal lapdog who let Palpatine get emergency powers.

Eh, there was nothing novel about that. All Jar Jar did was bring it up, the Senate had to vote for it. Palpantine must have had hundreds to thousands of Senators either allied with him ideologically or bought and paid for by that point. Any one of them could have done the same.

And he was loyal to Amidalla, doing what he thought she would do, not Palpatine or did you miss that bit?

Someone else could have done it and he wasn't doing it because he loved Palpatine. But it might have earned him a little more respect and tolerance under Palpatine's regime.

Only thing it would Palpatine think of him is that he's an easily manipulated fool. The galaxy is full of those, though, so I doubt he'd pay Jar Jar any mind.
As far as Jar Jar getting murdered by someone, I don't really see much reason for it. The anti-alien sentiment seen in the movies certainly didn't seem to be strong enough to expect murders to be going on all the time. At most, someone might have ended up deciding to enact "justice" on the guy who helped Palpatine rise to power. Assuming anybody even knew who that was.
